[Hook]
I've been tryna tell a different story
Find balance and I'm tippin' off
And tell grandma I be with her shortly
I won't panic when they send her for me
Cause I ain't got time for feelin' sorry
I gotta be on point when duty call
And I'm prolly the worst nigga to get involved with
These shoulders is not for you to sniffle on

[Verse]
Watch the wall collide with my fist
Mostly over problems that I know I should fix
Focused so I know my skin tone is a cliff
We on the edge and they hopin' we slip
I had to ask moms what I owed to this shit, she said "Nothin'"
She asked me 'bout them old times both of us miss, I said nothin'
She asked me if I'm smokin' again
I told her that I prolly gotta go in a bit

[Hook]
I've been tryna tell a different story
Find balance and I'm tippin' off
And tell grandma I be with her shortly
I won't panic when they send her for me
Cause I ain't got time for feelin' sorry
I gotta be on point when duty call
And I'm prolly the worst nigga to get involved with
These shoulders is not for you to sniffle on

Earl Sweatshirt

Thebe Neruda Kgositsile (born February 24, 1994), known professionally as Earl Sweatshirt, is a rapper, producer, DJ, and a former member of the LA-based collective Odd Future. He produces under the alias RandomBlackDude.

Earl first met fame with his debut mixtape in 2010, Earl. Along with Tyler, The Creator’s Bastard and the group’s Radical, the mixtape was released for free, helping the collective rise to prominence, garnering critical acclaim as well as controversy surrounding the group’s lyrical content.
