Clouds
MEDHANE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Questions all in my days, my goals and my gaze
Tryna reach ′em
Get 'em if you could apply reason
Pride had me stuck when others would try teaching
Had to see it for myself and it showed me more
Remember great was all we saw
Turned the work to the wealth now
Steady searching 'til it's found
Aye chips all in, but I ain′t saw shit but some crows
And when the grind done
Hope that I′mma find sumn, I don't know
(I don′t know, I don't know)
I can′t be bored (nah), I can't be bored (nah, nah)
I can′t be bored
I can't be bored (nah), I can't be bored (nah)
I can′t be bored, I
Ain′t a bag I been offered
That could change the steady longing
I been feeling since a youth
Glass ceiling broken through, by my younger
Older brother got me so I love him
Pressure kept my pain wrapped under plenty pages
We was on the late shift, with heavy eyelids
Niggas say they get it, but the world full of liars
I been tryna find uh, where my brain went?
I was bunnin' spliffs, gunning for the cake and
Ain′t see a familiar face in a looking glass
Leave me out, leave me last
I don't trip off what they see me as, cus them feelings past
Aye chips all in, but I ain′t saw shit but some crows
And when the grind done
Hope that I'mma find sumn, I don′t know
(I don't know, I don't know)

I am no longer bothered by how others perceive me, since those emotions have dissipated
