Lyrics

Conversations with myself are so much more fun
When I understand the places that they come from
And I need to dig a little deeper
So that I can unwind all the stress that I've been keepin' for no reason
Hear those chimes? There's no bells or singing
Except for all the people that be driven by religion
Dad's been out to work and Mom's been in the kitchen
We were just a bunch of kids who didn't get the mission
Patriarch dreams, enough to make you scream
Worry bout' yourself my dude, you haven't seen a thing
You always tell me that, you're always stompin' down my dreams
Stop for just a sec, I need to flow between the streams
Oh what's that
And now I understand
Just why I'm here now, man
I get the plan
I gotta figure out just who the fuck I am
Before I make a difference in this world, you know I can
And I'll just be here grindin' until I figure it out
I'm on my way man, and there's no turning back
I'm on to the next moment, the next rung in my ladder
Ima keep climbin' until I get that moment, got it
Turn it all around, let's go turn it around
I'm feeling lost, hopeless, and confused
I don't know if I can take much more of this
I'm feeling left out of the crowd, I might miss
My shot if I don't take it
Gonna miss my shot if I don't take it
Yeah, I may never make but I gotta stay true
To what I wanna do
You're not the person we hoped you'd turn out to be
That's alright with me, I don't want your dreams
I'm just trying to figure out what my dreams should be
You could leave that to me, or get lost in the streams
Well let me hear what you got next, then
You don't want it, you don't want it
Sure I do, just lay it on me man
If I'm being honest, I really can't stand you
What's there left to do then
Why don't you figure it out
Cause you've always been a tool, man
That's how you feel? Oh-ha-huh-ha-huh
Well yeah, I mean it's true yeah, you kinda do
Do everything everyone tells you to
It's just the way it goes, you don't have to take it personal
Well how would you feel
Not good
That's for sure
What should we do then
I think we should just ride the vibe
Until we find the tide
You know we gotta rise together, that's how we ride
And I won't have to back down from what I say
Cause I'm proud of who I am, man I'm today
I got everything left in my tank, cause I've been filling it up
Man, it ain't what you think
And this is where I'm coming from, that's my true thing
It's all I gotta do, man
And I like to sing
You might catch me singing in a parking lot
You might catch me vibing in my car a lot
You might hear me practicing a lot
And I hope you will not judge me
You might catch me singing in a parking lot
You might catch me vibing in my car a lot
You might hear me practicing a lot
And I know that you'll be judging me
I'm so worried that they be judging me
That they be judging me
Judging my character, based on what they see
What do you see when you look at me
Yeah, what do you see
When you look at me
Is it what you thought I would be
Is it who you thought I would be
I'm not where I am
Is this what you wanted for me
Everything I need, man
Everything I need
Everything I need, man
Everything I need
Everything I need
I got everything I need
I got everything I need
And it's everything you wanted to be
Conversations with myself are so much more fun
When I understand the places that they come from
And I need to dig a little deeper
So that I can unwind all the stress that I've been keepin' for no reason
