1000 Mistakes
Things take time
Rest in peace to all of those we lost along the way
They’re going straight up to God I’m going to Charlemagne
A girl friend of mine just recently passed away
So if I fail once then I just have to start again
I’m Musa with the Red Sea because we parted ways
And now I’m separated from my lady marmalade
It’s all business, no play so it didn’t work
I didn’t party with her, I’m kind of an introvert
I take apart the beat and create a masterpiece
That’s beyond belief I am far past elite
I feel like I’m supreme, a young OG who’s living in a time machine
And cash rules everything it make sour cream
The mother city is the kingdom where I found the queen like a sunflower seed
And plus she had a wedding gown on still ghetto
So I call her Lotus River Flower Bomb
I bear my soul on these verses but still keep the crown on
And to call myself a king it just really sounds wrong
I wrote this song in the early hours
Our women don’t like that there’s a lot of girls around us
A lot of fish and now they all wanna hang on the rod
It sounds odd when I tell her it’s part of the job
Messages from other kinnes, she found a klomp
I try to justify it but it just sounded dom
Swipe left laanie mode activated
I know what I’m worth and I don’t need to validate it
Hustle money, cash payments for the tax evasion
My rap accent has the masses fascinated
And if you’ve been broke then you’ll know how to relate
And that’s the reason why the people keep shouting my name
My brain looking like all the clouds in the vape
As I tally up a list of my thousand mistakes
And I don’t always know the right things to say
And I’m supposed to be a wordsmith
Some role model I am
I’m sorry that I’m not perfect
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes
So many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
Yeah
How do I begin this story, tea and koeksisters on a Sunday morning?
I think your welcome has been overstayed
The love is gone but it took long to go away
She loves-me-not, I’m pulling petals off the whole bouquet
I’m in the ocean but it’s feeling like it’s Novacane
This was a verse that I just wrote today
The shit that you consider dope is what I throw away
Sellotaping pieces of my lyrics to a broken page
But now I shred it and watch the pieces blow away
You’re taking my identity to make it yours
But I am the original: I’m Jason Bourne
I am so grateful for the blessings Lord
But forgiveness is the only thing I’m begging for (kanala)
I keep the scale, doing balancing acts
Cause if you hear me rap then you’ll get a panic attack
You’re making loans and you’re breaking codes
You’re playing with my empire like it’s the Game of Thrones
Fuck your day job I’m a work of art
Me and your favourite rappers are worlds apart
I turned around and saw a trail of broken hearts
I’m building something bigger than myself or Noah’s Ark
A crazy genie, it’s young Napoleon Bonaparte
I’m underrated, so I overcharge
And I don’t always know the right things to say
And I’m supposed to be a wordsmith
Some role model I am
I’m sorry that I’m not perfect
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes,
So many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
I make so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes, so many mistakes yeah
You see
You think in certain ways and always come back to it
If you not happy then you must make a move
But first make research, don’t just rush
Cause you can make a mistake, don't just rush
Make research and find out
Cause sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side
As so many what many people think
It’s not always greener on the other side
Sometimes you’re lucky
It’s way too late now
And I’m having trouble sleeping
I don’t know what I’m doing
So I’ma let the times sing a lullaby
It’s way too late now
And I’m having trouble sleeping
I don’t know what I’m doing
So I’ma let the times sing a lullaby
We were the ones who would not survive
We had it all and wasted our lives
We have the keys to the future in our pockets all the time
And our minds were taken from us now
We’re human, We’re reckless
Don't feel love for no one and I don’t
See love, the real love,
The real love, but its real like this before
And I’m having trouble sleeping
I don’t know what I’m doing
So I’ma let the times sing a lullaby
It’s way too late now
And I’m having trouble sleeping
I don’t know what I’m doing
I’ma let the times sing a lullaby
It’s way too late now
And I'm having trouble sleeping
I don't know what I'm doing
I'ma let the times sing a lullaby
It's too late
