Pretty Thoughts
Kenny Mason Lyrics

Pretty thoughts keep me going
Beautiful ideas and thoughts give me the strength to continue and persevere

Pretty blocks, the street exploded
The neighborhoods I grew up in are vibrant and full of life

Pretty dogs with wings to float with
Imaginary creatures that symbolize freedom and escape

To keep, keep, keep
To hold on, persist, and not let go

Don't keep the ball from me, I want it
Do not deprive me of opportunities or success, I desire them

It's exhausting reaching for it
Striving for those opportunities can be draining and tiring

Wings apart
Having wings spread wide, ready to soar and escape

These the thoughts that keep me goin'
These positive and inspiring thoughts are what motivate me to keep moving forward

Ridin' with some niggas I would die for, yeah, yeah
Being loyal to and riding alongside friends who I would sacrifice my life for

How many would you stay alive for? Yeah, yeah
Questioning others about the level of loyalty and dedication they have towards their friends

Life can't kill me, I'm alive, oh yeah, yeah
Despite the obstacles and challenges life throws at me, I'm still alive and resilient

Whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
An expression of surprise or awe

Follow me now
Join me on this journey

Come and see now, never be alone
Experience what I experience, and you'll never feel lonely

They know me now
People recognize who I am and what I'm about

In the streets, I'll never be alone
Even in the tough streets, I always have companionship and support

Oh, if I leave you now
If I were to depart from your presence

If I bleed it out, I won't bleed alone
If I confront my pain and struggles openly, others will share in my vulnerability

Almighty nigga
A feeling of power and dominance

All lightning, it was dogs flying in this bitch
Intense and energetic, with a wild and untamed vibe

I heard the shots firing but my heart giant
Despite the dangerous situations, my courage and determination are unwavering

I'm a Rottweiler with some twists
A strong and resilient individual with unique characteristics

They finna lock, ridin' with a Glock nine
They are about to get arrested, but I am carrying a loaded firearm for protection

And it not mine but it fit
The gun I possess may not be legally mine, but it suits my needs

Right in my drawers fine, and if y'all try it
Hidden discreetly on my body, and if anyone tries to harm me

I'ma start firing just to live
I will use my weapon as a means of self-defense and survival

I came from hard times like equations
I have experienced difficult and challenging circumstances similar to complex math problems

I had to starve tryna get a meal
I had to battle hunger and deprivation in my pursuit of sustenance

I had a hard time entertaining these niggas
I struggled to engage or find value in the company of certain individuals

Y'all lives ain't for real
Your lives are not authentic or genuine

It's enough doves crying for a lake
There are already plenty of tears shed, symbolized by doves, for a large body of water

Feelin' it's a flock flying in the field
Sensing a collective energy or movement of a group in my surroundings

I knew wasn't nobody finna save me
I understood that nobody was going to come and rescue or help me

I had to start flying up the hill, I had a thought
I had to begin my ascent and overcome obstacles, driven by a powerful idea or realization
