lyrics

Breathe in, breathe out, gotta take it easy
I understand the shit that we’re going through is knee deep
Something’s gotta give, it’s becoming harder to sleep
Cause there aint nothing sweeter than the life that I dream of
Then wake up to the same ‘ol, everyday routine
Feels like I can wear a blind fold & still doing things
Day in, day out, trying to make some progress
Very low support system got me feeling heartless
I hear a lot of talk but no action, stop it
Got me ready to wild out like I’m in the center of a mosh pit
Can’t breathe, can’t think, what’ll happen if I make it
No more private life, gotta deal with this fame shit
Careful what I wish for, thought I had it bad before
Imagine being scrutinize by folks I don’t know at all
Want the money & respect but don’t want to be a celebrity
I can’t have it both ways, choose one & let it be

And I know things gonna change some day
Hope some good fortune come around my way
Still grinding , still pursuing, still got dues to pay
But can’t let the life I live today slip away
And I know things gonna change some day
Keep it all in perspective, can’t lose my soul
Gotta stick to my guns, remain so humble
Cause when you rise you gotta fall, that’s the way it goes

Can’t let the fam down, gotta think other ways
Trying to get my money up, support those who supported me
All throughout my youth, every since I was a little seed
Had people around C, trying to bring out a better me
So it only right that, I continue to fight back
Even though I’ve slipped, I’m still headed on the right track
While trying to get my mind right, I pulled a the disappearing act
Sorry I aint write back, call back, skype back
Still in my heart though, as I proceed to move forward
In my past I might have broke down but now, got a new motor
Motivated, giving these haters the cold shoulder
So Creative, so humble, so gifted, so sober
Clear minded, I’m reminded of my true goal
Building with folks, create that positive & watch it grow
It’s up to the youth, don’t know what the future holds
But I know a change coming, and I hope to see it when I’m old

And I know things gonna change some day
Hope some good fortune come around my way
Still grinding , still pursuing, still got dues to pay
But can’t let the life I live today slip away
And I know things gonna change some day
Keep it all in perspective, can’t lose my soul
Gotta stick to my guns, remain so humble
Cause when you rise you gotta fall, that’s the way it goes
