Locksmith - Tense lyrics

You ain't got to follow
You ain’t got to wait on nothing
You ain't got to check if it's hallowed
Plant your feet down and start runnin’
Have faith nah nah nah nah nahhh
Nah

'Cause you never lose what you don't have
You can never learn if you don't lose
You can only step with intent to grow
If you hold yourself back, that's on you
I was upset, I was on mute
I was unfair, I was close to
Telling off everyone in this house
No space on the couch, there was no room
I was upstage
I was upstairs with the lights off
I was tryna find my voice
I was tryna fill that void
I was tryna be that boy, I
Was tryna kill that noise, inside
Yeah, lookin' for a place I
Could place my drive
Even when they said it was a waste of time
I used that as a map I could trace to climb
Now I'm doing what I'm supposed to
Even though I’m not at where I wanna be
I can still see that I’m
Finally getting' close to
What I first set out to do
But then out the blue comes
Red flags, setbacks
But still I know you got to expect that
Just build, let ’em fellow your set traps
That's real, I know you got to respect facts

I cannot wait for tomorrow, yeah
I take the lead and they follow, yeah

I have an issue i've never seen my life in a
Light where I can admit to
Any success that I've had so I jab at the
Thought of a brand new hill to climb
A new task I can build behind
A new mask that I can wear and hide
And use that to detach what I feel inside
Aside from Rap I never had a Plan B
No brace and place for my landing
No space to go to waste, withstanding
See, I never would settle for
What they hand me and I never would settle
For playing the backseat
And I never would meddle with any rap beef
And I never took heed
What they would spoon feed
Negativity I would let go in passing
I just use that as the
Gasoline to gas my dreams
Maybe I will amass a team
Maybe I could use that as a slap to the face
To people that lacked faith
That were trashing me
Like "Stop" Nah nah nah nah nahhh
I’mma take that vain assault
With a grain salt and wave it off letting it
In my train of thought
I thought love was acceptance
I thought cutting you off was protection
I thought being alone was being strong
And never needing a hand was
Being more of a man, i regret that then
Red flags, setbacks
But still I know you got to replace that
Just build or just fall right on your face
Flat
That's real, I know you got to embrace facts

I cannot wait for tomorrow, yeah
I take the lead and they follow, yeah
I don't want to stay too long
I don't wanna see you fallin'
I can only stay so long
I can barely hear you callin'
I don't want to stay too long
I don't wanna see you fallin'
I can only stay so long
I can barely hear you callin'

Callin' yeah callin'
I know you hear me callin' callin'
I know you hear me callin' callin'
I know you hear me callin' callin' yeah
I know you hear me callin‘
I cannot wait for tomorrow
