Lyrics

Full or Empty

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Oh, I put my life on the line for this life

I wear my heart on my sleeve for this life

Waking up from a dream, is this life?

Do my words cut deep through this mic?

Lately I've been doing a lot more thinking than writing

A lot more finding myself, to be precise

And now I've come to a realisation

That I should create the person to be in this life

People often think that I get too deep

You'd probably understand if you knew me

I've seen my nephew grow within two weeks

Still asking God "why'd you choose me?"

I guess I'll work it out in due time, look at the moonlight

I've seen my options, I'm just hoping that I choose right

He wanna know if I've been moving with a new guy

I tell him "do your thing and I'll do mine"

See, this ain't rocket science, this ain't a game, boy

Still conveying the same message with the same voice

Still applying the same pressure, I ain't eased up

All they talk about is money and bitches to feel up

What happened to the content? What you saying?

You can tell that Simbi isn't playing

Everybody's looking for a way in

Celebrities looking for a way out

How the fuck am I supposed to stay now?

Came in fully loaded but it stayed down

Don't come with the bullshit, that's all played out

I'm about to make the scene lay down

You already know that space with me

I need space, guess space is the place for me

And us

We look and all we see

Signs say follow me this way

I won't hesitate

Cause I don't know better, you know

Will you lead me down

A full or empty road?

How can we proceed? Listen, I won't rush you if you don't rush me but

That don't answer the question, it's like

How can we proceed? I don't trust you and you don't even trust me so

What's the point? This ain't going nowhere

When it's raining, it's pouring

No umbrellas, we ignore it, still these visions are distorted

Don't lose sight of what's important, don't forget it, here, record it

Moving forward

Last week, I was in a mad race, listen to this

When you're in a bad place or you're happy or whatever

I wish I could control the weather

Mind, body and soul was fed up

Tryna find my way home with my head up, ain't no pressure

Ain't no living life like this

I'm just tryna light my spliff

All praise to the highest

Beat made by Osiris

AGE 101 sameness

Been ever so patient while intoxicated

Lowkey I'm frustrated but I play it cool

They don't have to say it, Simz is dangerous

Only Space Age in your playlist

I'm warming up, I tell 'em "you will know when I have made it"

How the hell can you talk about the realest?

Do you know what real is? I'm the meanest

Everything I do is genius

Probably cause I reside from something down to Venus, oh shit

Rain dance on your whole clique

They drop new songs weaker than my old shit

See, I can get a little cocky when I'm not myself

But I'm still myself, you feel me, hey?

You feel me? Hey, hey

We look and all we see

Signs say follow me this way

I won't hesitate

Cause I don't know better, you know

Will you lead me down?

Will you take me down a full or empty road?

Food for thought and for your soul

Lord, I'm trying to be good

These demons won't leave me alone

I see you on social networks

Still, I won't pick up that phone

Cause my pride won't let me hang

Yes, I'm ashamed, I know, I know

Been on this path for ages, I could barely see the light

Check in through the day, I'll be gone by night

Then you say I ain't got time for you

Making me feel guilty, that's that shit I don't like

Man, I'm still about, you see me on my bike

No fake friends, that's not my style

I know my life is changing

Where I'm gonna look to when the paps say smile

We look and all we see

Signs say follow me this way

I won't hesitate

Cause I don't know better, you know

Will you lead me down, down, down?

Take 'em, hey

How can we proceed?

How can we proceed? Like
