Truth Serum

I been counting scars more than wins lately Still I keep my

hands clean when the road gets shaky

Mama

said move

wise, don't let anger steer I was sixteen learning rent from a

late notice fear Friends changed coats when the cold got real Now

I read a room before I ever sign a deal Got a

little shine but the mirror still plain If I feed my pride

then my people feel pain I don't want a crown if it

cost me my soul

I just want the truth in the stories I told

If the money come,

let it not own me

If the praise gets loud,

let my heart stay low

I been chasing

peace more than trophies

That is the part that they don't know

More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words I made it through rain,

still caring who hurts They want chains on my neck,

I want chains off my mind I can touch a few stars

and still stand with my kind More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words

If I rise, I reach back first

I seen envy wear a smile in the front row

Seen love look broke but it never let go

Everybody posts wins, nobody posts doubt

Everybody wants in when the blessings pour out

I keep one foot where the cracked curb starts

So the kid I was can still speak to my heart

If I get too high,

pull me down by my name

I was built from the dirt,

not the frame

More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words I made it through rain,

still caring who hurts They want chains on my neck,

I want chains off my mind I can touch a few stars

and still stand with my kind More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words

If I rise, I reach back first

I pray my little cousin see a door I never saw I

pray my wins don't turn my mercy into law

All this bass in my chest,

still I listen for grace

All this noise around me,

still I look for a face

More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words I made it through rain,

still caring who hurts They want chains on my neck,

I want chains off my mind I can touch a few stars

and still stand with my kind More bass in the trunk,

more weight in the words

If I rise, I reach back first

If I rise, I reach back first More weight in the words

More love for the ones who carried me first
