Walking through a desert of loneliness looking for the oasis
I've working this grind on a fucking daily basis
Still my tree don't seem in a hurry to give me fruit
Something wrong with my motives or something wrong with the roots
Maybe it's the water that ain't really seeping through
Or the light ain't aligned right for me to see the truth
Anyway, wanna get my thoughts and visions straight
Cuz I gotta finish building myself before I start to create
They say the future awaits, but ain't no sense in pin the pedal to the metal if you ain't got no brakes
You steady chasing the green but dignity's at stake feel like the reason we still speaking is because there's still some shit to complain
About, inspiration's the rain in drought ain't no sense in walking in the heat so imma wait it out
I'm not even locked up tween these walls but look at the lines I'm carving
Locked myself in the kitchen still end up starving
Got my front my front porch all cleaned up now better tend to the garden
Life only works if you do to man but must it get harder
I've been shoveling dirt eating dust brother give me water
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
Lately I've lacking inspiration,
Lovely lady life leisurely testing my patience
Explored a lotta paths but feel like I lost my way since
What could I have done - with all the time I wasted
Done seen many faces many minds seem copied and pasted
Everybody now each other I ain't see no one acquainted
Lotta people act surprised facing the long awaited
Closing yo eyes to your problems don't make em fade away
It's an invitation, for them to take over your mind and cheat your expectations
Wordsmith weary of the world
At an age all I should care about is parties rap and girls
Think I know everything but in fact I know nothing
Meddle the old soul with the teen angst call me Benjamin
Running from everything be left with nothing
Never satisfied even though I should
So imma settle with the ok til I find something good
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
Lord give me water
Lord give love, love
