These Things Happen Too

[00:05.06] Yeah
[00:07.32] I guess it's about that time
[00:11.41] You know?
[00:15.45] Dakari, just let it run
[00:19.62]
[00:21.64] Uh
[00:22.88] Party in a penthouse until I pass the fuck out
[00:25.75] Reminiscin' being broke and hopin' I would luck out
[00:28.49] Fast forward, that was then, I switched my perspective
[00:31.02] I was supposed to make it here, this wasn't luck, it was destined
[00:33.69] Why the fuck am I surprised? Will I ever feel I belong here?
[00:36.63] Spillin' my soul right now, the story gets long here
[00:39.38] We waitin' for this album to drop, it's been a long year
[00:42.15] Feel like it's been forever, the fuck has been going on here?
[00:45.03] Sex, plus drugs, plus rock 'n roll added
[00:47.67] That equation, mixed with success and raw talent
[00:50.07] They talk about me, think I went crazy, goddamnit
[00:52.45] Woo, I really went crazy, goddamnit
[00:55.86] Uh, pull the curtain, there's nothing left here to hide behind
[00:58.86] I come with baggage, I'm complicated, you know my sign
[01:01.65] Try fathomin' what happens inside my mind
[01:04.16] Intoxicated on substances, I've been tryna to find 'em
[01:07.12] Reason to change, I found reason to rage
[01:09.79] Play Jim Morrison, fuck it, people are strange
[01:12.13] Deal with it, on God, there's no keeping me in a cage
[01:14.85] They try to buy my soul, but it's not an even exchange
[01:17.74] I just had an epiphany, I'm top ten in this industry
[01:20.79] If you knew the end result, then what would you have done differently?
[01:23.53] My Jekyll and my Hyde look like anything here but symmetry
[01:26.12] But I ain't looking for nobody's sympathy
[01:28.74] This for the kids who buy tickets
[01:30.00] This for the fans of the music
[01:31.38] This for the kids who get some inspiration from me and use it
[01:34.17] This for myself, to jot this out is all therapeutic
[01:37.02] But I never lost myself, so don't you ever confuse it
[01:39.53] Readin' comments on my 'Gram, I'm like, "Damn, they really got at me"
[01:42.72] "What happened to the old G? This sucks, won't you come back, G?"
[01:45.41] "You said you'd never be that rapper, this shit is tacky"
[01:48.49] I make what I wanna make, but I won't make everyone happy
[01:51.01] My skin's thick, but I'm not bulletproof
[01:53.23] Try to numb myself like when you goin' to pull a tooth
[01:55.77] All I can do is be myself, go, and tell the truth
[01:58.65] I feel like I want my therapist when I'm in the booth
[02:01.32] Listen
[02:02.32] I'm in my own lane, so what do I have to hurry for?
[02:04.88] The Bay love me, they root for me like when Curry score
[02:07.69] I got it covered, relax, you ain't gotta worry more
[02:10.40] I turn the corner, made the block, now I've broken down 30's door
[02:13.24] Exes x me out, we ain't feeling the same
[02:15.86] One of 'em went on national TV, draggin' my name
[02:18.26] Wish you would have handled it, eh, uh
[02:20.29] I can't complain
[02:21.12] 'Cause you don't get to choose how people react to being in pain
[02:23.98] Yeah, fuck
[02:25.68] Lesson learned, we weren't the perfect match
[02:27.26] Future ref, not keeping personal and work attached
[02:29.83] We came a ways from going to juvie over purses snatched
[02:32.63] Bought moms a Birkin, we still only seen the surface scratched
[02:35.64] Wow
[02:36.87] Been tryna search and find the perfect high
[02:38.86] A young stoner from Berkeley High
[02:40.89] The person I, became is a little different
[02:43.38] Guess we work and try
[02:44.73] She kicked me out to get the bird to fly, yeah
[02:47.26] This the maturation of Gerry, yeah
[02:49.00] Been terrified of commitment, can't understand why it's scary
[02:51.37] The deeper that I get, this shit gets harder to say
[02:54.58] Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
[02:57.11] Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
[02:59.67] Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
[03:03.20] Yeah
[03:04.05] Look in a mirror, this is you
[03:05.74] No one ever told me, these things happen too
[03:08.35] Fuck
[03:11.58] Yeah
[03:11.77]
