And now you're questionin' the decisions I'm makin' lately Said that's rich comin' from someone who barely gave me a penny If you were here you'd understand my reflection Cause' standin' over there gives you an ill informed perception Of who I am who I'm meant to be and the couches between Cause' when you wake up is when I'll be living the dream I've embarked upon this journey alone Now I'm four years within the unknown but yet so lyrically grown
Shit How did my life become like this It's all a puzzle drinkin' I can find the answer in the bottom of this bottle Life's a struggle So we work just to work more [?] a last floor says has fallen through a thousand more When the rich take less to the grave than the poor My mum's callin' my phone and I'm on the road I take the call she's low sayin' she's been diagnosed With the same shit that had me wear a black suit and tie When my mother's mother said goodbye back in ninety nine
There's a thin line between love and hate And I see people cross the border every day And I see people hustlin' to find change In the pursuit to find change All I know is Ato come home Ato ain't ready Ato needs to get more The hour glasses pressure ain't resistant [through some] pesimism despite all these feelings be the rhythm to the way I'm livin'
And if you find A diamond in the dirt A broken bridge by a river Or a sinner by a church Trust I know life is too short to not give time to a possibility without hope
Young guy you don't know why Livin' in the city where they leave you by the roadside All I know in the place where I've grown is I don't wanna be like him
Young guy you don't know why Livin' in the city where they leave you by the roadside All I know in the place where I've grown is I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna Think about you Drink about you I tried with you, but you pushed me away Way deeper into yesterday Hold up where you goin' you best not be playin' games One fight away from changing this picture inside this frame See when you go Is not back to my usual Young artistic nigga in the city with that pencil full of pain Into walkin' in the rain And the raindrops they fall heavy for me It's funny, feel like it's gods way of tryna' speak to me
Well that's what I feel Feel what I imagine is real Just a flower in this field Tryna' find my way between The pretty lady's finger and thumb And she's god Cause' she controls the feelings I've got But I've got so much on my brain these days I feel the waves getting far too big to handle [feel] to turn this ship the other way Sail back to the harbor like your average Joe and play it safe But that's not life That's not what I chose
The Romans made these roads that I refuse to follow populated with people that don't see past the tip of their nose In the process lost a place called home Lost myself Lost my girl Feel as if I'm alone starin' at the [park] There's a billion people that feel the same Life is how you see it and I see it as a frame The picture that it holds becomes clear on your final days Pray it's never my choice to choose to give the [brush] away
Young guy you don't know why Livin' in the city where they leave you by the roadside All I know in the place where I've grown is I don't wanna be like him
Young guy you don't know why Livin' in the city where they leave you by the roadside All I know in the place where I've grown is I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna That's when I realized I'd rather have real enemies than fake friends Be true to me than lyin' cheatin' on sunday say amen I keep spinnin' the world on the tip of my fingers [Stressing] the waves Causing tsunamis Killin' them masses Watchin' em pray Twenty four hours a day Just to test em If I stop it wonder Who calls it a blessin' wonder Who sees the disaster Wonder who can see the lesson But my left hand keeps on spinnin' it I'm out of control My eyes reflectin' the cadence with no intention to close
And now you're questionin' the decisions I'm makin' lately Said that's rich comin' from someone who barely gave me a penny If you were here you'd understand my reflection Cause' standin' over there gives you an ill informed perception Of who I am who I'm meant to be and the couches between Cause' when you wake up is when I'll be living the dream
