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 dreamin' of epiphanies, hopin' that they get to me

On my shoulders, mini-mes garnerin' my sympathy

All they want is love, yeah

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 feelin' but a moment? Yeah

All these feelings I was holdin' in

Baby, that's just time lost

Baby, that's a high cost

'Cause what's a feelin' 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

Lot of 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 wanna wager, I need me a sure thing

So I bet on me now, baby, I'm maturing

Holes in my soul, they was cryin' out for nurturing

Had to let go of all the judgment that the world bring

And 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 tryin'

Ain't no ticket to life, you can't buy it

'Cause what's a feelin' but a moment? Yeah

All these feelings I was holdin' in

Baby, that's just time lost

Baby, that's a high cost

'Cause what's a feelin' 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

Lot of baggage in that carry-on, yeah
