Usain (Live for the 2024 Tiny Desk Contest)

Used to hit my line like Usain with the finish tho
When the risk stop being reciprocal
Click click take a picture photo finish don’t get
Caught up in the fiction guarantee it’s cyclical
Telling stories to your friends
Tryna love you but it’s difficult
What’s with all the vitriol
Painting me as villainous
I knew what was happening
Pretended like I didn’t know
Depressed people be the best liars
That was toxic now I won’t let nothing stop me

You used to hit my line like Usain with the finish tho
Tryna love you but it’s difficult, look
When the risk stop being reciprocal? We used to hit the

Used to
Now I’m empty numb I don’t feel nun I just feel used up, ey
You suck
Asked do you love me…

We used to click like cicadas
Mad at me all offa what she heard off of a cadence
I ain’t even say nun
Rapp snitch knishes
Plead the V can I vent I ain’t waan date her
That was a vendetta
She thought she Zendaya
Couldn’t’ve been deader
To me Imma do me no matter what is the status
Forget them nights I stayed up
Leaving me on read bull
Everybody told me cut it guess I’m just a rebel
Might hit that there like one time for the reparations
This that I’m a whole new wave it’s cut your preparations
You just gotta trust me
She ain’t got the patience
She just got her walls up
I hit that just like…

Like you used to hit my line like Usain with the finish tho

Asked do you love me look me right back in my face and you shrugged
When did it all go away what happened to us?

Yusei
Wipe the stardust out my eyes now
I’m done with what you say
You trash you junk you
Effluvium
Back then we flew via delta
Patreon just flew me out
She tried stifle all my talent
I wasn’t to be determined by you
Who couldn’t tell a hawk from a handsaw
Used to hock a loogie on
All my dreams
But now I’m up and you is-
Doing some I guess
Good for ya
But even when my stuff didn’t sell
I’d still always kick like Dumfries huh

Always seen the world was mine I manifested as a child
Tried to take my time it manifested as a while
She tried to hold me down it manifested a smile
And I tried to tell how I felt it manifested as a wow
I mean it's wild
Manifested as goodbye
Man that festered for so long
Ain’t no wonder I’m feeling spite
Ain’t no wonder I’m finna snap
Ain’t no wonder you finna see
Ain’t no wonder I’m finna rap
Ain’t no wonder I’m finna be
Exactly what I put on wax
Imma move at my own speed
Ain’t no wonder I stand on that
Everything good comes from the facts
Ain’t no wonder we face the truth
Ain’t no wonder we left the past but
Can you ever
Cuz seeing you it comes back
