SELF REFLECT

Young kid with a dream When I started this Putting everything I got Make it hard to miss Every line that I jot is connecting every dot Making me who I am But I'm more than this I swear I look within myself I take my time to self reflect This life's a cycle and I'm getting lost But I've never lost my self-respect Man it felt like the world was against me Everything that happened in my life would test me Even though I let the bad energy get to me It was a part of a process thankfully To be the best of me Yeah I don't trust in perfect timing The world is applying pressure but the pressure What makes a diamond The future bright and it's blinding If I wanna do this right I need blinders I can't be comparing myself to others Ain't nobody out there showing their true colours I've contemplated giving up with music In the place I'm from Nobody's doing what I'm doing I don't wanna be stuck on Pursuing, I hate it So my only option Is be the first one to make it Cause I've had my heart At the right place At the wrong time I gotta sacrifice everything for this But I don't mind Working late nights In the dark But the sun gon' shine The next day so whatever I ain't gonna be here forever Cause I've had my heart At the right place At the wrong time I know life's a bitch but I want that bitch to be all mine When the pain cuts deep I pray that I'm gon' be fine The next day so whatever I ain't gonna be here forever I'll never give up You the one who taught me that I'll Never give up You the one who taught me that I'll Never give up It sound cliche I know But the actions speaking louder Than my words so I'm gon' show it Waking up and I'm feeling exhausted Thinking if I'm better than yesterday Every chance that I've had, have I lost it Am I making any progress anyway I'm on step one At least in my mind Wonder why I'm always thinking Like I'm falling behind Maybe cause I'm living different I don't follow the blind My life ain't lined up but I don't fall in line I put the pain to the pen I make a painting I fell in love with the game I can't acquaint with it I been feeling like the outsider People care about the out, The inside's sour It's the right hour I plant a seed and I watch it sprout All the dirt they been throwing It has watered down A rose grew on the concrete And made this sound And I rose to my feet now I'm ten toes down Cause I've had my heart At the right place At the wrong time I know life's a bitch but I want that bitch to be all mine When the pain cuts deep I pray that I'm gon' be fine The next day so whatever I ain't gonna be here forever I'll never give up You the one who taught me that I'll Never give up You the one who taught me that I'll Never give up It sound cliche I know But the actions speaking louder Than my words so I'm gon' show it
