These Days
I wonder why the world sleeping
I'm a dreamer I guess
Still speak from my soul
You could see through my chest
It ain't hard to tell that these days people are stressed
Too busy staring at their screens to be aware of they breath
Keep it moving like the sun from the east to the west
I run the lake in the winter when I'm feeling depressed
Wonder if they could relate or if they even impressed
I write these letters
But the message rarely getting addressed
All your songs got me numb
Cus I ain't feeling that shit
I'm catching up with some homies I ain't seen in a grip
We laugh so hard forget we all been dealing with shit
If you listen to your soul it be revealing your gift
Sometimes I only see potential I ain't seeing the flaws
Some people only see effects and they ain't seeing the cause
In this era new albums barely lasting a day
I could care but instead I made a classic today
These days I ain't broke
I ain't married to the money
But I keep enough on me just to travel round and eat right
These days I don't listen to the critics
Cus I meant it when I said it
I already know the beat tight
These days I ain't worried bout dying
I been more concerned with living in the moment cus that's all we got
These days I'm investing in my soul
Cus that's the only thing that really last forever case you all forgot
I'm making moves every month
Still Im stressed on the first
Always hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Never taking it for granted
So whatever it's worth
Just don't wait until ya dead to notice heaven on earth
Been busy still I got some
Of my time to give
Cuz you worth it and we only got this one life to live
Jus wanted to be free three like minded kids
But how they say it be
Ain't ever quite like it is
Ain't ashamed how we changed
I'm inspired by growth
Ya never hearing me complain
Though I'm tired and broke
Wrote these bars in the middle
Of the night when I woke
Turn ya thoughts into action
Stop relying on hope
Tho I'm still tryna cope
It ain't easy to do
I'm really talking to myself
When I'm speaking to you
Yeah they still call me cheef
Like it's back in the day
I could get high but instead
I wrote a classic today
These days I aint balling
Still I got a couple dollars
I aint dealing cus I got enough to deal with out here on my own
These days I ain't working 9-5
I been traveling the world but yet I'm feeling like I'm close to home
These days I'm more focused on my future
Letting go of the past and them things that I cannot change
These days I don't see it how I used to
Cause the money come and go but that love has always stayed the same
