|No IDOLS|

Notifications come across my screen sounding like tokens

Reminding me to get back to reality cause I’m losing focus

Everyday we go through the motions,

trying to make peace with our emotions

Captivated by what I see

while still searching for the rest of me

knowing damn well I got a dream but it’s hard to achieve when you spending time scrolling on an empty screen.

looking at all your blessings wondering did you pray for that

Lord what’s taking so long you know I was made for that

I’m not hating I’m proud of your success… at least that’s what they cover it as.

they’ll try to mimic your aura, like you didn’t work for that.

like it didn’t take you a long ass time to get where you at.

Most of them aren’t satisfied

just a bunch of shallow minds.

even gave them energy to feed off hoping that they’d return it

only to find out that they’re jewelry and purses were more important.

it cut me deep to put my hustle over love because passion is what creates but betrayal is what we all needed to recognize real love and separate from the fake

it’s crazy how much we have to strip away just to elevate.
