All of it is taking a toll on my mind
To socialise
On the media
The social type 

I
Just
Want 
To
Stop 
But there's content
I
Need 
To
Drop 
I'm tryna strategies
I tryna help lives

It's like the spikes on the walls are closing in
Despite the spikes ima ball with the wholes within
I see changes
I wanna help change things

I'm under pressure 
But wretch said pressure makes diamonds 
But are the diamonds really worth it if they're covered in blood 
I've got Blood diamonds 

The swelling on my knuckles 
The aches and the bubbles between the bones 
I'm trying to ditch my phone 

And sometimes I don't like responding to messages 
I just wanna air the messages
I'm too busy focusing on how I'm tryna elevate 
That's work with faith 
And I don't wanna just sit here and be stagnant 
Now bro that can't happen 
I tore my heart cracked it open
Poured it out in x amounts of pieces 
Now my hearts in pieces

I promise it's not just in vain it can never be
Na it can never be
321 
I'm trying to be free
When I've got it in my back pocket 
That's a free be

I just wanna get the motion going 
Get the stone rolling 
like it's going downhill
But when you're going uphill
It's harder, I promise
Cos there's a risk of being crushed 

So I'm just trying to keep with this momentum
And complete each sentence 
Cos by the time I know it and know it off head 
That's another story you've read 
And I'll be part of history 
To me that's no mystery
I've dun lived my misery 
So I'll live my victory

So, sorry if I don't respond to your messages 
I have a disease called dream big
Seeing all these prophecies and presages
Slip my mind like wigs
Racing them before they become series of vestiges (Meaning cease to exist)
Flicking through the history book of life 
Praise God, I see My name in the list

So 
I know I probably started the convo
With Something like yo 
But when you replied with something like yo or hey
I had to get about my day
I don't wanna spend too much time online
My day can't pass me by 
And all honesty, l don't wanna lie
I just can't be asked sometimes 

So if you message me
And I don't reply
I'm so sorry I didn't reply 
I just can't let my dream die
It's bigger than me and you
And that's the truth 
Well that's what I tell myself
Even though it's just an excuse
