ballroom commercial

yeah

I’M BACK AND BETTER THAN TOMORROW.
same pain keep me locked in, envelope FORWARD
they say, “THE PRESENT all we got”, she in a race to tie the knot
eventually she’ll realize that this ain’t that party
tamper with her heartstrings, guitarist
bae, i’m paparazzi’s most wanted target
big shot, any task minor
SKATE 25/8 STRAIGHT, no break, you could
you could call that boy a grinder
do it again like britney
check mirror, my dental in MINT CONDITION
mental siftin’, count on cardiac system to accurately explain EXPERIENCES
secretly hoping LOVED ones don’t pay attention
swim too deep between the lines, then you’ll recognize my eyes send a different message
than the smile that i portray on camera
food for thought don’t need no answers, my side bitch call me dramatic
would text her a paragraph, but that would prove her point, no axis
“SHAWNY, you went hollywood”, i swear i’m stickin’ to my BALANCE
newlywed to the game, challenges on every level
might dodge a couple stupid questions, don’t mean to be disrespectful
MOTHERFUCK YO’ OPINION.
I’M A STAR with the sunroof missin’, if you miss the definition, it’s okay, JUST RESTART IT.
shuttin’ down my cellular device, each line bombarded
the state of mind i’m in, honestly don’t know what to call it
feelin’ like THE BEST ALIVE, simultaneously not shit
DREAM in overdrive, ain’t exhausted
flaunt my flaws in camouflage, the flower flawless
blizzard blossom with my cherries at the bottom
excavate and illustrate my friday nights, i really tater-tot ‘em
no look pass to GLACIER, i’ll make that potato hotter
YEAR I WAS BORN, MAKESA KNEW THE BALL AIN’T EVER DROPPIN’
resolution: “KEEP DOIN’ ME”, face carved in a MOUNTAIN
pikachu, i got ‘em
spicier than pumpkins
first to boo and last to catch it if i’m ever fallin’
jealousy a sickness, i prescribe antibiotics
crashed my ex’s wedding just so she could say that there were some real niggas at the party
i don’t do this for me.
bragging rights written in stone, when i go, my tomb’ll be dazzled with DIAMONDS
pen a hit inside the rolls, only time you’ll ever catch me accepting help from a ghostwriter
phone number nine-eleven, way i’m fightin’ the fire
she want a ring, i play too much and my jersey ain’t retired
impossible to keep a secret, I’M THE ONE THEY ADMIRE
THAT VENUE PACKED OUT IF MY NAME ON THE FLYER.
tickets movin’ at the speed of hot cakes, make a wish the link ain’t froze when you try it
ERROR 101: THEY TESTED SHAWN LIKE HE AIN’T ANOINTED AND APPOINTED
my paintbrush will outdo your favorite hairstylist
how long can i stay in my shell ’til my hand is forced to teach ‘em not to fuck with the tortoise?
history repeats itself, i tripped again, and my voyage was CLAIRVOYANT
proven innocent, they wish my head sunk under the water
i’m on defense no matter side of the quarter
official as i am, still won’t ever call her
too busy poppin’ my shit and complimentin’ culinary course as an ARTIST, I PROMISE

REFRESH

tryna say everything gon’ get me in trouble
bein’ THE BEST objective of life, bury me with DIAMOND straws, purple shovel, yeah
(yeah)
look

FIRST OFF, I’M TOO HONEST.
second, I DO THIS 4 MAKESA, STARLIGHT, AND FLORISSANA.
twenty-one years below fahrenheit, unimpressed by fabricated drama
only took one to become THE GREATEST ARTIST
always come back around
bitch, quit frontin’, you ain’t never love this SHAWN shit
this ICY shit, that GLACIER shit
new bitches enamored, and all my exes miss, oh yeah
PRINCESS KISS, oh yeah
DIAMONDS HIT, oh yeah
somehow still come back to the conclusion: “fuck all this”
i could count less zebra stripes than all the reasons why my HEART is guarded
certain shit you shouldn’t show on TV
traumatize the minds, lost all of mine, THAT’S HOW I BROKE FREE
and it don’t cost a dime to keep it real, seen TRUEST LOVE exchanging pennies
blind you to the fact my notepad could get me charged with life in HEAVEN
listen for a second
BORN FLAWLESS, leavin’ all my imperfections uncorrected
I REFUSE TO BE ANOTHER NUMBER NUMBED BY THE SYSTEM.
way too sensitive, already tellin’ my next girl i miss her
fortunate for me, there’s no one of this breed, so she gon’ stick up
pause, stick around, they only do that for the picture
ME, MYSELF, AND GOD, I REALLY ONLY GOT THREE NIGGAS
pre-sportin’ SAINT laurent garments, i been spittin’ straight SCRIPTURE
tongue is telling, first conversation, hear yo’ ass slither
she like, “SHAWN, all you do is make hits, i miss kissin’”
OVERDRIVE. correct karma. family tree. you don’t get it.
stuck my hand out for high-fives, they slapped my face, fuck yo’ credit
last thing i need sympathy, bitches sweat me, this shit stressful
everyone cope differently; some break themselves. I BREAK RECORDS.
i lost so much empathy for all girls in DECEMBER
what a crazy statement, WELCOMED TO THIS WORLD BY MAKESA
same woman taught me via actions, never settle
flip the kettle, head over water under PRESSURE
now it’s all these DIAMONDS blinkin’ in her necklace, people starin’
tryin’ not to say too much before i’m just another black man shot down for tryna send a message
finally get to post up WITH AUNT CHIFWESA IN HEAVEN
dream of my own demise, it’s sickening
sometimes i wanna cry, make dividends
wouldn’t marry that bitch, no way, promiscuous
DIAMONDS SPARKLE, fourth of july, i’m on CHRISTMAS shit
YOU, YOU, AND YOU GET A GIFT
day party, guest residence
hole-in-one go to blueprint, click my fingers, i don’t exist

