MARATHON

You know, I always listened to music that Brought me back to a moment in time 'Cause I think the game is such an emotional one That I always tended to listen to music that Brought me to a moment in time in which I had a certain emotion Whether it was calm, whether it's excited, excitement or whatever You know, that's what music does for me It's not just listening to music just to listen to music, but it Whether the music's gonna put me in the right emotional setting That I feel is important for that day 'Cause I been dreaming of epiphanies, hoping that they get to me On my shoulders mini-me's, garnering my sympathy All they want is love, look, I know that's enough now Used to think I needed enemies, just wanted some empathy Turns out I actually am tough as I pretend to be Found it in the love, yeah I know I'm enough now 'Cause what's a feeling but a moment? Yeah All these feelings I was holding in Baby, that's just time lost Baby, that's a high cost 'Cause what's a feeling but a moment? So I been out here tryna own it, shit Promise I'm gon' try hard But my God, yeah Everybody get tired in a marathon, yeah But we gotta carry on Thank God it's a marathon A lotta baggage in that carry-on, yeah I done lost so many moments to the anger Tryna cover up the places where the pains were Fight or flight of soul, mine always felt in danger Life dealt me a hand, I just said, "Bet" but truth is I ain't want a wager, I need me a sure thing So I bet on me now, baby, I'm maturing Holes in my soul, they was crying out for nurturing Had to let go of all the judgment that the world bring Sing it one time, yeah, your voice don't always sound Like how you thought when you find it You only get one clock, it don't stop, can't rewind it You carry on with baggage 'til you realize you the pilot I'm looking in the mirror on some fly shit There's certain things in life I wanted faster 'til I realized it's all about timing Failure come it's all about trying Ain't no ticket to life, you can't buy it 'Cause what's a feeling but a moment? Yeah All these feelings I was holding in Baby, that's just time lost Baby, that's a high cost 'Cause what's a feeling but a moment? Yeah So I been out here tryna own it, shit Promise I'm gon' try hard But my God, yeah Everybody get tired in a marathon, yeah But we gotta carry on Thank God it's a marathon A lotta baggage in that carry-on, yeah
