I don’t know what it is about me
It always is
What did I just say? 
The great color of raw cabbage
Write that down
and then write down two years
and even if we aren’t talking in two years
look at that message
and then text me. 
Two months pregnant 
yeah two years i see myself two months pregnant 
cuz I see it 
the perfect man who offers me that situation

a statuesque lady
came to me lately
she told me i was pasty
and that i’d never make it ❤

thought that love was sacred
but forgot to bake it
never took the station
o was that my train? shit

what’s your situation?
something bout the nation
is crazy making gang hits 
makin us complacent

think it’s time to face it
let’s meet in the basement 
have the operation 
on united snakes yeah

wait is u an agent 
or is this just a face lift?
i could not be hasty
with my liberation 

sometimes it gets spacey 
when u meditate see
how is that okay g?
idk i’m blame-free
