Green leaf in my green tea
Got a whole wide world that needs me
So I sip that while I kick back
Man I'm trying to live a life that's long and breezy
Nah, no one told me that it'd be easy
Gotta put in that work when you wanna go hard
Take small steps if you wanna go far
But I've been having trouble even though it's in my heart
My health is off and my stress is high
Got a couple homies that'll testify
We could be the ones that are next to fly
But I found out late if I don't rest I'll die
S is real
Growing up I never knew that I could feel
So sick, so ill
I'm getting older but I'm learning how to deal
Only getting good sleep one week out the year
Certain things that I can't make clear
Burning out has never really been a fear
But I wanna leave a legacy before we disappear
I'm passing out and I'm fainting
Think I need to be a little more patient
Make use of the time that I'm waiting
And maybe if I do it that way I'll make it
But this s has got me
Feeling like
I won't see another day
If I keep living this way
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
Lately I've been feeling like
I won't hear another voice
If I don't switch up my choice
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
Overworked and not paid enough
All the time that my job's been taking up
Being away from the booth just makes it rough
But I'm still blessed that I don't make enough
I tried cleaning cars and it didn't fulfill me
Got a second job but it almost killed me
My wallet got fat but my mind got filthy
A victim to the game and I know that I'm guilty
But I'm never gonna stop the grind
I'm an Irish dude, I got a pot to find
But along the way, I can't knock the signs
If my body says something and I can't define it
I gotta take action, never be distracted and show passion
Keep rapping and factor the balance of money and compassion
If you don't put the work in then its never gonna happen
That's facts
But I can't be exhausted and get so lost in the thoughts that are costing me pain
Off in the rain
I don't wanna say that I was taught to be plain
But the basic life is not tasteful life
At least for me cause I embrace my life
I'm hating the devil but I don't hate my life
And if I gotta go to war then I'll brave the fight
Even it's got me
Feeling like
I won't see another day
If I keep living this way
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
Lately I've been feeling like
I won't hear another voice
If I don't switch up my choice
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
Take it from me you can lose your way
You decide what you choose to say
Its all about the people you're affecting now
Don't worry bout the strings that you used to play
You got dues to pay, you got dreams to live
You got love in your heart that you need to give
You gotta feed the kids, you gotta clean the bib
I'm always speaking from the heart and you just plead the fifth
You lazy and crazy enough to be setting an example like you got it all figured
Never thinking it through when you gotta pull the trigger
And you're bitter whenever you come under somebody bigger
Like f the police and f me too
Can't nobody put trust in you
Until you change i won't f with you
Until you change they won't f with you
And you're stressing over nothing on the day to day
Like if all i got is words, I can pave the way
If I keep a steady pace, can i make them stay?
Or will i fade to grey?
Uh uh, nah never that
We'll be moving even when it looks uncertain
After ever dollar spent and every minute we record
I know all of it is gonna be worth it man
Even if it's got me...
Feeling like
I won't see another day
If I keep living this way
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
Lately I've been feeling like
I won't hear another voice
If I don't switch up my choice
To see the real in life
And I don't wanna lose my ground
