This Is The Way

Welcome to the Aquarius three program

Captains log Thomas Quinten (Uh, yeah)

I've been thinking

About purpose what it means (Uh, uh, yeah)

I used to think goals were a form of purpose

I used to think achieving them is what lead you to happiness

And now I'm starting to realize the happiest I've been

Even though its hard

Was actually the journey of achieving those goals

Aight we finna get it like this on this bitch one time

6ix I see you in the control room

9ine

Gettin' down sippin' brown almost evert night

Thinkin' if I go pop then I can get right

I went pop and then I got left

Listenin' to demon days I ain't got nothin left

Memories at 15 I'm cooking like I'm a chef

Open mic in December chiefin' reefer now peep the breath

Rhymin' with crack dealers first time in the studio

And I'm hopin' that they feel this

Spittin' 15 minutes up on the track

No hook just bars and that's that

Chillin' with my homie Josh you know he got the gat

Finna rob a couple cats that robbed him a couple days back

We all black

Yeah we rob 'em in all black

I ain't even fuck 'em bitch don't wanna die now picture that

I'd rather rap I'd rather illustrate iller than any of 'em

Master of ceremony nah nah ain't many of 'em

I supply that shit that they cookin' over them ovens

Never had one no love me

Never had no one love me

Dad learned how to love me

I had to learn how to love me

Used to put demons above me never that nowadays

I got it I got it I got it

I'm sittin' sideways

Get it right (Get it right)

I'm tryna get it right (Get it right)

Don't overthink it right

Don't overthink it just do it homie

You been right

You know you been right

You always had the sight

You always had it you had the vision to make it right

Tryna get it right

Don't overthink it right

Don't overthink it just do it homie

You been right

You know you've been right

You always had the sight

You always had it you had the vision (Aye)

To make it right

Never go against your intuition

You can learn more from the streets

Then you did from your whole tuition

No I ain't no optometrist but I had the vision

To separate myself from my own division

I studied rap like it was my religion

My lyricism on the track is the illest collision

You know i entered the game like a surgery incision

That's precise

Yeah that boy nice

Put a bullet in my head if I ain't had this vice

Prolly take my life

If I couldn't ask the page for advice

Wouldn't it be nice

Wouldn't it be nice

If I didn't have to worry

In the middle of the night (So so)

This the reason that I write (So)

Wish I had more ink on this page

Rip up the page

Shit was easier back in the day

Just rappin' with FaZe

Nowadays cats take shots

But they never even graze (Graze)

This is the way (The way)

Uh

Rappin' 'til I'm in the grave

Have fun get paid

Do the album 'boutta slave

But it's really not a slave

It's 'bout how I've been a slave

To the label to the industry

I've made no enemies but somehow I still got enemies

Ayo

Tryin' dumb shit just to stay relevant instead of my intuition

At least I used to be

Nowadays I'm used to me

Was scared to reflect

And now I reflect and find correction

And rather less than more like acceptance

Don't overthink (Uh)

Don't overthink

When I do I overdrink

You know I overdrink

My favorite rapper just sent me his unreleased album (Album)

In the cut no camera I wonder what the outcome

Pushin' keys like a piano (Piano)

Talkin' vocally of course (Vocally of course)

I'll murder you all with no remorse (All with no remorse)

Get it right (Get it right)

I'm tryna get it right (Get it right)

Don't overthink it right

Don't overthink it just do it homie

You been right

You know you've been right

You always had the sight

You always had it you had the vision

To make it right

Tryna get it right

Don't overthink it right

Don't overthink it just do it homie

You been right

You know you've been right

You always had the sight

You always had it you had the vision

To make it right

In the emptiness I felt after having achieved them

Was just based on me equating my value to the end product

Rather then the process of

Being
