Mhm
It’s N-Y-O-T-A yeah (Yeah)
Uh huh, it goes like this, yeah
[Verse 1: Nyota Parker]
Sometimes I think about the struggles of an artist and what it means to be honest
And what it takes me regardless of all of my true intentions
They only wanted what's given, I promise I got a vision
'Cause dreamers wanna be great and greatness needs definition, yo
It’s been running through my mind all day
Starting to feel conscious on this bed that I lay
Starting to feel nauseous thinking how this'll pay
Aiming my mind at the road but my feet don't obey
Anyway, I'm starting to trust my intuition
My gut forming something that's not any other composition
I hope that's not the energy that I'm ever emitting
If it is, I pray it kills my pride and never my ambition
I'm in and outta my head, I think I'm gonna collapse
Got food for thought, I'm tryna keep you fed
You just worried about a snack
They try to fill the gap but I bridge the gap
That's water under
Might need a sink for that
They'll keep you tapped, might need a plunger
Detox, rewind, mind need some time
Tree tops, we climb, to feel aligned
It's what we designed, society defined
I'm just breaking barriers, you keep your seat reclined, yeah

Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
You don't know what you've got ‘til it's gone
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
You don't know what you've got ‘til it's gone
[Verse 2: Jay Jody]
Mama should've told me there would be days like this
And pops should’ve shown me how to fight shit like this
Did they know, they know it would get like this?
Could it be, they went with the flow?
Yeah, uh
The weed is burning, the drink is cold
New sneakers on feet but the TV is old
Fake news on the feed, all the memes and trolls
It's all eyes on screens, so they keep control
I pray we sell all these records but get to keep our souls
I hope one day they treat my verses like enlightening scrolls
Cryptic codes, only the real will decode
Just to keep the future phonies and the haters exposed
I mean, how you open minded? Your third eye's closed
If you're searching, I hope you find it unless it's under your nose
Lower your dose and maybe you'll connect to the source
Only those that play catch-up get lost in the sauce, yeah
Dedicated my life to this, yeah ,yeah
No fear of heights for this, yeah, yeah
Never felt love like this, yeah, yeah
You done made it already if you're alive this year, yeah
You don't know what you've got ‘til it’s gone
[Chorus: Nyota Parker]
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
Uh huh, uh huh
It goes like this
You don't know what you've got ‘til it's gone
[Bridge: Jay Jody]
Mama should've told me there would be days like this
And pops should've shown me how to fight shit like this
Did they know, they know itwould get like this?
Could it be they went with the flow?
[Chorus: Nyota Parker]
