This is the story of a time

Where reality sits in

Where you got be an adult and make tough choices

Choices that I don’t wanna make

But I got no choice, yeah

Time to grow the hell up Aaron

It’s been a crazy year, and it’s still only May

I used to love life, now it’s something that I fake

I wake up late, always missing my alarm

Now breakfast, gonna be another pop tart

It’s no fair, when you gotta work, and your bank account

Shows a negative amount, and you find out that,

Your Hyundai got jacked overnight

Guess it’s time go embrace life (let’s go)

I go to work, have a list of tasks

Plug in my headphones, and open up my apps

I type fast, the hours always pass

And on the side, do math for some cash,

I keep the funds stashed to save up for rent,

But inflation has got my ass spent, now

I start to relapse, gamble on craps,

And still no time for raps (hard ways)

I don’t ever mean to dramaticize

I am only just unsatisfied

I promise to you I’m not sad inside

Just sad enough to see my dad cry

I’m just waiting for life to gratify

Me with something new, so that is why

I’m writing this song

Looking for a canvas to paint my feelings on

I’ve never been so stressed out, I thought

A thirty dollar purchase of percs was the best route

Now every damn week feels the same

Chronic mental pain, with no one else to blame

I dropped all my friends, in search of some zen

But the only path I went, down was pathogens, now

The pain has turned real, who woulda thought that

A.B.1.2. could turn heel? (Oh no)

If I don’t start to be lucid, I might end up too ruthless or maybe

Do something stupid, take a rental and use it

I don’t want that to happen ‘cause then my fam would be saddened

And the last time I checked, I wasn’t so damn sporadic, so imma

Change for the better and dump this booze down the gutter

So I can sober my mind, body, then sober another, damn

It’s gonna be a long, hard fight

I guess that’s why they call it sacrifice

I don’t ever mean to dramaticize

I am only just unsatisfied

I promise to you I’m not sad inside

Just sad enough to see dada cry

I’m just waiting for life to gratify

Me with something new, so that is why

I’m writing this song

Looking for a canvas to paint my feelings on

I’m telling you Aaron, how the hell can you expect to do everything that you set your mind to?

You don’t call your parents, your family, your brother, no one knows how the hell you’re doing anymore!

And when you do call em, you tell em about some crazy ass problem that you have!

Why can’t you just keep up with your shit?

Man, if only you knew what it was like to be A.B.1.2. (let’s gooooo!)

I don’t ever mean to dramaticize

I am only just unsatisfied

I promise to you I’m not sad inside

Just sad enough to see dada cry

I’m just waiting for life to gratify

Me with something new, so that is why

I’m writing this song

Looking for a canvas to paint my feelings on

(Ohhh)

I don’t ever mean to dramaticize

I am only just unsatisfied

I promise to you I’m not sad inside

Just sad enough to see dada cry

I’m just waiting for life to gratify

Me with something new, so that is why

I’m writing this song

Looking for a canvas to paint my feelings on
