Chorus (Kevin Allen)
Yeah,
Round and round like a carousel, it ain’t hard to tell
We got issues, fuck the system, we maneuver through it well
Lord have mercy, forbidden fruit, I know they got more to sell
I was nervous to tell the truth it’s been hard to find myself
Yeah
Verse 1 (Kevin Allen)
Umbrella for the storm coming
Can’t pour from an empty cup, though
I’m sure of it, I’m sure of it
Never far I’ma always keep in touch, though
Stressing over things I don’t control
It’s all a cycle it’s gon’ come and go
Peace of mind is worth the weight in gold
Life is short I pray I stay for long
Chorus (Kevin Allen)
Round and round like a carousel, it ain’t hard to tell
We got issues, fuck the system, we maneuver through it well
Lord have mercy, forbidden fruit, I know they got more to sell
I was nervous to tell the truth, it’s been hard to find myself
Hook (Kevin Allen & SoLauren Adams)
Make ‘em say ugh na nah na nah
This for all the free dope that I supplied
Whether you stood over a stove or a 9 to 5
I know we not perfect but God, we try, God, We try
I know we not perfect but God we try, God, We try
I know we not perfect.
Bridge (Kate Lamont & SoLauren Adams)
Can’t afford to lose
Can’t afford to lose you
Can’t afford to lose
Can’t afford to lose you
(Can’t afford to lose you)
Bridge Continued (Roux Shankle)
Spin me round and round
We just shut it down
Spend it like a bank account
We don’t fuck around
All we do is smash and count
I can’t fuck around
Yea this shit a carousel
It might wear you out
Chorus (Kevin Allen)
Round and round like a carousel, it ain’t hard to tell
We got issues, fuck the system, we maneuver through it well
Lord have mercy, forbidden fruit, I know they got more to sell
I was nervous to tell the truth, it’s been hard to find myself
Verse 2 (Kevin Allen)
Aiming for perfection but I missed the target
Very thin line between stardom and a starving artist
Who knew peace of mind?
Man, keep your piece where your heart is
When you foresee the harvest
Reap what you sow from the garden
It’ll all make sense in the end, I guess…
Outro (SoLauren Adams)
