Write

Woke up numb, feeling like it's been so long, gone

Same old song, starting to forget where I'm from

Looking at regret, wonder where it all went wrong

Though it's dark and the shine gets dim I know I can flick a switch and the light goes on

And we on

I'm just trying to better me, something ain't letting me

Feel my destiny curve like the letter C

Hearing here-say, that shit is heresy

Blocking out what the voices are telling me

Saw a future I know that they'll never see

Feel the pressure I can't let it get to me

Trying to sculpt every word like an effigy

I know somewhere inside is the remedy

Who'd have known it as kids, we'd all grow up like this and I'd have to go and book that flight

He had so much to give, hope he know what it is, lost a brother when he took that life

Ain't stop feeling him since, we all got fingerprints left on how the city looks at night

Try to stay on the path

'Bout time I go and hook that right

I got right of way

They can say the feeling ain't safe

I just write of way

Charge one up to the game

Woke up clear, I know why the fuck I'm here, yeah

Ain't no fear, hands on the wheel I steer, yeah

Take it all in, grateful to breathe that air, yeah

But I can't help feeling like there's something different in that mirror right there, yeah

Maybe this a time for reflection

Maybe I been caught up in the grind but I'm destined

Maybe I'm just lazy, and it's all on me to test it

But lately something's telling me it's all in my perception, right

I know what we see can be projections

You know what I'm saying like you're finishing my sentence

If I'm ever praying then I'm preying on my checklist

We ain't ever playing, trying to stack it like it's Tetris, right

Knew I was something from back in the day

Used to have visions of catching the train

Suit and a case, all packed in our place

Never content as just rats in the race

Doubt can teach us to practice restraint

Tell us its one way it actually ain't

Damage the vessel, can't damage the faith

We never knew it would happen this way
