Pretty Things

Deante’ Hitchcock

Junkie in The Sun, 2026

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

It gets really hard to fake that type of shit like
Like the childlike wonder
And like feelin like everything's gon' be ok
When you what know what I'm saying
When it feels like it's not gon' be ok
It's hard to fake that dog
Like I don't know if niggas
I don't know if you can get that back
Pretty thang
A ray of sun hit my auntie casket
A sign that she in the light
In time maybe I could join her
A sign that I lived it right
Behind every pretty smile
An inner child in the fight
For their life when this sh*t get ugly
Hope you ain't the quitting type
I search to find peace of mind
I travel the distant lands
I carry past life karma
And burdens with blessed hands
Good head and some weed really all I need
I'm a simple man
Good head and some weed really all I need
I'm a simple man
I wish I could talk to God
I'd ask if she had regrets
I'd ask if my mama proud
You know I ain't made it yet
The mind is a broken mirror
I see me when I reflect
I want to pick up the pieces
But I'm scared that I hurt myself
In my dreams, I have it all
If this life is just a dream
And dreams are just make believe
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
Maybe not anything
Pretty thang
Baby the world is ending
We should make something of ourselves
The funny thing about heaven
Is to get there, you go through hell
Funny thing about poetry
It make pain feel productive
The thing about dualities
Creation can be destructive
I miss the blessing not knowing sh*t else about the world
Except the innocence we have
When we was just boys and girls
Don't pay attention to what they tell you is what they told me
But am I a genius or a failure for listening closely
They killing parents, they killing kids, they killing teens
Praise to the sky and wait for the day God intervenes
The thing about life is it comes and goes
It ebbs and flows
I know green can come in many forms for many things
In my dreams, I have it all
If this life is just a dream
And dreams are just make believe
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
What does it all really mean
Maybe it's everything
