    I'm just tryna do it all at once 
    Everybody wanna try to tell me that it's too much 
    Ain't nobody gonna laugh when I'm gettin' funds 
    And I love my life, so what else should I want, yeah 
    Yeah I'm just tryna do it all at once 
    Everybody wanna try to tell me that it's too much 
    Ain't nobody gonna laugh when I'm gettin' funds 
    And I love my life, so what else should I want

    I said it’s gonna take some time and the time’s up 
    I quit counting on me, myself, and my luck 
    I’m getting it together and I’m getting out of dodge 
    And I’m making sure my dreams ain’t gon’ be a mirage 
    Gotta hustle every moment, breathe in, breathe out 
    It ain't gonna fall in place just being devout 
    Nah I wonder if they wonder what I’m thinking about 
    But it’s all too much, man I should keep it down 
    It’s too complicated for their little minds to understand 
    Come back in twenty years and you’ll see it was planned 
    That's not a threat, it’s a promise, I won’t be reading the comments 
    And I ain't ripping off, I’m stealing and paying homage 
    I said it back then, man, I’m so gifted 
    But all that comes with being so different 
    A little insane to be a little unique, yeah 
    You know what i mean? 

    I'm just tryna do it all at once 
    Everybody wanna try to tell me that it's too much 
    Ain't nobody gonna laugh when I'm gettin' funds 
    And I love my life, so what else should I want, yeah 
    Yeah I'm just tryna do it all at once 
    Everybody wanna try to tell me that it's too much 
    Ain't nobody gonna laugh when I'm gettin' funds 
    And I love my life, so what else should I want, yeah 

    One breath, one step, one day at a time 
    I gotta get on stage, I’m already there in my mind 
    I'm gonna have a couple people that I’m leaving behind 
    They can’t all come with, they can’t all make the climb 
    Yeah, it’s unfortunate but real and I’m hoping that I can deal 
    With all the complications arising between every meal 
    Man, it’s hard to think straight when all you seem to do is feel 
    But I think I’m gonna make and I’m gonna make it real 
    “Remember when you wanted to be where you are now!” 
    But I didn’t ever want to be here, so just calm down 
    Man, I gotta a lot of work on the road ahead 
    I sure hope that I can step aside before I’m dead 
    But gimme a second to flip and rip it and see just where my head’s at 
    I’m learning I don’t gotta be the best at 
    Every little part of every plan for a dream 
    Cause it’s a long story 
    You’ll see what I mean

    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause I know what I’m not, and I know what I am 
    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause i know what I’m not, and I know what I am, yeah 

    Let me at’em, let me roll, it’s my time to go 
    I ain’t stopping till I’ve played my hand, I won’t fold 
    But that’s the issue, I been crying “I miss you” 
    But I’m tryna misuse, so keep your tissues 
    "I ain’t got time to be all safe and sweet" nah 
    But what’s it gonna cost to get from A to B? 
    Nah the limited omnipotence is make believe 
    But if I bought in, why am I not praying to me? (yeah) 
    It's kinda crazy when you get right to it 
    But I won’t stay down, no I know what I’m doing 
    I just get myself placated and then think I went through it 
    But I'm goin' in circles, so I’m never really moving 
    I’m just throwing paper planes, hoping one of’em will fly 
    While I sit in my mind looking up at the sky 
    Like "God, won’t you help me get back on my feet?" 
    But He don’t wanna talk, He don’t wanna listen to me 

    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause I know what I’m not, and I know what I am 
    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause I know what I’m not, and I know what I am, yeah 

    Scaredy cat and I’m scared of that 
    With plus ten confidence, I’m moving in parallax 
    I got this greatness that inside of me but it’s become apparent that 
    I won’t be going anywhere if I’m impaired with that 
    Need to have to control and it’s gripping me by my throat 
    So I’ll be right there, as soon as it lets me go 
    But if it does then I’ll fall, nine point eight straight down 
    And I’m concerned that nobody will be waiting for me on the ground 
    It’s a setup for a letdown, and I don’t trust the one to claim I love 
    So you can see why I’m a mess now 
    A little on the nose, it’s on the tip of my tongue 
    But every time I wanna jump, nah I just turn back and run 
    He said I’m gonna crash if I keep this up, yeah 
    Maybe I shouldn’t try to play so tough 
    I just need to close my eyes and then take a breath 
    I just need to let go and then take a step 

