Often Lyrics

Hook:
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would rather not
Often I do envy
Often thinking I'm nobody
Often trippin’ on the thought
Often smell the roses
Often got me takin' doses
Often forget what I'm not
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would...

Verse 1:
Guess I glowed up
Gettin’ in my right mind
Watch the honeys line up
I was looking for some change
Change never showed up
‘Til I started making sense
Why I banked on your love
Now I'm spending time getting mine
Don't give a fuck
Check, my two step now back to the one
Yeah, I'm too fresh now
Bel Air, what's up?
I'm a prince just in my hand-me-downs
But when I'm around all you ever do is hand me down
That ain't enough
Pre-hook:
Ooh, I need that in the palm of my hand
Fall to my knees, I’m begging, doing all that I can
I swear I lo-o-o-se so much life
Thinkin’ ‘bout issu-u-u-es on my mind
Someone give it to me

Hook:
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would rather not
Often I do envy
Often thinking I'm nobody
Often trippin’ on the thought
Often smell the roses
Often got me takin' doses
Often forget what I'm not
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would...

Verse 2:
Well I left my eyes lookin' right for my wrongs
Came back ‘round for some peace in my songs
Lost myself in the place where I’m from
Found out I been hurting way too long
So I'm - Imma glow bright
Makin' my smile wide
Sippin my own cup made from a vision that's all mine
Step into my light
Lookin' so damn fine
Wish I could embody this feelin' when I'm trippin' every time
Pre-hook:
Ooh, I need that in the palm of my hand
Fall to my knees, I'm begging, doing all that I can
I swear I lo-o-o-se so much life
Thinkin' ‘bout issu-u-u-es on my mind
Someone give it to me

Hook:
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would rather not
Often I do envy
Often thinking I'm nobody
Often trippin' on the thought
Often smell the roses
Often got me takin' doses
Often forget what I'm not
Often I do wonder
Often I do think about you
Often I would rather not
