You know that feeling when you lose someone close to you and it makes you appreciate everything else so much more? Is life a blessing or a curse? This one didn't make the cut for the mixtape I'm working on. 
Thank you to @lia_butler for the amazing vocals.

LYRICS:

*VERSE1*
I need to confess some things if the church will hear.
I was going some things it wasnt pretty. 
Stress in my shoulders it was very heavy. 
And it almost drove me to fift of Henny. 

They say they love are they with me?
I could spell it out but still they wouldn't get me.
And I looked for help but there was barely any. 
I would ring ring but they wouldn't hear me. 

Now I'm going off like a loaded semi. 
Or a broken levy. Nothing you can tell me.  
Get these wheels spinning like I'm Penny Penny. 
Gotta take my shot coz we don't get that many. 

And I lost my faith, oh lord please forgive me. 
Now I'm riding shot gun jesus with me. 
Got my armour on case these demons tempt me. 
Hallelujah tell me can you hear me!

*CHORUS*
//Once I get into my zone, watch me watch me switch it up, 
I've been gone for a minute now I'm back to pick it up, 
Ok ok this my song,  dj turn that record up/
I just love the way its hitting when
I'm twisted with my cup//

*VERSE2*
Sometimes t feels like I'm way too young. 
Rushing to be one of the greats to much. 
Missing my blessings coz I don;t pray enough. 
And really can't focus my thoughts stray too much. 

Had to ask myself some questions to help me to be a better man/
Instead of being jealous of niggas I'm clearly better than/ 
Thoughts would race like adrenaline, dealt with storms like the weatherman/ 
I was down at the bottom, was never planning on settling/

So please pardon all these sad boy raps/
I've been bobbing and weaving these bears claw traps/
Enemies claim to be friends, with their claws in you back/
Niggas for the birds, I been giving scarecrows daps/ 

Still miss people that I can't call on the phone/
I love them to death, but it's best that we just leave it alone/
I'm not the kid they used to know anymore now that I'm grown/
They probably don't get me its cool, I guess it's each to his own/

I'm sure this is how Esco was feeling when it was written/
I pray to let my thoughts all spill, Lord willing
Imma make a difference. And I out that on my life though/
Put my life into these bars so forgive me if I write slow/
I wear the flaws on my skin and I embrace every typo/

When all the city light blow, imma let my light show/
Niggas still got wack bars like bad tenants/
Its safe to say that I hear it, I just cant live with it.

*CHORUS*
//Once I get into my zone, watch me watch me switch it up, 
I've been gone for a minute now I'm back to pick it up, 
Ok ok this my song,  dj turn that record up/
I just love the way its hitting when
I'm twisted with my cup//

CHORUS:
That's not what I do
No matter what still keeping true
Got a lot to give, but got nothing to prove
I’m really good if you need me to choose
That's not what I do

VERSE 1:
Be my princess and I'll be Aladdin
give you game and get you flier than jasmine
Get your wrist feeling colder than Aspen
you don't have to bother with asking/

I contribute to your regular fashion
I give you some **** when you needing some passion
You can have anything you can imagine
You aint gotta entertain a distraction

You were with a bum and he was gassing
to be honest with you he was just lacking
I was watching, had to give a reaction
I was watching, couldn't help it was laughing

*DALI DANGER VERSE*

VERSE 3:
To be honest with you, I'm not really rushing for commitment
To be honest with you I can’t really ever see me simping 
To be honest with you, what I want and what you want is different
let keep it simple

To be honest, you were really the homie
And you want me loving you only
Don’t know what’s got you think you know me
Better yet, you could ever control me

You and I thought we had an agreement
All the feelings and love and the love I don’t need it 
All the stress and heartache I won't repeat it
I don’t see a need to keep it a secret

What you think this is?
Bet it’s not that. 
I can't give you what want
there's no love back. 

and this game of war
is build off contact
invest your feelings, you might get hurt
you better fall back

END CHORUS:
that's not what I do...
No matter what still keeping true
Got a lot to give, but got nothing to prove
I’m really good if you need me to choose, 
That's not what I do

LYRICS:

CHORUS:
Put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you're my sensation
I know I'm preachin' to the congregation
We ain't married, but tonight she need some confirmation

Everything I'm not made me everything I am
I know you see yourself with a ring up on your hand
But starting a relationship just wasn't in my plan
I can give you loving I just cannot be your man

VERSE 1:
Ey, what you want from me?
Ey, what more you want from me?
You want my head, leg, arm and a heart from me?
No relationship I said it from the start with me
Gave you the script, you meant to play your for me

What more could I do?
You just want to have your cake and to eat it too
Girl, you seem let imagination get away with you
To be 100, girl you're too comfortable

And I can't name a single thing that you don't have
Shoe game put a toe tag on their toe tags
Never touched a stove pad, Gucci on the coat rack,
What we have is perfect, I don't why you're so mad?

I was busy having fun, you were catching feelings
You were looking for the one, I was busy chilling
don't know what you really thought it was we were busy building
We could still be friends if you're willing
Put your hands to the ceiling

CHORUS:
Put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you're my sensation
I know I'm preachin' to the congregation
We ain't married, but tonight she need some confirmation

Everything I'm not made me everything I am
I know you see yourself with a ring up on your hand
But starting a relationship just wasn't in my plan
I can give you loving I just cannot be your man

VERSE 2:
Every time I think I got it right, somehow I got it wrong
Can't see it coming down my eyes so I put it in a song
Never meant to lead you on, please don't get me wrong
I don't get why you're switching, you were with it along

now you wanna be mad at this grown age
I shoulda known you tripping like some road age
Why you tryna force things when there’s no way 
girl we young and I’m moving at my own pace 

See I guard over my heart and who I let in
So I struggle to see the part where you fit
feel like those whole conversation is a dead end
And as soon as you leave another get in

I was busy having fun, you were catching feelings
You were looking for the one, I was busy chilling
don't know what you really thought it was we were busy building
We could still be friends if you're willing
Put your hands to the ceiling

CHORUS:
Put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you're my sensation
I know I'm preachin' to the congregation
We ain't married, but tonight she need some confirmation

Everything I'm not made me everything I am
I know you see yourself with a ring up on your hand
But starting a relationship just wasn't in my plan
I can give you loving I just cannot be your man
