Adonai//Expectations from JAKENUNIS EP by Øvercome

[Verse 1]
I didn’t expect this shit to be like this
I couldn’t foresee a new me right this
I thought I’d follow paths of the righteous
Eye follows nails’ entry, my wrist
Can’t keep fightin’ this supreme complex,
Can’t let Mama down she don’t need that text
But I can’t keep being her hedonist
And I can’t keep pretending there’s beyond this
Believe my record of the world, Guinness
Believe in the word of the Lord’s Genesis
Believe in the Gospel, but which book is this?
Believe the pontificate, my word ignominious
Can’t decide on this thing called life
‘Cause I can’t deride all these sins of mine
‘Cause I can’t derive from pride that I can die a son of thy most high
This is inaugurate of pretenses offered in this new monogamous office that God is in
This can’t be offered to some kid from Austin if his mind can’t contemplate the spot where Yahweh is
Can’t believe the shit I see when I stare at the ceiling
Old friends and lovers still fuck up my feelings

[Hook]
When I was 5, I dreamed about a big stage
When I was 9, my parents got my first bass
14, homies talkin’ ‘bout we would play
I’m almost 19 I can only see those lights fade
I don’t know if there really is a right age to see your dreams break and your potential go to waste
If in 5, you don’t hear from me ever again, I just want you to know that I’m in a better place

[Verse 2]
Can’t think through my psyche
Can’t swim what I cry me
Can’t feel through my writing
Can’t serve to stymie

Do you remember those nights in December, we’d do hoodrat shit and then drugs in yo’ fender
This the shit I miss the most but this is what made me different I suppose
This is the part where I part with my friends for this dream I thought maybe could introduce ends
Anymore weed for my self-esteem, anymore and I’m destined to burn out the team
Any more players who still fuck with me, anymore?
I guess only the Ravens, nevermore

[Hook]
When I was 5, I dreamed about a big stage
When I was 9, my parents got my first bass
14, homies talkin’ ‘bout we would play
I’m almost 19 I can only see those lights fade
I don’t know if there really is a right age to see your dreams break and your potential go to waste
If in 5, you don’t hear from me ever again, I just want you to know that I’m in a better place

[Verse 3]
Why I gotta let this shit happen?
Why I gotta do this shit rappin’?
Why can’t I get a nice job and a good girl and a place in Manhattan?
Why I gotta chase that fuckin’ rabbit?
Why do I always gotta have it?
Why am I always facin’ pussy, caterpillars, and mad hattin’?
Why is this pace always so frantic?
Why they always pullin’ on my fabric?
Why am I just a peasant chasin’ presence and my pedigree learned is pedantic?
Why do I gotta go belly up?
Why do I gotta go and fuck this up?
Why’d you stop inhalin’ bruh?
WHY DO I ALWAYS GOTTA FUCK THIS UP

I don’t know how longer I can do this
Two more months and I lose it
The foundation’s shit fuck a blueprint.
But if you know me you already knew this.
