(YOU ARE NOT YOUR) PATTERNS

from Summer Tape by Gepetto

/

lyrics

CHORUS
You are not that shit that you fucked up
You are not your patterns
You are not your broken trust
You are not your sadness
You are not your hopeless lust
You are not a savage
Just a stranger on the bus
And we all got some baggage/

Hey DJ,
Take me away
I wanna break these chains
We May see the day
I finally make my peace
And take my seat
Til then I state my thesis
And stay in the crease/


VERSE 1

You’re not a dumb fool,
This world’ll run up on you
Leave you confused/
Have you run-in around in circles
Til you’re numb, bruised/2

The deepest wounding you can’t see the root of/
Seek seclusion, free some movement/
Teach the student/4

To each his own
We all got voices speaking in our dome
Peep the tone
Like why am i so frequently alone?/6

Am i wrong? Is there something about me that they loathe?
And i know, intellectually its just the
Same old show/8

Just the same old wounding in my soul
And i’ve grown
but ive been saying that shit for so long
it feels like home/10

And i bet some of yall are probably going thru your own/
And i bet you dont wanna have to go thru that alone/12

So let me tell you on some real shit/
You don’t have to believe everything
you think or feel, kid/14

For real, kid, that shit can heal, kid,
You’re so resilient, you’re brilliant/
This ain’t no stuart smalley this is real shit/16

CHORUS

I’m shining/
My light and
I’m vibrant/
X2

VERSE 2

We deal with the pain, but still
Wear the grooves in our brain
Like a canyon carved by 20 million years in the rain/

Entertain, the notion that it actually can change/
When you’re talking to yourself
Just be careful what you say/

Cause what you say becomes your story
Sometimes I feel like a shorty
16 suckin on a 40/

Trying to act like I’m not insecure
As fuck at every party/
Now I’m wondering if i’ma feel that way
When I hit 40/

But i never let it stop me
Many times it dropped me/
But i got back on my feet
Ran thru these steps
Like i was Rocky/

I’m not cocky im just saying
Put in work when no one’s watching/
Felt like all i did was struggle
Now you wonder why i’m popping/


CHORUS

I’m shining/
My light and
I’m vibrant/
X2
