i'm not one to talk
cause thinking straight's been getting me into a knot
i stay quiet while we walk
plus the way y'all talk
i'm fine listening,
so much thinking, so much thought
you're kind like wind is cold
piercing through my heart
no matter how i'm guarded
then i yawn
let that single tear run down my face
look around
and wait
there used to be a map
that laid before me,
but now all i see is black
no points of interest to hit on my winding path
my dad's beside me saying, "what's so wrong with that?"
christ this wind is cold
i think that i'm so smart
how much have i discarded?
so now i'm lost
i wandered around harlem in the dark
my brain's gotta get closer to my heart
