Tense - Locksmith

You ain’t gotta follow

You ain’t gotta wait on nothin

You ain’t gotta 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 as 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 gotta expect that

Just build, let em fellow your set tracks

That’s real, I know you gotta respect that

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 gotta replace that

Just build or just fall right on your face, flat

That’s real, I know you gotta 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
