[Intro]

This is a world (World) premiere (Premiere)

Statik Selektah

There's a place for everything, a place for everyone

A place for every daughter, a place for every son

[Verse 1]

Welcome home like a stationary telephone

Same meal, we just cookin’ on a better stove

Shorty takin' off her heels, baby, let 'em breathe

My wood is clean, you can sit down on it if you please

I used to really wanna backspace

Seen a lot of people movin’ fast-pace end up last place

Slow and steady how I move now

Skipped school, I was aimin' for everything that I do now

Focused on being better

I wanted peace of mind before I copped a triple-decker

Workin' on my mind 'cause it's really now or never

I've been leavin' shit behind, I've been droppin’ the vendettas, like

I’ma give it to God and keep livin', that decision is mine

No friction, I ain’t tryna let my trauma make additional bonds

Took the budget off my digital climb

Stopped sniffin' out subliminal lines, eatin' better so my physical mind

I'm tryna max with my minimal time

Uninspired by a cynical rhyme

Spendin’ weeks with my shadow, keep my spirit alive

We comin' live and direct

[Chorus]

Comin' live and direct

Better share your mind with your set

We comin' live and direct

If you gon' come, come correct

We comin' live and direct

Better share your mind with your set

We comin' live and direct

If you gon' come, come correct

[Verse 2]

Me and my brothers speak about our trauma

About emotional damage handed off by our father

And how it wasn't intentional but a cry for help

How long can a man carry the world before he cry for help?

I spent the better of a decade chasin' dollars

Just to boast I was the number one provider

I deprived my health

And all the chances that I had to be a leader

Put my trust in other people? I said, "Nah, I do it by myself"

A comfort zone is a bitch, I know

As long as you ain't gettin' out of it, then you don't grow

They say that shit about career goals but no, no, no

That same shit applies crazy to emotional growth

One woman said I have control issues

But I manipulate so I don't really have to admit that I got control issues

A blessing if you got someone that take it slow with you

Sit out in the cold to take you back in and grow with you

[Chorus]

Comin' live and direct

Better share your mind with your set

We comin' live and direct

If you gon' come, come correct

We comin' live and direct

Better share your mind with your set

We comin' live and direct

If you gon' come, come correct
