Tilt
Spezial-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Feelin' so lost without you
Without you
Feelin' so lost
Feel so lost
Feel so lost without you
Gotta treat it like therapy
Time to treat it like therapy
I been on tilt
Time to treat it like therapy
Know I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
I just cried my first two tears in three years
Safe to say that was overdue
Some would say I broke down
I would say I broke through
How'd I reach this clarity without therapy
That's what she asked me
Sometimes it feels really embarrassing
I been had my head underwater
I could write a tragedy
To be or not to be
That's a verse from Hamlet
I'm in the church
Lifting off these curses
Holy pamphlets
Approach me with the right questions
I give you hard answers
Nah, you ain't hear me dawg
I give you heart answers
I give you long stanzas
I give you two chances
And back in middle school
We used to watch Hannah Montana
I know that seems random
But what I'm saying is
Sometimes I feel like a superstar that's throwing Disney tantrums
They try to tempt the masses
I try and tame the cancer
Quand c'est, Quand c'est, what the song say
And I like all my mermaids blacker than my coffee canister
Having thoughts about when I'ma break the family up
You know the brotherhood
But we getting older now
No more cold shoulders now
It's time to spread wings
Try some new things
We moved to LA to make the scene shake
We moved to LA to make the bank break
Private handshakes for sentimental keepsakes
Gotta treat it like therapy
Time to treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
I been on tilt
Time to treat it like therapy
Know I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
It's like I had to lose myself to find myself
It's like a memory you can't forget
But this multi-hyphenate is flooding through your pipe again
Really I'm a beast boy
No need to check the licenses, uh
Sometimes I feel too special
I wanna be everybody's everything
But still have boundaries
I wanna be siamese
Come join to the hip to learn about all your extremities
I ask, is that mature of me?
I never had an OG or a big bro
But somehow I never ended up a lost soul
I realized I got a calling
It's to lead the way
I was scared, so I retreated to a dormant place
I found safety in the shadows, but that's no escape
I finally leveled up my life like I'm supposed to do
And shoutout to my friend from the 312
I'm glad we reconnected
Cause I really missed your deep affection
I'm just loving through the imperfections
Tossing and turning through these imperfections
I'm just learning through my imperfections
I'm just yearning for some pure perception
I'm just loving through my imperfections
I'm just learning through the imperfection
And I'm still learning
So bare with me
Gotta treat it like therapy
Time to treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
I been on tilt
Time to treat it like therapy
Know I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
I treat everybody too professional
I put the text message all in Grammarly
Vanish mode the DM they can't handle me
They ask me what I do for fun
I turn around and make a pun
Turn these rappas to my sons
Cause everybody know BIG FREEZY got it
Everybody wanna come and chill on BIG FREEZY island
Tryna keep my heart in a city that is so flawed
Swimming in the deep waters
Making friends with the sharks
Tryna stay faithful and pure
And just play my part
And stay with the art
I be dodging lil shawty and it breaks my heart
But the way that I maneuver
I need me a shawty that study law
Since an embryo, I been had the world in awe
Since a fetus boy, you know I been defying odds
Pregnant pause for the breech birth
Touched down feet first
Huh, I been doing deep work
The culture got evil eye dangling round they neck
Aye look
I really mean no disrespect
Those empty amulets is spiritual incest
They spiritual insects
You praying to detect the wicked prospects
The glory from Shekinah
I lay prostrate like prosthetics on a diabetic
Dianetics run rampant in a city where they dialect-ing
Holy Spirit on me
Jesus wept; I cried a river
Gotta treat it like therapy
I been on tilt
Time to treat it like therapy
Know I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
Gotta treat it like therapy
When I'm on tilt
Gotta treat it like therapy
