The Cooldown

Let me start by saying
This won’t be your typical shit
Bunch of bars about money
And the bitches I hit
Foreign cars and drug talk
Bout flipping them bricks
No A-K’s and Glock 9’s
Just real lines bout real shit
And if it ain’t for you that’s cool, press skip
But if you feel it is that’s great, tap in
I write Lyrics that make you feel shit only
No need for murder talk
But watch me kill this homie
Cause this that summertime vibe flow
Shades on drink poured
Cruising with the windows rolled down
Or your top low
Wood grain grippin’
Switching lanes sippin’
They don’t know my name yet
But the history written
So for now I’m just a superstar
Waiting his turn
And the ones that chose to sleep on me
Yeah they gon’ learn
But by then it’ll be too late
For them to try to go earn
My respect my acknowledgments
And the things that I’ve learned
Cause by then I’ll be done playing the nice guy
Being real with niggas who true intentions
Are sidelined
Holding doors for women
Buy flowers before I wine dine
Acting like she mine
When really it’s only my time
And I can’t lie
Partly true story
Thought I found love before
But came up short
When I was in it skies the limit
Love corrupted me slowly
Thought she was sent from heaven
But a devil in angels clothing, damn

Had to wear that L on my back like a Lettermen
Then decide to be a savage
Or a better man
Keep mama‘s teachings and be keep on being
A gentlemen
Or be a typical nigga like every other man
Telling girls I love them
Just to get them under the covers
Treat her she’s special like the Mona Lisa
But do the opposite and lease her moan
Get what I want and sent her ass back home
But that’s that shit that I didn't want to be on
See I rather turn somebody’s daughter to a Mrs.
Then turn somebody’s daughter to a mistress
And lose the chance on having something real and miss it
Society would called me weak
But shit a nigga dare to be different
And I know that’s not the case for me
Im just in my own lane
Moving gracefully
In competition with myself
I fear complacency
Dont try to run my race
Cause u wont even place with me
Let alone pace wit me

So even if you disagree or beg to differ
I’m only tell you once I am that nigga
And that’s not cockiness that’s confidence
I had to build it
I use to be the shy kid who hid feelings
Now I walk through like I’m Batman
On a dark knight and riddle these jokers
Ain’t Mr Freeze
But I can stop a girl cold in her track
And leave the cat of that woman soaking

Cause all I ever had to do was just believe in me
Put the negativity aside and trust my dreams
It takes time to reach greatness
Focus and patience
I feel it in my soul
That as my story unfolds
I know I that I can make it down this road
But really only God knows

Yeah I know this is a sensitive topic
But telling me I can’t make it it’s like
NASA without rockets
Vacation without the tropics
Stocks without the profits
It just don’t make sense
So choose carefully how you want to treat others
That ain’t no joke
Words can’t fix what your actions already broke
It be the ones who sleep on you
Always claiming they woke
Then see your worth
And say It was all just a joke
But I ain’t playing with you
Only want the real ones around me
Or I ain’t staying with you, yeah
Being genuine is too extra
There’s something plan about you
So take a second and see
What that saying about you
I wish I had a summertime vibe 365 but don’t start till 172
So when it’s all said and done
Only thing left to do now
Is enjoy the cool down
Its Mari
