LYRICS:
Jaded,
Today I’m feeling Jaded,
Jaded,
This year my love language is affirmations and cheques,
My presence in the room got them agitated and stressed,
The devil don’t advocate for the blessed,
Praying on precious metals and plaques for now I came with the gems,
Guided by my heart so I navigate with my chest,
I don’t like machinery calibrating my steps,
They’re too busy playing whose accolades are the best,
I can’t share my views with a man that came to project,
Righteous heart or a wiser mind,
How’m I so accustomed to the dark but I ain’t tryna hide,
Questions I’m in need of some answers to when you find the time,
And patience ain’t a virtue I love but it make for finer wine,
My pen swayeth side to side,
Life can really draw you out,
But the most beautiful things are by design,
I’ll admit I do think about it from time to time,
I just hope future me can decipher signs,
Convos with a deeper tone,
It’s probably easier if we speak alone,
But I can get to comfortable,
Even when I’m told that I should feel at home,
Scary events,
I’ve seen wear people go,
Just to be accepted,
So now we keep it need to know,
Born with this crown on my head,
But they can keep the throne,
I been sitting pretty since,
Tia and Tamera had a TV show,
Now I got sisters that wanna see me grow,
Haunted by the doubt but the frequency help me see the ghosts,
Pain in me pain in me,
I can’t let it play with me,
Living in my head I let it stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
You can see the change in me,
Look me in my eye I ain’t the same niggy,
Stroke my head and pour the ray for me,
Dunno what more they can say to me,
‘Less it’s bout a money conversation,
Today I’m feeling jaded
Yeah,
Jaded,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Jaded
Jaded,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Jaded,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Jaded
Jaded,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Next year my love language is affirmations and cheques,
Power of the tongue so I had to say it again,
Grew up playing ball watching anime with my friends,
Soon it’s flights to Japan so then man can pay me in yen,
I cannot waver my pen,
It protect me from the darkness,
I feel it gravitating again,
Grabbing me by the neck,
Scratching and biting flesh,
That demon keep you comfortably trapped inside of your bed uh,
Falling into chaos you cannot try to prevent,
Coz you just cannot find the strength,
But I’m here for you,
Coz I been there,
It’s a deep hole,
You can sleep there,
I was down bad,
I had no p’s,
Shut my friends out like they weren’t my homies,
Felt faceless you wouldn’t wanna know me,
Bruddah it’s a cold place,
Swear it nearly froze me,
Pain in me pain in me,
I can’t let it play with me,
Living in my head I let it stay with me,
Stay with me, stay with me,
You can see the change in me,
Look me in my eye I ain’t the same niggy,
Stroke my head and pour the ray for me,
Dunno what more they can say to me,
‘Less it’s bout a money conversation,
Today I’m feeling jaded
Yeah,
Jaded,
If it ain’t about my paso’s and pound notes,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Eeeyeah,
Dollar bills,
Forms of my weight in gold,
Then I don’t wanna know coz,
Today I’m feeling jaded,
Verse 3
Standing in the mirror looking dead in my eyes,
Competitions with a person that I don’t recognise,
I was grinding everyday like the pay was my prize,
Till he told me making art was like saving a life,
They said your healing their hearts,
All while I face my demise,
Was it a necessary break of gently wasting my time,
I toke my zoot on the left,
Light my sage on the right,
Would turn the volume down,
But you know what the neighbours are like,
