The Sunrise Session Songer

Beat 1
[Intro]
Yes yes, the sunrise session
I apologise for starting deep but I'm not gonna finish with it
Yeah

[Verse]
I wish I could pretend that all my mental state is perfect, but it's not
How can I give you everything I've got if I've been struggling myself?
Since I dropped an album, rarely struggle with my wealth
But if my bredrin's got some bad news, I'm hugging him myself
Anxiety is rarely black and white, it's on a scale
Sometimes I wanna help a guy, sometimes I want help
Sometimes I feel invincible, sometimes I crave health
My mood's light and dark like there's shit I wanna sell
Grab a belt, 'cause I know you and you wanna fill your jeans man, I can tell
But you can't raise a man like I've been banging K Michelle
But the problem is her music make me miss my baby girl, listen
Sometimes man, I just need to breathe and zone out to Alicia Keys
I'm influencing dreams 'cause I'm a piece of cheese
Merchandise is easy Ps but money ain't the motive if I'm seeking peace
That needs to change like selling DVDs, listen
The opposite of Twitter's probably peace of mind
The way you're acting on your own, should hope the trees are blind
And if they weren't then I'm sure they'd give you evil eyes
Sniff cocaine off a holy book, you man should read between the lines
Living in a dream won't make your dreams align
I'm hypocritical but still I see the signs
I dream of reaching heights where I don't need to make my weakness hide
Too many racists in this country but my Gs are mine
I promise I won't sleep this time
Love you and your culture but never leaving mine
My family and arms up in my sleeves are white
Your skin don't get received like mine
Know black men, they got the sweetest minds
Because of cunts, they're struggling to sleep at night
Peace just like a piece of pie but Ps just fill the pockets of the greedy swines
Who benefit from cultures tryna feel divine
Whites don't really need to try
My success ain't measured off my gene design
Feel alive, just making sure my Gs are fine
I ened a rhyme, this scheme is fire, a
Min and a half, I need to breathe sometime
So did George and now he can't, police just [?] knee to spine
No backbone so they need a spine to neck, he choked to death
Despite the easy signs, and now his family will grieve for life
See young and white, shout "fuck the feds" but don't believe the line
It's different when your race ain't really in the line of fire
This signifies the differences between the lives
Of every different culture in this country that we sleep at night, yeah
I've done stupid shit before, but all my thoughts are pure and I'm not insecure about it
I've done plenty shit before I even thought about it
Now I have won't be the guy to walk around it
Use your voice and talk about it, second verse is where it got personal
Work in black surroundings, guess I'm nocturnal
Can't be white and not verbal
You see two turtles, one is on its back
Say hello before you flip the other, you're focused on the wrong turtle
Black lives matter with no role reversal
Need real action not no Pepsi Coke commercial
Smoking herbal till I'm staring at my open journal
Tryna set my goals up like I roll with Ozil
Wanna change the world but it's too old for Churchill
I swear my bars all carry weight, my train of thoughts will leave my shoulders purple
This is real life, I promise there ain't no rehearsal
I'm just tryna show some solidarity
Police can pepper spray but it's still them without the clarity, listen
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I had to be different
I've got more than summer parties, I've got Glastonbury visions
And my people ain't musicians but they're Valerie singers
And my people ain't musicians but they're Valerie singers
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I had to be different
I've got more than summer parties, I've got Glastonbury visions
And my people ain't musicians but they're Valerie singers, yo
Too much time to think about things and not enough escape routes
And that ain't easy for a brain like mine
'Cause mine's attracted to the pain sometimes
And alie Boris, I ain't really tryna let this fly
I'm addicted to my phone and it's depressing me
That's in a physical sense, it's got me physically tense
And all my stress levels just live in my chest
And it's fucking up my sleep until I give it a rest, listen
They'll tell me I'm the realest, but they're bluffing
Asking me what's good and all I wanna say is nothing
My heart is aching, I just wanna say I love him
And if time's supposed to heal then why's that watch look like you stunting?
All this looking at myself has got me bugging
I really need to go and tell my father that I love him
My guy just lost his and me and him are strong kids
And it smashed my heart to pieces just to hug him
To him I say I'm proud of you, and you inspire me
'Cause littlest of things, they seem to tire me
Songer means to think in French, oh man the irony
When I think of that it makes me think somebody's guiding me
See I know it's just a phase, but this phase has got me fucked up
So don't tell me that it's all in my head
Because it's not, I feel it all round my body, I can't stop it
Never judge a person 'cause they're lying in bed, listen
