The years fly by Faster than light in a memory Now everything changes My friend My friend Remember when… Walking from the fire Took everything you had Some things burn hot Some blood burns cold Some hearts turn to stone Get your chains off me The years fly by Faster than light Everything’s changing You should’ve seen it Are we born again and sober Or are we just older …. Said we didn’t change When the darkness passed over but look at us colder….
Hang in there This is life This is what you’ve got I flipped the script I changed it up Maybe I was a fool Sure I panicked in the beginning Thought what the hell have I done But then you ask Ok what do I do now? I have to keep going forward I have to I can’t stop I can’t stop The sky is the limit But we’re going to break through that too… Both feet on the ground Reality can be distressing But if you’ve got the moves Stay in the ring Pressing ——- I know you want to scream 3am what kind of life is this… ——- Build a dream This is your life …. What you get is what you’ve got… What do we do about it ? What are you gonna do now? Keep pressing Keep writing Keep building Soon you’ll be flying Looking back saying Look at that We overcame What we thought would crush us We surprised even ourselves We can build We can change We can run this race That boy from the mountains Passed down shoes Kerosine heat Concrete floors A lot of sacrifice But look where it got you… Look at what a boy can do…
Keep your head down Keep pressing Keep writing Keep climbing Soon you’ll be flying
Here’s the thing I’ve learned Simplify It’s so easy Break things down to their root value… Simplify Move through life with intention And focus ——// When things pull at you And bid for your attention Simplify What does this have to do with me and my goals ? Carry on … Simplify You can’t fix everything Maybe later you can But you have to go to that place so you can level up and come back here and help those who helped you level up as well… But to get there You have to keep your focus and again… Simplify…
Feeling the roots to the pain Reaching deep down For my witness Got to admit there was seasons Where I doubted the existence But I figure When the devils at your door Every night telling you To give in to the doubt And you’re lesser somehow If there’s a heaven there’s a hell Vice to verse One love one lane One season one pain One gain ——- I’m inspired somehow He never said he’d supply a luxury He said I’d have enough bread for the day I have bread in my freezer Rice on my counter A beer in my hand Enough for the day Every day Somehow Know now I’m not giving in I’m not giving out Not to the doubt It’s the fire In my heart In my eyes He knows the need I’m not giving in I’m not giving out And there at the cross roads I’m waiting for my victory Working out Not doubting it I’m so close Breaking through the lies I’m not settling I’m shooting for the sky Taking what’s mine Who made the rules ? I hate losing I’m running not from my past But from poverty From this lesser part of me I’m taking everything to victory I know what the past has My life has got to be like this My life has got to be like this Moving forward
Are you with her just for the comfort her body allows
It’s times like these we’ve got to figure it out
What we thought we were
What we thought life and love was
And what it actually is
Who we are has to rise up
And overcome what we’ve been
——
I admit
I was playing in the beginning
But now I’m hungry
I’ve seen the possibility
And it’s feeding me
We’re not the same as everyone
And that’s fine
You write to kill you kill to write
Putting the words down just to suffer getting them out
It’s a struggle but you’re real
You’re not missing any note shots

She enters the room she don’t care what you think, what she does and says , wears and thinks, how she moves how she breathes, unapologetic, she’s a different fire new breed the lay-off payoff
Her 9-9 is cashing out your receipts
She’s cashing out
Building wow
You can’t figure her out
New breed new fire fresh desire
Old you can’t apply
Her foundations are older than time
Her hustle is real and you can’t buy that from the App Store.
You’re not built the same as all of those other people … You’re not meant to fit in Stop trying You can’t look to the past You can’t go back… You can’t Those years are gone You’ve been through too too much You’ve seen too much You are not the same you… —- Those years You grew You had it hard You worked hard You grew up in the dark You were building —— You can’t look back hoping for people for something that is gone… —— I remember working when I was 6 I remember going to the hospital when I was 18 and having surgery And thinking “I can relax …I can sleep…I can’t fix everything …but I can relax now…” I remember all the hard mornings and hard nights … I remember But I do not blame them or no one … Those things made me who I am… I choose… I choose to build … And I choose to keep fighting… I will not quit… We’ve came too far to quit … And if you’re unrecognisable If people don’t know what to do with you If you make them nervous If you can’t be labelled Good.