never reach my potential, let you decide
why i’m rarely around when it’s dinner time

i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR

lotta shit i do to stay in the CLEAR
work my ass off where nobody can hear
selfless, definition of selfish, can’t swim around it, my dear
lights around me, my head on a swivel
i pivot and plié, you off by a lot, not a little
relate more if i played it simple
push the envelope, PEACE sign, tongue in the middle
VVS’s dancin’ on my ring finger, bitches still ask if i’m single
one trade of thoughts, bet i could make her tingle, still goin’ in on domingo
GLAD I MADE IT HOME SAFE. every song is a dinger, only way out through the ringer
HAPPIER EVERY DAY, what i catch in the MIRROR
‘bout time we seein’ it CLEARER

i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR

CLARITY, CLARITY
i don’t know a young nigga as RARE as me
visualize LOVE and lust in her eyes when she stare at me, my body became a balance beam
CLARITY, CLARITY
AWARENESS my favorite accessory
takin’ notes, hit the lotto, got every key
livin’ large, most impressed by the little things

i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
i’m just tryna stay in the CLEAR
just tryna stay inside the CLEAR

CLARITY, CLARITY
treat chanel like it’s charity, bare with me
CLARITY, CLARITY
really dashed through the snow like it’s christmas eve
CLARITY, CLARITY
THANK THE HEAVENS, each MOMENT a memory
(CLARITY, CLARITY)
(TAKE CARE of yourself, i took care of me.)

clear as night

my primary example of LOVE is separation.
so if i ever verbalize my needs, TIME AND PATIENCE
take into account expense i had to say it
changed the playing field, i only owe myself the explanation
and, offensive how i PRAY most people take it.
defensive by default, i let no one in.
second guess yo’ gestures towards me, i’m always more than a couple steps ahead
advantage taken, token generous
yeah, i’m a walking lick, but try it, bet you get a taste of your own medicine
rarely ever invited places
pointed out by my mistakes and willingness to plate discomfort at the dinner table
people rather pin they problems anywhere but self, simple equation.
meanwhile sheddin’ LIGHT ON HEAVENLY REVELATIONS
tears that once fell from my face the same ticket i received to see HIGHER PLACES
sorry, you couldn’t make it
when i was up at ungodly hours deliverin’ to make the rent, i ain’t hear no one PRAYIN’.
all i know is if one dared to put his little brother in harm’s way, B would go super saiyan with no hesitation
R.I.P. MICHELE, YOU REALLY RAISED THE GREATEST
NEVER SEE THE PROPER OPPORTUNITY REPAY YOU, SO I’LL SETTLE FOR TAKIN’ OVER THE WORLD USIN’ IMAGINATION
I’M A STAR, still every day, i fear i’ll waste my life away makin’ the right mistakes
and nowadays, that’s fine with me.
over the course of time, the stakes been raisin’
I ROSE UP EVERY OCCASION, eliminatin’ debates about any naysayer
fucked the world up the way i’m trojan horsin’ medicine
knockin’ at your door providin’ laughter, WE SO HEAVEN SENT
SIXTH GRADE, COOKIES IN THE COLD, i got KOBE, LISA, RILEY as my witnesses
man, since then, we been through some shit
surely and slowly SHINE our way out of it
LIGHT A BRIDGE TO HEAVEN, ASK THE LORD, “may i please speak with HEIDI DAEHLIN? just a little bit?”
THANKFUL FOR HER SPIRIT, AND I GOT HER KIDS.
JOSIAH championed me and kept the FAITH, while everyone was treatin’ me as if i don’t exist
PEACE to those reactions, i hope y’all were happy settlin’
front row seats, SELECT FEW backstage
after all, i guess this what we get
i might cry sometimes, at least I LOVE MY LIFE, and the source of my tears are CELEBRATE
spend my wednesday hittin’ home runs, “GLACIER, how you pull the flame out with no oven mitt?”
noticin’ these bad bitches got pep in they step soon as they see the kid
MAKESA raised me so self-sufficient, i gave up eatin’ it
V.I.P. meet and greets, otherwise, i’m on my vegan shit
and TBH, right now, i’m not takin’ the kindest to apologies or compliments.
yeah.

BINO, it was right here, right by the window
i’m sitting here, IT’S THERE
okay, and, and
I, I OPEN THIS DOOR
‘cause, oh, you can’t take a good picture of it
the picture does not, it does not tell the-, you know
the picture comes, i’ll send you a picture
it comes like a little, little thing
it doesn’t, you know, uh, DETAIL it
um
then i’m like, “OH MY GOD, lemme go check out with the binoculars”
i go, do you know?
BINO, THE MOON MOVES
when you’re sitting here and you’re looking at it, it’s in one place
on a binoculars, IT’S MOVING
IT’S MOVING
IT MOVES
but when you’re so far away and looking at it, you don’t see that IT’S MOVING
