Old Hope

I know what I should say I just ain't said it yet I lean for a head start But I've been ahead And in my head I've been lead astray The night done hit the mid Now it's a different day Something been missing from the system that I went and listed I know they won't listen 'til it's vicious or it's 'bout the business Say I'm just bitchin' but it isn't I'm on a mission and I get if you don't get it No offences Just the walls that I done put up Speaking of ascension I'm not trippin' when I call ya Put the trigger on the gate so you can pull it while you wait And I'm not saying that you should and I'm not saying that you can't Have faith Take another lap around the block If you're feeling what I'm feeling take a breath and walk it off I could lie and say that I'm okay But is it obvious Is it obvious Feeling like I got a chip on my shoulder I'm hopin' it'll go away when I get older Take flight but I still sink lower Closed eyes Wake up when it's over Feeling like I got a chip on my shoulder I'm hopin' it'll go away when I get older Take flight but I still sink lower Closed eyes Wake up when it's over Matter of tension and release Push the lump back in my throat But I can feel it when I speak I try to catch my breath, but the air is out of reach Goin' all in for the month Then I'm fallin' by the week Piece of pie from the baker They want every slice Say it's time to meet my maker Today I do not deny I look forward to the morning I know I won't feel the same At least tomorrow I ain't lying when I say that I'm okay Feeling like I got a chip on my shoulder I'm hopin' it'll go away when I get older Take flight but I still sink lower Closed eyes Wake up when it's over Feeling like I got a chip on my shoulder I'm hopin' it'll go away when I get older Take flight but I still sink lower Closed eyes Wake up when it's over
