[Verse 1: J. Listen, music my flesh and It's been my love since yea high I used to play Jay and Ye high Thinking one day I go from fan to fuckin' player I guess I a way huh My nigga Cozz wants A side note, I'm for you I use these bars and recruiting for you But her right And just remember on your lonely this mic will be your friend You tell it all your secrets you keeping deep within fantasies, regrets, your happy moments and your sins And if he doesn't comprehend at he can pretend begin to be the men we never seen In the 80's they smoke crack but now today they lean And Xannies Fuck runnin' from their families The streets give a fuck about the Grammys I could talk to granny, wish I could smoke in peace But when it hit the lately my mind it tortures me Everything ain't supposed to be, I take it as a sign and the shit that's steering me In the of some clarity music is my therapy I the Lord cause he care for me
