Redacted - Wash Away

Told you holding your breath was a waste
Fooled by the character arc, pick a hero to chase
TV replaced the real ones with feelings
That's why you gotta throw a molotov cocktail to hashtag be yourself
Shock the system
You ought to call your mom and tell her that you miss her
Instead acting brolic, maybe use your wisdom
Don't pretend to appease, check all that shit at the door
Death comes in threes, only means life comes in fours
Run the risk of imbalance if you don't embrace your core
Thats the real challenge of finally getting support
Go ahead and check my mileage, I been there before
Smirk as I pass my prior initials on the wall
Flirt with the idea of it never being enough
Biggest demon, love calling my own bluffs
Don't get caught in the wash
Those waves will lead, your ass tossed
Remember, every grenade to the stomach has a cost
I walked through it
Watched people get addicted to rewritten history
Then it's mystery why they fall to it
Fuck living in a blatant loop
Current run
Closest to the sun out of the folks where I'm from has ever stood
Y'all wonder why I'm like this
Just a type A kid, size fourteen nikes by the age of ten
Don't ever ask me that again

Let these snares wash away my sins
Only the bass knows where I been
Let these snares wash away my sins

Tearing mics in half was never the problem
Ride the enticing path
Want that tail of comet
We watch the world collapse and pretend failings no option
See it's hard to do math, we're counting sand like its dollars
Slipping through our fingers like a memory that lingers
I know you never seen this urgent need to push the needle
But I'm just trying to fill this empty broken space between us
Hope is a chase that can't be replaced with blind genius
Let that sink in
You got your pick of marble or quartz
Every choice you ever made it got you up to this point
Cutting greed, vacant support and all those backstabbers
Only leads to lakeside resorts with more laughter
Plans change, I'll be faulted for that
I'm a man with many brains so I wear multiple hats
I will never be ashamed of all the story attached
As a matter of fact, through it all I learned who got my back

Let these snares wash away my sins
Only the bass knows where I been
Let these snares wash away my sins

Building suspense, holding towers off the ground
That villain defense only works if I'm around
Hope you found a new way of drowning your old problems
No solving how to stop it cause the door is revolving
I've never been one who's afraid to be honest
Silence is your response, all because of the comments
It's like the lights are on
No one has been there for months
You been scared of righting wrongs like turning ashes to blunts
Can't remember every little word every bird has ever said to me
That shit is dead to me
And I don't ever really plan to either
I'll be damned if I let you do damage by breathing in the same room
We ain't never been equal
You can never be removed if you ain't there for the picture
That's not to be rude
But I'd rather be with my people
Instead of being consumed by the church of lies you like preach at

Let these snares wash away my sins
Only the bass knows where I been
Let these snares wash away my sins
