PAPERCLIP by j. sula Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got the paper clip, I got the go
I got the message I sell for the low
I gotta wash all this blood off my hands
'Cause I'm fighting battles that nobody know
I act like I got it all figured out
Pretend that I couldn't care less about clout
I got brought down to my knees
My heart really bleed, I'm walking it out
[Chorus]
I can't lie, I can't lie, what's the truth
I can't hide, I broadcast what I do
And my cup overflow, that's from God
But I been far, don't feel that, so it's odd
And you can't say I ain't changed, always am
But I fear I ain't growing with the plan
Can I live as a leader, not a fan?
Am I still just a kid, not a man?
[Verse 2]
I'm getting buck these days
Stumbled on abundance of luck these days
Or maybe it's blessings
But I got these questions that need some addressing
Like, is this all a test? I mean, damn
Uh, God, can You just lay out the plan?
I'm on track to say that I ran
I sprinted away from discomfort
But I can't get better
If my soul ain't pushed to its limits
I'm living life as I want to
But I am not living
The way that the Lord hath intended
And I'm vibing different
I got baptized but my life moving slower
I'm stretching to say I'm a Christian
What do I do with myself?
Not breaking through with my health
I'm watching other people's journeys
I feel I don't do it as well
[Chorus]
I can't lie, I can't lie, what's the truth
I can't hide, I broadcast what I do
And my cup overflow, that's from God
But I been far, don't feel that, so it's odd
And you can't say I ain't changed, always am
But I fear I ain't growing with the plan
Can I live as a leader, not a fan?
Am I still just a kid, not a man?
[Bridge]
Believe it or not, it's no secret
I keep all inside what I'm thinking
A thief in the night been stealing
Crack a bottle of poison and I'm drinking
I got the paper clip, I got the go
I got the message I sell for the low
I gotta wash all this blood off my hands
'Cause I'm fighting battles that nobody know
I act like I got it all figured out
Pretend that I couldn't care less about clout
I got brought down to my knees
My heart really bleed, I'm walking it out
[Chorus]
I can't lie, I can't lie, what's the truth
I can't hide, I broadcast what I do
And my cup overflow, that's from God
But I been far, don't feel that, so it's odd
And you can't say I ain't changed, always am
But I fear I ain't growing with the plan
Can I live as a leader, not a fan?
Am I still just a kid, not a man?
