Release
J.J. Flores & Steve Smooth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too much to unpack
They like where you been?
Man I've been off the map
But I'm happy to be home
Man I'm glad I made it back
'Cause I been through it all
This year plus tax
But they never take my word
It's like I'm always prone to cap
They will never understand me
I'm good keeping it like that
You can judge me how you judge me
If you find your peace in that
But you can't speak on my account
When you don't even know the half
I was in and out the hospital
Had a couple surgeries
I was facing obstacles
Sorry you ain't heard from me
I been really busy
I been thumbing through adversity
But you would never know
'Cause checking isn't common courtesy
Anyhow I had to learn to be okay with it
Why give all my trust and loyalty
To see them play with it?
I won't further waste my energy
So I'll just set you free
Now you don't have to worry 'bout the day
'Cause my God's saving it
I don't know my way, but
I believe he's making it
Tap into my faith, 'cause it's
More than just me saying it
Practice to be still, cause I
Know I gotta wait for it
Screaming out my lungs
You couldn't say I didn't pray for it
Finally got it done
Watch me walk the stage with it
Now I'm having fun (uh)
Watch me pave the way with it
Genius going dumb
(Yeah)
(Mmm)
How you got the genius going dummy?
(Got the genius going dumb)
(Du-dumb)




(Mmm-uh)
Praise the one above me
