[intro : Cherele] I washed ashore I walked along the shore I seen you [Verse 1 : Cherele] I'm a walking contradiction Good diction mixed with addiction Hope you talk less than you listen Can you tell I've been keeping my distance? Grandad's for my favorite fixing, of that fish and grits and He was selling coke and pimpin' since I was in diapers pissin' Can't you fucking tell the difference? My deliverance is without a hinderance Walking through life trying to leave an imprint in an instant View the World from an infant's point of view Only ride for those who ride for you, well ain't that something true? See the ride or die they glorify has exceptions to the rule I'm from a small town where there ain't really much to do And everybody seems to be a cousin to a nigga who will pack a tool That go BAH BAH BAH you see we've grown accustomed to that violence That silence, when everybody quits on wylin' I'm tip-toein through the lion's den trying to find Zion On an island by myself, castaway I'm world's apart Used to be scared of the dark and now I spark these tranquil thoughts, I got it An owner, man I'm such a social loner Cut back on that marijuana, I'm just tryna get growner Don't you know uh?

But one lesson that I learned? Timing's everything [Bridge: Cherele] Timing's everything (repeat x7) [outro: Cherele] Well, at least we have the rest of our lives to figure it out
