Verse:
Ok I'm tired of writing 'bout love 'cuz I don't feel it no
Took some time for myself, doing some heeling yo
Cuz I felt the passion leaving
Getting colder, breath was syncing to the rhythm of normality
But I aint normal though
I thought about just doing nine to five's all my life
Letting doubt fill my mind with lies, roll the dice
What's the outcome?
How come I rely on probabilities to tell me who the fuck I am and who the fuck I'm gonna be
But, hold up wait a minute fuck dat
It's so easy to fall in line and not push back
That's what separates exceptions from the sheep
So I weep for the ones who follow blueprints and be walkin' while they sleep
But I can't say that I wasn't on my way
Almost gave up on my dreams, started living day to day
Just to make it to the weekend, the fuck was I thinking?
Reduce my life to mediocrity and binge drinking
And I don't even like liquor
Just like the feeling of temporary happiness them bottomless bottles give me
Numbing my mind from thinking cuz deep down I know what's really going on with me
Can't face the reality that I almost chose just to let it all go
Shut the blinds to my light and not let my flower grow
Put a hold on progression
Used to be my obsession
Glad I got back to the plan
Got myself to understand who I am
Who I am
Who I am
What am I to do with this light
That grows inside of me
Should I let it glow or should I go or
What do I mean?
What am I to do with this ight
That shines inside of me
Should I let it glow or should I go or
What do I mean?
