[KOTA The Friend, Statik Selektah - Live & Direct lyrics]


This is a world (World) premiere (Premiere)
Statik Selektah
There's a place for everything, a place for everyone
A place for every daughter, a place for every son

Welcome home like a stationary telephone
Same meal, we just cookin' on a better stove
Shorty takin' off her heels, baby, let 'em breathe
My wood is clean, you can sit down on it if you please
I used to really wanna backspace
Seen a lot of people movin' fast-pace end up last place
Slow and steady how I move now
Skipped school, I was aimin' for everything that I do now
Focused on being better
I wanted peace of mind before I copped a triple-decker
Workin' on my mind 'cause it's really now or never
I've been leavin' shit behind, I've been droppin' the vendettas, like
I'ma give it to God and keep livin', that decision is mine
No friction, I ain't tryna let my trauma make additional bonds
Took the budget off my digital climb


Stopped sniffin' out subliminal lines, eatin' better so my physical mind
I'm tryna max with my minimal time
Uninspired by a cynical rhyme
Spendin' weeks with my shadow, keep my spirit alive
We comin' live and direct

Comin' live and direct
Better share your mind with your set
We comin' live and direct
If you gon' come, come correct
We comin' live and direct
Better share your mind with your set
We comin' live and direct
If you gon' come, come correct

Me and my brothers speak about our trauma
About emotional damage handed off by our father
And how it wasn't intentional but a cry for help
How long can a man carry the world before he cry for help?
I spent the better of a decade chasin' dollars
Just to boast I was the number one provider
I deprived my health
And all the chances that I had to be a leader
Put my trust in other people? I said, "Nah, I do it by myself"
A comfort zone is a bitch, I know
As long as you ain't gettin' out of it, then you don't grow
They say that shit about career goals but no, no, no
That same shit applies crazy to emotional growth
One woman said I have control issues
But I manipulate so I don't really have to admit that I got control issues
A blessing if you got someone that take it slow with you
Sit out in the cold to take you back in and grow with you

Comin' live and direct
Better share your mind with your set
We comin' live and direct
If you gon' come, come correct
We comin' live and direct
Better share your mind with your set
We comin' live and direct
If you gon' come, come correct
