detriMENTAL

baby girl if you knew better you'd do better

trying to convince myself that my better is for the better 

I continue to tell myself 

Zhonny, you know better but why is your better problematic like mathematics you can't seem to strategize when you don't realize what lies before your eyes..

and better always seems to stand out

whether it's visual or physical

but as far as your mental?

damn baby girl, I don't know.

seems to me that the downfall of it better catches your attention rather than a better situation.

so...deep down, baby girl who are you really rooting for?

because if it's these n**gas, then that's the wrong thing you're standing for

if it aint yourself, I feel sorry for you

but...when I change the point of view "you" turns into "I" so...I actually feel sorry for myself.

deleterious to my health

negativity soaks up my well being

locked up in this shell that I want to break free from but if I was to break loose, then my soul will be exposed to hell

so I can get off this paper plane and fly away

in Zion is where you'll catch me, I'm free
