sometimes I be feeling depressed, reclusive, reflective, not enough, lost & a lot of other shit.
I always try and spread light, but at times a nigga really be hollow.
when that energy manifests itself and I move in a manner that’s darker than my true nature, it seems to be praised more ("the more I lose myself the more that niggas try to follow")
in those instances, I tend to go inside and self-correct
honestly I’m good though and a part of the process of being good is embracing the times you aren’t
love y’all and I hope you enjoy this song 💕
lyrics
Lyrics:
(Intro 2x)
Dawg I’m Hollow
The more I lose myself
The more that niggas try to follow
I think we all need help
And that’s the hardest pill to swallow
Refrain from being heartless and don’t drown inside the bottle
(Verse i)
Looking in the mirror hoping that I find a friend
A dollar sign don’t tell me who I am
And neither do these broke minded niggas
That live solely off a whim
Intention is the reason that I win
My present is this pen
My presence is the present and a gift
Present tense a nigga feeling tense
My preference is melanin
In love with chocolate skin
I wonder why they treat us like a sin
But every vice is vital for the sim
Elation comes from every single hit
Will I quit?
Never I’m more Shannon to these Skips
David Banner with these kicks
Incredible banter with these writs
Cooking up answers with this wrist
Aye dawg I’m Sora, in Sodom next to Gomorrah
Guarding the planet’s auras
In galaxies out this orbit
The system had did us sordid
No matter the way you score it
Life’s beautiful as Alora
Noah this arc is gorgeous
(Chorus 2x)
Dawg I’m Hollow
The more I lose myself
The more that niggas try to follow
I think we all need help
And that’s the hardest pilll to swallow
Refrain from being heartless and don’t drown inside the bottle
Rolling with a model
(Verse ii)
I’m enshrined in shrines
I make time for time
I got gems for dimes
I’m in the gym all night
I been working on form
So when it’s time to shine
Ain’t no stage or light
That could be to bright
I’m what’s missing, the final piece of the image
That fits in the perfect picture
Been studying hella scriptures
I’m, pro verbs
Been learning my proverbs
Embodying God’s word
By learning my God worth
Aye
What you on doe?
I’m as laid back as cornrows
Whole team uniform, like ya work clothes
Let that hurt go, I got it out the dirt bro
Blood, sweat and tears I’m rooted where the earth grow
On the straight and narrow at a strip club in some church clothes
Our blemishes and ignorance
Truly make us worth gold
Potential to be better via struggle hitting our goals
Messi with the kick, life is such a trip
(Chorus 2x)
Dawg I’m Hollow
The more I lose myself
The more that niggas try to follow
I think we all need help
And that’s the hardest pilll to swallow
Refrain from being heartless and don’t drown inside the bottle
Rolling with a model
(Outro 2x)
Dawg I’m Hollow
The more I lose myself
The more that niggas try to follow
I think we all need help
And that’s the hardest pill to swallow
Refrain from being heartless and don’t drown inside the bottle
