Safe - Travis Thompson

I know we’re double parking, generational bar-trips

Extra-loaded, praying my mama friends ain’t at the market

Never left yo' apartment, never cleaned up the carpet

There’s legacy in my system, right next to where truth and tar sit

Flick a wrist like guitar pick, eye-contact

On star-shit like

«This a moment, you gon' feel me, I’m a artist»

I fell asleep in the morning, afternoon holding hair up

I smoking 'til my lid’s frozen, there’s too much faith I’m aware of

And I, hold a bleak view like tall cans on long days

My mom hands on my name like, «See this

Come see what my seed did

But, most days, can’t reach him»

Ego know no bounds

In my own life, no defense

You really can’t afford what I breathe in

Born with the P-shift

Floor better force with the chore, tryna be friends

Toured every shore, got the course with the free trip

Told 'em I need more 'fore I’m whore for like three hits

Swore they could keep it

Trav' with the cheat sheet

Porch with the weed lit, and I don’t think straight

Bored tryna lead kids born in my season

Hans with the dreams, writing scores for a me-flick

I’m under too much pressure, from

Pocket-watching, often talking

People tryna measure where I fit inside they box

Should they count my future net worth?

And there’s parts of me that’s damaged

Ain’t nobody clean they mess up

What I meant was

Someone bless us (Bless us)

'Cause I can’t take it (I can’t take it)

Just make it let up, yeah

There’s a place in my head where I’m safe, in my head

I was safe in my nest, but I got these wings for a reason

There’s a place in my head where I’m safe, in my head

I was safe in my nest, but I got these wings for a reason

There’s a place in my head where I’m safe, in my head

I was safe in my nest, but I got these wings for a reason
