lirik lagu origami (don’t fold) – j-s.a.n.d.

[verse]
i was taught to not be origami, you can’t be outchea slippin’
you can’t be foldin’, ain’t no bending backwards, ain’t no rippin’
when they throw obstacles at your feet, sh*t you can’t be trippin’
n*gga you gotta be a man, you can’t be outchea b*tchin’
they always told me don’t be like origami (don’t fold!)
even when it feels like folding is the perfect answer
you can’t be outchea playin’ victim to your circumstances
man, you ‘sposed to rise to the challenge, whatever the circumstance is
just don’t be origami (don’t fold!)
please don’t be outchea foldin’
that’s not the way we built
that’s not how we were shaped and molded
they told me “show no emotions”
you ‘sposed to hate them sh*ts
tuck ’em away like deebo was coming to take your sh*ts
they said “never be origami” (don’t fold!)
sometimes you gotta be your own source of light in the dark spots
‘sposed to protect your heart until the day that your heart stops
we’re too hard to be origami, n*gga, we cardstock
you gotta fight through the pain, although it hurts to smile
just never fold! ain’t no hotdog or hamburger style
’cause you gon’ make it out alright if god says the same
you ‘sposed to fly like paper planes, not like paper cranes
pressure bust pipes, it takes time to make diamonds
life is a game of “simon says,” and you’ve just gotta play simon
don’t ever let ’em f*ck you over, they gon’ try to do it purposely
don’t worry, see, you ‘sposed to be face*to*face with adversity
i know this too well, everyday’s a new “l”
i’m young, but seen a lot, i swear my eyes could tell a few tales
whatchu know about setbacks?
whatchu know about struggle?
this the sh*t that separates the full*bloods from the muggles, i’m jk
i seen my mama struggle tryna introduce ends
and it felt like my pops ain’t even wanna put in his two cents
these abandonment issues stem from when he had his new kids
connecting dots, i guess that’s why i be afraid to lose friends
we gettin’ better: i guess you could say we’re patchin’ sh*t
diggin’ up the dirt just so we could bury the hatchet
sh*t, i’m tryna block that hurt out my mind, but in the back of it
he had a king bed, i was sleeping on air mattresses
but i can’t understand the sh*t that he was going through
know it was h*lla instances he probably could’ve folded too!
but, i watched my mama catch all the sh*t life could throw at you
she took it like the gangsta she is and she kept it rollin’ fool
what else you ‘sposed to do when the odds is against you?
nowhere to turn: it’s even feeling like god is against you
when your tribulations and trials run wild on your mental
i see it now! so if you’re listening, ma, i commend you
heater was broken, we couldn’t keep the house hot in the cold
had to boil the bathwater in a pot on the stove
remember home*cooked meals in the microwave with minute*rice
making excuses when my potnas would ask to spend the night
n*ggas used to invite a pile of they friends
i lived in hotels, motels, holiday*inns
we had a different kind of holiday then
christmas for us was income taxes, we was ballin’ again
this where the saga begins
my beginnings was “humble” like a new kendrick fan
tryna be on top like the dirt that be on the ceiling fan
now, i admit, i might trip and get in my feelings, fam
but that’s okay because when you show emotions, you’re still a man
’cause that ain’t origami (don’t fold!)
really origami is taking your eye off the ball
if you don’t fold, don’t panic! you’ll be more aerodynamic
so in other words, n*gga, you could fly if you fall
see you really shouldn’t be origami (don’t fold!)
i’ve learned you should never think n0body owes you sh*t
don’t be feeling sorry for yourself, quit all that mopin’ sh*t
and if somebody got you f*cked up, you ain’t ‘sposed to just go with it
my n*gga don’t be origami (don’t fold!)
when that heat get on on you, don’t ever fold!
you ain’t ‘sposed to have no creases or corners
i come in peace, just to warn you
when other people wanna harm you, stand on your feet, don’t concede, if you succeed, you’ll get stronger (don’t fold!)
and when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s gon’ be more to see
just don’t miss your chance to be who you was born to be
’cause if i fold, i’m not gon’ get what’s in store for me
sh*t, i can’t be origami cause i can’t afford to be!
[outro]
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
swear to god i can’t fold
