[Verse 1: Doctur Dot]
          G#
This is a safe space, say what you 
gotta say
Nobody perfect, this ain't about 
F#                            
politics, watch who you callin' 
       C#
crazy
C#                                
That shit is dismissive, you just 
        G#
end up missin' what someone who 
trusted you tried to say
We all got our differences, 
            F#
references, preferences, influences 
that can bе overwhelming
C#
Tryna stay mentally hеalthy
G#
My people be needin' a way of 
expressin'

Without feelin' judgement or gettin'
 arrested
F#                                
Don't talk to each other, just 
                     C#
keep it all bottled up, life can get
 shaky, you blow any second
G#
We forever scared to be punished for
 sharin'

Might even get clowned for openin' 
up now
F#
But I'd much rather leave you with 
no room for doubt
Continues after the ad
C#                             
If you don't leave with nothin', 
                         G#
hope you get the message

[Verse 2: Johnny Venus]
G#
My homegirl strugglin' to keep a 
perfect image
F#                    C#
Spotlight burnin' and she so 
photogenic
G#
Her soul got a blemish, no time to 
heal it
F#                    C#
Pose for the picture, nobody 
listenin'

Oh, girl, I'm with you, you ain't 
gotta fake it, you ain't gotta post 
  F#
a Reel

feel
G#
I don't know how we 'posed to deal
G#
But I got a phone you can call me 
on, you can open up shit you can't 
reseal
F#                             
We can air it out, we can cry it 
              C#
out, we can swim through it like a 
Navy SEAL
G#
Got a homie locked up, know he miss 
his daughter

Every night he spend, the mattress 
gettin' harder
F#                                
Know he hate to stay the position 
       C#
he in, it's many times he told his 
self to move smarter
G#
Probably should've called him, 
probably would've caught it

Seen him last week and everything 
was solid, huh
    F#
But every nigga deserves a break
C#
