Twenty-Five

A quarter-century of running this earth A constant struggle with my value and worth There's hope and then there's pride and greed Then there's me I put my eyes up on the highest shelf So I can take a goddamn look at myself The highs, and faults, and in-betweens What a scene But I keep it in scope And I'll never lose hope There's twenty-five different colors of me As I struggle with the man I should be The dreamer, financier Believer, or a leader My girl, I hope I meet her From the outside I know how it seems A nice apartment and a couple degrees What could possibly go wrong for me Oh, you'll see But I keep it in scope And I'll never lose hope And I'll never lose hope And I'll never lose hope I started thinking that stability's near But then again it's been a hell of a year I left a place I hated The world self-isolated But I still think I'll make it I bet it Cause I keep it in scope And I'll never lose hope Cause I keep it in scope And I'll never lose hope
