Contemplation - Solace

It starts with a picture, and it sits in your frame

We part with a letter and it ends in my name

And it starts with forever, and it ends with a touch

And I know that you’re clever, and I don’t ask for much

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together

My name is Omar, don’t wanna say much

I been living inside a nightmare, wake up

I want to leave right now to a better home

Or better yet I can disappear and be left alone

Look at me, I was never good at speaking

Never good at math, I was never good at breathing

Never bold and I know I’m always awkward

A little nervous and I’m bettin' that it got worse

Grade 7, man I wanted to write

But I was living in a dream, never rockin' a mic

So I practiced, every single time that I walked home

Thinking of a rhyme in my mind that I thought dope

Posting it online in my free time

Because I design every line with a key rhyme

You can call me out like a bitch now

But my heart is on my sleeve, I’m not gonna sit down

No, I’m gonna sit down

Heart is on my sleeve and I’m not gonna sit down

No, I’m gonna sit down

Heart is on my sleeve and I’m not gonna sit down

It starts with a picture, and it sits in your frame

We part with a letter and it ends in my name

And it starts with forever, and it ends with a touch

And I know that you’re clever, and I don’t ask for much

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together

My name is Omar, don’t wanna say much

I been living inside of a world that is made up

But I’ve got to say

That every feeling in my soul has been locked away, I’m not the same

I wasted every year in my high school

Fuck everybody else, I think about my life too

I get a lot of hate like I’m so wack

Everybody talking mad shit but they don’t rap

Now I’m in a block, and I can’t even think straight

How can I finish up a mixtape this way?

No joke, I can’t even write now

And right now I am looking for the right sound

And you’re not gonna see it

When I take off, cause I’m gone and I’m leaving

Who knew that a joke could rap

Now I’ll spit in your face and I won’t look back

No, I won’t look back

Now I’ll spit in your face and I won’t look back

No, I won’t look back

Now I’ll spit in your face and I won’t look back

It starts with a picture, and it sits in your frame

We part with a letter and it ends in my name

And it starts with forever, and it ends with a touch

And I know that you’re clever, and I don’t ask for much

Maybe we forgot all the things we are, we are together
