SEQUENCE from AHAB by DroTheWhale (Prod. by Wiz Kelly)

My teachers never told me I won’t be shit
I got good grades. Aye plus I had them hoes all on my penis
Boy done growed up. At times I feel my puzzle still in pieces
I was 33 my gran convinced the family I was leeching

Guess I overstayed my welcome I was working on my thesis
She came home from church n got me gone. I wonder what they preachin
Swear them practices got cold I done got used to playing defense
I got nothing left to give em ask me why I got my reasons

Mama said you take some losses ‘fore you win boy that’s the sequence (facts)
Shit I guess that was the battery I needed
Like bet against the whale my dawg you’re sadly misleaded
We just stickin to the plan until it’s platters every evening

The blackened sea bass with buttered shallots and some Riesling
Might take some time but this a different fabric that we weavin
they thought the ship would crash I guess them splashes was deceiving
We just paddle thru the storm them battles showed me what belief is

I’m lookin at percentages
I gained confidence in places I was timid in
I thought this was the game it was just scrimmages
A nigga had to learn the plays
Shit I was so locked in I ain’t touch earth in days
Lit up all my fears then watched em burn away

I feel it now I see the worth
Like how could I forget that I been me since birth
Tried to throw my balance but it’s feet to dirt
Always been the gift now I just need the merch
I step inside the room the chickens free the thirst
Make sure you feel this pain by how I bleed the verse

Like i ain’t work this hard to live a normal life
Gave my all to niggas who went poltergeist
I showed you niggas once I bet I show you twice
All I had was me yet I still rolled the dice
Shit now I’m on the roll wit life
Need a pendant of my heart that shit the coldest ice

Need a receipt for my love I done gave way too much
Shit if niggas paid for love I would make way too much
I wish I knew back then but I won’t say too much
You used to be my dawg now we don’t play to tuff
Mama said you gon take L’s these just my favorite ones

Mama said you take some losses ‘fore you win boy that’s the sequence
I guess that was the battery I needed
Like bet against the whale my dawg you’re sadly misleaded
We just stickin to the plan until it’s platters every evening

The blackened sea bass with buttered shallots and some Riesling
Might take some time but this a different fabric that we weavin
they thought the ship would crash I guess them splashes was deceiving
We just paddle thru the storm them battles showed me what belief is
