about

Written and produced by Lil' WORD

lyrics

Im just tryna find peace already missin some
Walk the line to a different drum
Yeah im a different one
Battlin my thoughts
Even when im vibin
Drown my sorrows in the speakers when im drivin
Had another bottle i should check if im alive then
Party at the crib all my problems start ariving
Loudest of them all is the ones i been denying
Next morning woke up in the bed i had to lie in

And I made it. Aint no shame in my walk
It should rain when i talk cuz the truth got a temperature
wonder why ya ears ringin off when i mention ya
Actin like you dont know the cost its the regular


The universe gon pull up them receipts
Sweep a nigga off his feet aint no fairytale about it
Yeah we heard you bout it bout it but you
Goin bout it wrong man
Strong mind is the best guide for a strong hand.

Cant let the glitter blind you
Stack it up in silence so the greedy never find you
Oh shit they comin from the bushes right behind you
Hands out, think i seen ya homie in the line too

Ridin like aladdin on them coat tails
Oh well you was gettin busy wit da show tell
Every other day another cousin hopin you well
Got the winnin ticket so they hittin up ya doorbell

Gotta put em on mute cuz the truth is they only see the tree for the fruit
They dont care about how long it took to strengthen all my roots
No, Never have i ever needed straps on my boots nigga

Fake friend WE NO HAVE DAT
but you find em where the rats at
They be wit the snakes where ya cats at
I really hope you catch that

And they really good at whistlin
Only problem is they got the wrong niggas listenin
Cost em the mission and lost em his vision
Cant see though the lies
Just the thought could be cripplin
Reason why adaptability my main man
Aquarius the sign but you wont catch me in no rain man
Strong enough to build and destroy with the same hands

We are not from the same land

Lil' WORD Bridgeport, Connecticut

Lil' WORD is existential thought in music form. I've always found it easier to make melancholic music with contrasting heavy bass and bright synth work giving it movement and life. I find describing my music very hard but my goal with my sound is to allow the listener a place to paint their own scene while traversing this life. Ill let the music speak for itself. Please enjoy with GOOD sound! ... more
