Picture a youngin that used to live for the summer
Skip meals to go run amongst all his peers
Now fast forward up a few years
That giddy lil kiddy growed up and all a sudden had to pay bills
My current dichotomy
Grown from pure curiosity
Guess I
Didn't know that part of the deal
Or know how quick it get real
Feelings so fleeting
Me and myself need a meeting
To make it clearer
Conversate wit the mirror
Watch yo language when talkin to me I'm the one that's with ya
Speak some life into self
You should opt in to optimism
When options turn into prisons
Getting offered the slimmest pickings
Remember this place we in is a thief of joy it'll steal
But No matter how much it take I got more to give
I know that this world is all I'm given
And all of these thrills don't count for livin
A little more will is all takes
So I persevere I'm not afraid
And Right when it's fallin off
Not all is lost
It's giving me chills I got a feeling
I gotta see stars in cars I'm whipping
Cause None of my dreams involve a ceiling
I seen a child raise a village
And he didn't come from no privilege
That made me conquer some limits
I've arisen from prisons
Head on collision with visions
I had back then it was written
I been walking in purpose
I been coaching myself on life telling me that it's worth it
It's some things I'm still gone improve when the timing is perfect
Still paranoid that I may could lose
Like some toxic been lurking
Anticipating my every move
On the back of my shirt is a target made to play me a fool
I won't fall to the serpent
Swear to God I been working
Like a doctor and surgeon
Tryna piece together the pieces
And heal of what hurted
My vice suffice till it don't and shows
My passion might lead me out to a life as an open door
Sometimes it just take some mo
Sometimes it take a little bit more to get me right
Ohhh wish you the best of you ain't know this would be life
Swear I miss so much the days we was rolling 4 pegs on bikes
And Lord it done been some nights
But I'm growing
Inside this world that keep rollin
