lyrics

Verse 1
Everyone around me stuck I knew I wanted more
All I want is to become a hip hop connoisseur
But these everyday distractions keep on knocking at my door
I found meaning but I doubted it I wanted to be sure
And people quick to judge him I just hope I rise above ‘em
Guess my problem is I care too much they diss me I still love ‘em
There’s probably a dozen reasons I should leave alone
All this shit, but these thoughts up in my head they need a home
So I put them in these poems, and hope they make a mark
Spill my heart on the page leave it for you to break apart
If it wasn’t for this music I’d be drinking every night
Used to struggle with temptation now I know I gotta fight
Cuz I know that shit aint right but it’s hard for me believe me
But still everyday I sit alone and write, this shit aint easy
But I know it’s gonna take me where I’m going so I do it
But I swear to God right now I’m going through it

Hook
I just wanna fly away from truth cuz the truth hurts
Fly away from view where do I go from here?
Fly away from truth what do I do first?
Fly away from view just wanna fly away
Fly away from truth cuz the truth hurts
Fly away from view and I just wanna
Fly away from truth cuz the truth hurts
Fly away form view

Verse 2
People say I get invested too quick into women
I just got a lot of love I wanna show what I can give them
Or maybe I’m just insecure, trying to find love
Before my life begins to blur I don’t know anything for sure
And now I’m texting you I’ll give you what you want in every way
The truth is I still think about my ex like everyday
Is it wrong that I want something more?
Solve one problem cause 100 more honestly I don’t know what I’m running for
Know this what want so tell me why I;m so conflicted
This is turning out to be more difficult that I predicted
Overthinking every situation see what’s not depicted
I’m addicted to the stories that my own mind has scripted
I’m lifted, drifting off I’m trying to get my head straight
I carry you with me on my brain like dead weight
You’re always on my mind I think about you all the time
Tell me are these thoughts up your head or are they all in mine?

Hook

Verse 3
Everyday I’m grinding I just gotta stay determined
Yeah I may have started sow but I’ve gotta say I’m learning
I really feel like this shit is my destiny was meant for me
The plan for my life that the universe has sent for me
Still aint made it happen yet I know I will eventually
But time’s been flying by so fast and honestly a century
Is not a lot of time, when I think about my folks
How much time do they have left and when they’re gone how will I cope?
Before that I wanna send them ‘round the world on a boat
So they know how much that I appreciate them ‘cause they don't
But I can’t ‘cause I’m a victim to the system so I’m broke
So sick of stressing seven days a week having to choke
Down these words up in my throat while I’m working at this job
But I still have hope that I can stray away and play the odds
I don’t believe in God but I’m praying to him anyway
I’ve been working hard I swear this shit could pop off any day

Hook
