Walkin'
michael aristotle Lyrics

Cameras rollin'
I'm in the public eye and trying to be seen by others

I hope ya' notice
I want others to recognize me

100 degrees out
It's hot outside

Flow the coldest
My rap skills are top-notch

Went to college
I attended college

The Throne made Otis
The band The Throne produced a song called Otis

Barack was Potus
Barack Obama was the President of the United States

Michelle was Flotus
Michelle Obama was the First Lady of the United States

Fast forward present
Now in the present moment

Heart is broken
My heart is hurting emotionally

Blunts are rolling
We are rolling marijuana cigarettes

The smoke is potent
The marijuana is strong

Dropping ashes
Ashes from the marijuana are falling

Hold the lotion
We need to apply lotion because our skin is dry from the smoking

Burning my lips from smoking roaches
The end of the marijuana cigarette burned our lips

I just wanna get high all day
I want to smoke marijuana all day

She just wanna' sip mimosas
She wants to drink mimosas

Proposing toasts
We are raising our glasses in a toast

In the lab i'm focus
I am focused on making music in the studio

Fans waiting for my Magnum Opus
My fans are waiting for a masterpiece album

Came in the league we ain't have no coaches
When I started out, we didn't have any mentors

We get tackled
We encounter obstacles

Ain't no offense
We don't have a plan to overcome the obstacle

She give me dome
She performs oral sex on me

I say oh shit
I am surprised by the act

Ayos Mios
Oh my gosh (Spanish)

Buenos Noches
Goodnight (Spanish)

Just another girl that's in my contacts
A girl's phone number is in my phone

I miss her call
I didn't answer her phone call

I don't call back
I don't call her back

She wanna' press play
She wants to start a romantic relationship

I wanna' pause that
I don't want to start a relationship

I went autumn
I experienced a difficult time

I had to fall back
I had to step back from a situation

Blankets on couch
Blankets are on the couch

Where I sleep on
I sleep on the couch

When it's daytime
During the day

I can't be home
I can't stay at home

We go Downtown
We go to the city center

Streets my feet on
I am walking on the streets

Walk on Peachtree
I walk on Peachtree street

I need to be gone
I need to leave

I need space
I need distance from someone

She need a best friend
She wants a platonic friend

I ain't have a car
I do not own a car

I'm feeling less than
I feel inferior

Ain't got nowhere to go
I have nowhere to be

Time need to extend
I need more time

I'm in the lobby
I am in the hotel lobby

Writin' rhymes at the Westin
I am writing rap lyrics at the Westin hotel

How did I condone this
How did I let this happen?

Early 20s how is he relating to the homeless
How is someone so young relating to the homeless?

Only difference I look clean
The only difference is that I look clean while they don't

But anyone could expose it
Anyone could reveal my true situation

Like when the day is over where the fuck he goin' home at?
Where am I going to spend the night when the day is over?

Where's my visa?
Where is my credit card?

Peachtree Plaza
A hotel in Atlanta, Georgia

To Vinny's Pizza
A pizza restaurant

Right by that Starbucks
Located near a Starbucks coffee shop

Frappuccinos
A type of Starbucks coffee drink

Ain't get kicked out
I was not asked to leave the establishment

Had on clean clothes
I was wearing clean clothing

Piedmont Park
A public park in Atlanta, Georgia

I sit on the bench
I am sitting on a bench in the park

Watching birds fly, Georgia Peaches
Watching birds fly and enjoying the scenery

Then come nighttime, back on eastside
When it becomes night, I return to the east side of town

I smell like outside, under street lights
I smell like the outdoors while standing under street lights

Wednesday night in the jeep with Will
On a Wednesday night riding in a jeep with Will

His left hand swerved on the steering wheel
He maneuvers the car with his left hand

The cops hit the sirens and pulled us over
The police turned on their lights and pulled us over

Quiktrip parking lot, in the slowest motion
We stopped in a Quiktrip parking lot very slowly

Windows down they could smell the odor
The police officers could smell the marijuana odor

Flashlights flashed over our shoulders
The police shone flashlights on us

We smoked like 20/30 minutes ago
We smoked about 20 or 30 minutes prior to being stopped

The weed scent still was loud over the cologne
The smell of the marijuana was stronger than our cologne

The officer had asked if its weed in the truck
The police officer asked if there was marijuana in the car

He asked is there any hiding spots-we would ever put the weed in the front
The officer asked if we hide the marijuana in the car's front

But we smoked it all
We have already smoked all the marijuana

They still searched the car
The police still searched the car

2 more cops in the back
Two more police officers are in the back seat

We waited on the sidewalk
We stood on the sidewalk and waited

Told us to relax
The police officers told us to calm down

Said we must be artists
The police officers speculated that we were musicians

He asked me to rap, While they search whip?
The police officer asked me to perform a rap while they searched the car

Nigga i wanted to snap
I wanted to be angry or upset at the situation

My bro told me do it, we just tryna' make it home
My friend encouraged me to perform to avoid any potential issues

I spit a lil' 12, left the nigga mindblown
I performed a short rap that impressed the officer

They didn't find shit so they all drove off
The police officers did not find anything and left

I felt like a slave right after we rode off
I felt trapped and powerless in the situation

That's what they thinking
That's what they think of us

Of me and my dawgs
Of me and my friends

Think we troubled, but can't see my scars
They assume we are problematic, but they do not understand our struggles

Or what i been through
Or my personal experiences

So i'll keep talking
I will keep rapping and sharing my experiences

Don't let it get you down
Don't let the situation get you down emotionally

Just keep walking
Just keep going forward and moving on
