Block One

Crisis averted I wish I heard it Saw my youth moving distant from me I was alerted out the blue See my dad when I look in the mirror What I thought was afar and ahead is coming near For the boy I used to be I shed a tear Only see him in the photos, he ain't living over here I've been slowly moving through the fear Really out of obligation, I ain't moving out of sheer (will, will, will) Will I get it right within the year I hate asking this question and looking at a peer Met you on campus now I'm going to your wedding But I'm happy for you and I'm proud of where your life is heading It ain't even been a decade and you changed the setting I feel so behind, don't know what I ain't getting Swimming effortlessly and I'm barely treading Now I'm sitting on the dock of the bay, Otis Redding Might be holding back because I don't know a lesson Wish I could relax and let go of obsession I'm blocked Okay I'm getting rid of this block today Yeah See myself when I'm looking at the wall As it stands above my head, man I thought that I was tall I'm my worst enemy, I've got me feeling small I lost count of all the times I wanna give up on it all Can I get up on my feet before the fall? The new year started, I've already dropped the ball They tried to phone me, I already dropped the call Too busy fighting a battle to stop at all Soon I'll put my eye on the sparrow And point up to the sky with an arrow Came a long way from that dorm room With that box shape looking hella narrow Time to graduate from that mind state And take as much control of where the prayers go Hoping for a guide to show me where to go Hoping for a guide to show me where to go It could be just one rung away, away I would tell myself I'm done today, today I've got a conflict I just need to sit alone I can't sit in silence Cut distraction, ditch the phone It could turn to violence I just need to pick a bone Breathe in and out Then gotta keep going I'm blocked Okay I'm getting rid of this block today For good I hope to find Maybe through rhymes That missing piece In these puzzling times Tell me crisis averted I wish I heard it Saw my youth moving distant from me I was alerted out the blue JDHD, what up man?
