Essential Oils

My love

I know I be strong for you, my love

Gotta be strong for you, my love

But really I don't know what to do, my love

My love

I know I look strong to you, my love

Gotta be strong for you, my love

But I don't know what to do, my love

This beat feel like essential oils

Lavender aroma and vintage camera recorders

Replaying my life before this

Damn it we grew up spoiled

Aint get it out the mud but we grew it out of the soil

My self-care

Has lately been less-careful

Caught up in elsewhere

Less present, and more fearful

Being more cautious, y'all

'Cause when you slipping it get way too hard not to fall

Into the dark, that's where the demons and monsters are

Letting my light shine

Tune into Primetime

CNN talking bout how some Senator on one aisle

Been selling us white lies

A bill in the House died

The wrong and the right side

My niggas been outside

Fighting a long fight

I grew up in all-white, neighborhoods

And tried to fit in with all the white kids

With dogs and a white fence

Who lawns was the nicest

My moms had the block smelling like six different spices

I tried to act like them so that they wasn't aware of it

I even put a cross around my neck started wearing it

It worked till when my parents came around speaking Arabic

And there go my cover

There go me over-thinking again

Deep in my head

Leaving shit in the past is hard

Often I frequently bend backwards

To please everyone around me

But even my friends battle to deal with the stress

That's why they frequently twist backwoods

I'm peaking again, I'm free as the wind

Oils release while I sit, I breathe in the scent

I'm taking it in

'Cause often these moments don't stay for long till they leaving again

I'm back on my feet and I'm sprinting, running, I'm fiending to win

I'm running so my pops don't gotta worry bout feeding the fam

I'm running from anxiety, chasing me

Beat it again, 'cause I can't let society see me be weak as a man

I'm running on E but I'll never quit to sit back

Running away from all my past, it catch up I get lapped

I'll run until I get the bag, bet I still won't relax

My parents ran up out Sudan, running 'til they get back

My nigga ran away from life, running 'til I bring back

All of the moments that we had, that I'll never get back

Running until I make a change, run to make an impact

Running until the feelings last, running till I get back

Running until I

This beat feel like essential oils

This beat feel like essential oils

My love

I know I be strong for you, my love

Gotta be strong for you, my love

But I don't know what to do, my love

My love

I know I seem strong to you, my love

Gotta be strong for you, my love

But I don't know what to do, my love
