Drawing Symbols - NBA Youngboy
They say he drawin' symbols in the sand 'til his pain gone, baby
They say he movin' onto the land where the gate close, baby
They say he drawin' symbols in the sand 'til his pain gone, baby
They say he movin' onto the land where the gate close, baby
They say his miss just walked in on him, he was playin' with some fire
They say he mentioned to his nigga he might blow out his mind
Say he been lookin' real suspicious, they can tell he been cryin'
They say he steady waiting on somethin', he keep his eyes on the time
They hear the headphones on his head playin' Luther Vandross, baby
They read his wall it was written up in hand he got a dead soul, baby
They say he headed onto the land to hear his grandma talk, baby
He said they don't understand who I am, they all think I'm goin' crazy
They say he headed onto the land where the gate close, baby
They say he drawin' symbols in the sand 'til his pain gone, baby
I say I'm drawin' symbols in the sand 'til my pain gone, baby
I say I'm headed onto the land where the gate close, yeah
They say go get that out his hand, he on the porch with a choppa
They say he took like 7 Xans, he say he's helpin' his problems
He say he cannot trust a girl, he got no love for his momma
And he got used while he was up, he feel he back at the bottom
They say his body actin' up, he don't want go to the doctor
They say they see he givin' up, he don't want no talk 'bout no dollar
His only trust is for to run cause his past gon' follow
They say his miss just walked in on him, he was playin' with some fire
They say he mentioned to his nigga he might blow out his mind
Say he been lookin' real suspicious, they can tell he been cryin'
They say he steady waiting on somethin', he keep his eyes on the time
They hear the headphones on his head playin' Luther Vandross, baby
They read his wall it was written up in hand he got a dead soul, baby
They say he headed onto the land to hear his grandma talk, baby
He said they don't understand who I am, they all think I'm goin' crazy
They say he headed onto the land where the gate close, baby
They say he drawin' symbols in the sand 'til his pain gone, baby
I say I'm drawin' symbols in the sand 'til my pain gone, baby

[FONT=Verdana, Arial]This is one of the realest artists out there, talks about all the pain he's been through, too much for to be so young, 18,
[/FONT]To me he drawing symbols like "I'm hurting, I'm in a bad place mentally, and I'm giving y'all little signs but no one seems to notice that I'm fucked up and depressed" Same for me Youngboy, "Headed home to the land where the gate closed baby", this man really believes he's going to die at this rate, and so do I, if not to drugs, then I will do it myself.
"Say he looking real suspicious they can tell he been crying" never would have expected him to say this but he said it and I feel this way a lot like people know I'm fucked up but they just don't say anything.
Just listen to the song, he sings it beautifully and you can feel his pain and your own with every syllable.