    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause I know what I’m not, and I know what I am 
    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire if I know the plan 
    Man I got the power, I don’t need a hand 
    Cause I know 

    It’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire ‘fore I know the plan 
    I don’t got the power, but I got my hands 
    And I know that I’m not, and I know I Am 
    Yeah it’s a mess, I’m a mess, and I know that I am 
    And I'll walk through the fire ‘fore I know the plan 
    I don’t got the power, but I got my hands 
    And I know that I’m not, and I know I Am

    I’m chaotic and it’s beautiful, I’m ready to go 
    You better fly, butterfly, in the scarlet and snow 
    One, two, three, four, I’m getting ready to blow 
    Tell your friends I’m heaven-sent and I’mma put on a show 

    Calm down, calm down, take a chill pill 
    But I can’t, cause I’m the real deal 
    I'm the real thing, don't you see? 
    No, come to terms with the real me 
    I’ll be laughing if you think that you been fooling me 
    I ain't gon' cut off a clove just to help someone be cool with me 
    Get it if you get it, if I said it then I meant it 
    I’m here to play the long game, I ain’t gon' be offended 
    If you can’t keep up, cause I been at this for some years 
    But I had a couple fears that kept me from switching gears 
    That’s just how it goes, I’m bout to counter blows 
    Gonna read up and be talkin with that power prose 
    Not that A-B-A-B but like "Jesus save me, save me" 
    It’s getting so crazy, crazy, take me back to maybe, maybe 

     Is there nowhere a monument to what I once was? 
    Is there nowhere a path to what it is I will become? 
    Tell me, who am I that I must carry this weight? 
    Tell me, who am I that I must need this strength? 

    I’m chaotic and it’s beautiful, I’m ready to go 
    You better fly, butterfly, in the scarlet and snow 
    One, two, three, four, i’m getting ready to blow 
    Tell your friends I’m heaven-sent and I’mma put on a show 

    I’m doing it all at once and it’s such a mess 
    But I know still I Am and I’m still heaven-sent 
    I got some friends that been saying I been making slappers 
    But what if rap thinks I’m a poser, man I started as an actor 
    I'll flip the script like EJ, things are going off these days 
    Got a huge menu, cheesecake, I’m a picky eater, God feed me 
    Thirsty, so drink up so my heart don’t burn like reflux 
    I know that I need love but I ain’t gonna find it up in the hub 
    No, you know what I’m saying 
    Triplet, triplet, triplet that be the flow that I’m slaying 
    They ain’t gonna tell me the game that I’m playing’s amazing
    cause they don’t know what I been saying, but 
    Slow it down, then we go double time 
    Everybody gonna love it when it get out of my mind 
    But we ain’t there yet, gotta keep it quiet 
    I’m heavensent, I’m the golden child, yeah 

    Welcome to the mind of a madman 
    I ain’t in a box, cause my name ain’t Matt and 
    I ain’t tryna save the world, I’m just trying to rap and 
    Help the people living in the dark night like Batman 
    Trash rhymes, but I’m a raccoon 
    Man I'm eating’em up like a meal at noon 
    It got quite dark inside of my cocoon 
    But fly, butterly, I’m about to zoom 
    Double the pace until you finish the race 
    I’m in the middle of the moment when I’m MIA 
    But now I’m ready to rock, and I’m ready roll 
    And this time I’m ready to run, I won’t stroll 
    That which you must do, is what must be done 
    And there’s no try, young padawan 
    Man I kinda wanna work, kinda wanna have fun 
    And I kinda wanna say I kinda wanna fall in love 
    But I ain't really feeling like safe and sweet 
    When think half the world’ll be hating me 
    And I cope by living in make believe 
    And I’m thinking I should go to therapy 

    But it’s whatever, I’m sure I’m fine 
    I don't need anyone poking in my mind 
    Man I'll get it together, then I’ll be alright 
    But maybe not, I don't know, lemme think and then write 
    Nevertheless the present is always just a second-guess 
    I’m wondering how long it’s gonna be before it’s definite 
    I got a voice inside my head and I am trying to deafen it 
    Cause I know that everything that it’s telling me’s a detriment 
    And everybody telling me that I need to remember them 
    And everybody wondering how I am gonna represent 
    I’ll prolly make a mess of it, but I still got the medicine 
    Cause though I am maleficent, you better know I’m–
