Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Yeah, yeah-yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, it's N-Y-O-T-A Yeah [Chorus] Why I never see you on your own road? Why is it when I see you, there's no growth? Why you never focus on your own soul? Why dig for treasure when you're your own gold? You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself [Verse 1] Keep your eyes somewhere they can focus Keep that fire burning where no hope is Keep your rizla, I already smokеd this game ain't never waitеd for the rotation 'Cause I keep it flying like the lotus You can keep on swarming like a locust 'Cause you're always aiming for the lowest range No, your effort doesn't go unnoticed Been up since 2 a.m., I almost broke my back Writing raps and every line I scratch Laid awake thinkin' I wasn't good enough for plaques All I ever needed to do was fall back And shout out to Oshun And when goons launch attack Well, honey, I got news and some rules to unpack You already look like sheep and some mules when you're ruled by the school Your molecules only molded to that [Chorus] Why I never see you on your own road? Why is it when I see you, there's no growth? Why you never focus on your own soul? Why dig for treasure when you're your own gold? You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself Why I never see you on your own road? Why is it when I see you, there's no growth? Why you never focus on your own soul? Why dig for treasure when you're your own gold? You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself Yeah [Verse 2] I know where she's from, I know where she's at I don't know where she's going, but I know she's coming back Tried to heal through it and align with amethyst Tried to wear it on my neck to show that l'm not sweating it Nag champa wasn't gonna help her Just like intoxication only made her words slur And just like us, she needs that self-love And just like her, we need to not judge We need to not smudge up reality Or benefit from systems built against our unity Or get strength from what's crippling our community They make us feel special singling out impunity Yet, our immunity comes from all our scrutiny Lookin' through the peepholes to the rich man's soul They try tell you how to the top they rose Convincing you that's the only way that it goes But they don't know your roots, just like a rose They don't want you to even come close to any of your goals That goes against the flow Or the tides of society No wonder all of our people got anxiety Nobody wants our sobriety To them, it's frightening They don't want you to believe this They stay rockin' you to sleep It's called a dream 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it [Chorus] Why I never see you on your own road? Why is it when I see you, there's no growth? Why you never focus on your own soul? Why dig for treasure when you're your own gold? You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself Why I never see you on your own road? Why is it when I see you, there's no growth? Why you never focus on your own soul? Why dig for treasure when you're your own gold? You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself You know that you always gotta pace yourself, pace yourself, pace yourself Yeah
