Hopscotch
love-sadKid & Garrett. Lyrics

We been on this road for too long
We have been facing challenges and obstacles for an extended period of time

I can feel it coming soon, tonight
I have a strong sense that something significant is about to happen, possibly tonight

And I don't know where it's all gone
I am unsure of where everything has disappeared or gone

But I know that it'll be alright
Despite the uncertainties, I have faith that everything will be fine

It's feeling like the petals just
It seems as if the positive aspects of life are not favoring me

Don't fall in my favor
They are not working in my advantage or benefiting me

Following fallen fickle dreams that put
Chasing after inconsistent and unreliable dreams that have

My pen to the paper i think it's hopscotch
Causing me to write and express my thoughts, like playing hopscotch

Jumping off one leg unto another
Moving from one idea or experience to another without stability

Better bet I make those colors change
I am confident that I can bring about significant transformations

Sunny days to acid rain
Turning cheerful moments into painful ones

Life is just massive pain with
Life feels overwhelmingly painful, accompanied by

Cigarette burns and ash stains
Marks of suffering and destruction

Y'all must be smokin' something
You all must be delusional or unaware of reality

Feel it in my lungs I gotta
I can physically sense the impact, causing me to

Shout to get the word out
Verbally express myself in order to share my thoughts and emotions

Like I'm swimming in the syrup I
Feeling as if I am navigating through thick and slow circumstances

Shoulda drowned inside this world now
I should have succumbed to the difficulties of this world

Aunt Jemima got it out for me
I feel as if the universe or life itself wishes me harm

Slower than I need to go
Progressing at a pace that is slower than what is necessary for me

Burning rubber hopefully that someone else
Taking risks and making significant efforts, hoping that another person

Can see the smoke
Will notice my struggles and difficulties

SOS I need that help I am a mess, a handful
Calling out for assistance because I am overwhelmed and struggling

Least my momma says I'm
At least my mother claims that I am

Funny and I'm handsome
Funny and good-looking, providing some solace or comfort

I been jumping round on one leg
I have been navigating through life with instability and imbalance

Losing balance like a manx
Losing stability and equilibrium, similar to a tailless cat

Signing deals on left and right I
Entering into agreements and contracts frequently, as if from all directions

Need that money in the bank
Requiring financial stability and security

Feeling hopeless
Experiencing a lack of optimism or belief

Don't know where the road is
I am unsure of the path or direction to take

Lost my sight a mile back and
I have lost my vision or clarity long ago, and

All I am is over it i know that's it
I am tired and fed up with everything, I am certain of it

It's no coincidence I'm less friendly
My decreasing friendliness is not a random occurrence

Ain't no predicament to bob and
There is no difficulty or adversity stopping me from

Weave been running on empty
Continuously striving and pushing forward, despite lacking resources

Anchor weight resentment I'm tempted
Feeling the burden of bitterness and being tempted to hold onto it

To keep pretending
Continuing to act or behave as if everything is fine

Put on my khakis and button
Wearing my khaki pants and fastening

Up my tucked in shirt i wanna live simply
My tucked-in shirt, symbolizing a desire to live a simple life

But fortune favors the consistent and
Being consistent and persistent is more likely to bring success and favor

My masters ain't so omniscient
Those who control or have power over me are not all-knowing

Calm kisses and a frantic sense of conviction
Exchanging gentle and tender kisses while feeling an urgent sense of determination

Remember, every face in the crowd be
Reminding myself that every person in the crowd

Thinking that they think different
Believes that they have unique thoughts or perspectives

Heavy dose of self respect i pay my debts
Valuing and respecting myself greatly, fulfilling my obligations and responsibilities

I thrive in stress pay your tides
Thriving and achieving growth under pressure, repay what you owe

I even been lying less
I have reduced the frequency of my dishonesty

Not a whole lot left to confess
There are not many things remaining for me to admit or reveal

I think I finally understand
I believe that I have reached a comprehension or realization

Serving your purpose and scratching the
Fulfilling your life's mission and making slight progress

Surface of being a man
Only touching the surface of what it means to be a mature adult

So deep inside my head
Immersed in my own thoughts and emotions

Affection read like accusation
Receiving love or care from others feels like a criticism or accusation

Couldn't hear her begging
Unable to listen to her pleas or requests

Me for reciprocation
For me to respond or show similar gestures of affection

Partly believing every resource spent
Partially believing that every effort or resource invested

Need compensation forgetting
Requires some form of reward or compensation, forgetting that

Love is not a zero sum equation
Love does not involve winners and losers, it is not a calculation of gains and losses

Got nothing but patience
I possess nothing except for patience

There are things inside your heart that
Deep within your heart, there exist elements that

You can't choke in blood
Cannot be suppressed or suffocated with negativity or anger

But that don't mean I don't want to
However, it does not indicate that I do not desire to

My default to confront you but
My instinct is to confront you, but

Wheres the growth in
What is the benefit or progress in

Holding close the things that brought me here
Clutching onto the things that led me to this point in my life

Who you are gon' change as much
The essence of who you are will transform as

As what you thought you loved
Much as what you believed to be love

Boy everything is perfect
Everything appears to be flawless or faultless

I'm everyone I'm supposed to be
I have become the person I am meant to be

Not a follicle or cell out of place
Every aspect or detail is in its proper position and order
