This moment is copacetic
This shot - didn't think I'd get it
All this stop and go
Never quite sure where the hell I was headed
Still toward this dream I jet'd
Even with the odd's being so pathetic
Felt a fire inside
Could not rest...until I let it
Flow like lava
Off of my tongue
Life is a journey
Mines just begun
93 million miles from the sun
Embracing every little thing I've become
Live a good life
Have a little bit of fun
Seems everybody wants that same outcome
We all got a past
Trying to rise up from
Chasing dreams
Getting it done
My truth
In these words that escape me
Can't let opinions
Shape me
I don't worry if they love or they hate me
Too busy with real life lately
Took this mic and a pen
Plus what i've held in
Bled on beats
Like I didn't have skin
Real life music
Reaching places that I've never even been
See nothings perfect and
Nothing is promised
But I swore to god if I got the chance
That I would keep this honest
No more holding it
It's about time I let it go
Stay on that real shit
Straight streaming from my soul
(Chorus)
Farther than I ever I thought I'd ever be
Deaf to what they tellin me
Follow my heart, cause its compelling me
It's all that
All that
All that I'll ever show
Cause its all that
All that
All that I've ever known
My life transcribed within these pieces
Compiled it into a thesis
Living in the season of decadence treason
Is it all that
All that
All that they've ever known
I bet thats that
All that
All that the world is ever shown
(Chorus)
Disbelief, self doubt and curses
Recognizing all my purpose
Introspective projection
Reflecting what's beyond the surface
Left my pride and apprehension
Got fueled by this damn ambition
No time for that competition
I just wanna make them listen
To a little bit more
Then the gats and the gun play
Ain't about my swag on the runway
Not about that life
Thats a part that I don't play
So much more
I feel that I gotta say
With these
Restless thoughts
Transmitting right through a speaker
Verbal ventilation
When levels chart right off the meter
You get this one life
I'm living every moment
Time is selfish
You can never borrow never
Only own it
So never hold back
If what you feel is true
The impossible is plausible
If you believe in you
Far too many gimmicks
Pretending to be authentic
All out of pocket
And acting hallucinogenic
One with this mind state
These thoughts that I create
They on that negative
I just wanna elevate
(Chorus)
Follow your heart
The truth inside you
See through the love and hate
Don't let it blind you
Everything is not lost
Must I remind you
So many think that they know
But you define you
So I set the record straight
Pour out all my love and hate
Hoping others can relate
To this non-fiction I demonstrate
So i'ma take this chance
Set it free
It's not about where you are
It's where you're trying to be...
