Uh
I've only lived life gripping tight
On a thin rope
Went from girl to girlfriend
In order to cope
But it
Didn't fill the need
Cause I'm still in need
And I'm filled with greed to proceed indeed
But if I don't understand where I've been
Uh
I'mma take the very same road to sin
Uh
Same girl different fate is worth a grin
Uh
A standstill till I learn how to win
So I'm switching up the whole scene
Casting away all the old thoughts
And old things
And let it shine bright
A city on the hill beaming
And it feels right
And let the river flow
Gleaming even when it's light
And got my goons 24/7 ready to fight
And gather all my fruits
Only when it's ripe
Cause serious
It's been taking my whole life
And I've been dicing it to pieces
With my very own knife like
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
I keep seeing my friends lose it
Life or death
The choice is yours
Choose it
Is what I've been hearing ever since the 9th grade
But the light was kinda hot
So I kicked it in the shade
And I drunk some lemonade
While the other kids played
And I slowly recognized
All the progress they made
Then I looked to myself
And I realized I was pale
At the end of the class
They passed and I failed and I
Sometimes I feel I'm still there
Underneath the same tree trap
Thinking I'm free and
Every morning I wake up to handcuffs
But it's cool in the shade
And I don't wanna wake up
And I know if I stop out
In the light I'll awake
And see things differently
And have to shape
All the dross and the alloy off
Which will make me shape me
Into exactly what God made me to be
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
So I step out
Let out a shout
And do time
But my rhyme only reflects me and defines
Where I'm at
So I only incline and rewind
To my past to notice my mistakes and recline
And things stand up
Now we get it right
Cause my life is
But a quick blink in a short night
But I'm chilling now
Not gonna wonder how
My life is gonna change
Cause I'll just let it re-arrange like this
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
I know it's about time to make and get real
It's non-existent like a record deal
I need a story just before I bail
I'll get it now
Before my fate gets sealed
