Reflection.

As I sit here with my pen and reflect I think about all the times that I had left All the values that I loved and progressed And all the moments that I lost and regret In my 20's now the next decades a test Writing down my feelings hoping that it makes checks I didn't make this album just to copy the best I made this little album just to show it's the end My childhood was great but these next steps be greater Journaling my future 'cause I live through the papers Always had the vision of success right in front of me But now it's time to take it my hands, no more running B I dictate all the plays like a Quarterback But I haven't gotten paid want some quarters back I remember all the jobs where I was making jack And reflecting through the music made through all of that, made through all of that I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting When the birds and bees were funny talk but now I gotta watch my junk If you ain't careful with your head you could get stuck struck out of luck Back when we were playing tag and holding hands for peace and love But life ain't fairytales its grimful COVID showed us push to shove People judged for color, colorblinded thanks to media And there's no median for money we just rats stuck in a rut You either rich as f*ck or poor as dust with how the world is run Letting all these puppets dictate how the strings were meant for us Now I've been on a mission fighting with the grain Instead of chasing for the bread sit down and use your brain Are you happy with the life you've planned out for yourself? Or is there deeper meaning rooted in the ground you feel I discovered truth the red pill is the one I'd take The path less traveled, path of gravel is my destined fate I'll keep pushing all these boulders Sisyphus has taught me well I am proud of where I came from learned to live without a shell I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting I been reflecting, b-b-been reflecting Dear Myself, I'm proud you found a way to find yourself You were cocky for a little needed help But inside you just wanted them to feel You fell in love but didn't share a theme Then you turned to drugs to find a way to scream You pushed away bad habits and prevailed But were scared that they didn't want to hear A legacy is what you wanted built Split decisions which one will you choose to kill Now I'm back here with my little pen and paper Jotting down of what I been through, what comes later If I had a question for the younger me? On what events have made me who I'll be?
