Have you ever been to a place where you were stranded
And the taste in your mouth is still the same as when you landed
In this case like lead from pencil tips
That write or stab, whatever it is that's headed
Your way I'll say if ya'll haven't
Then I got a story about my bad habits
You might wanna cover your ears and leave me until I'm done
Because this place I've been ain't for everyone, yo
I can't tell you how dark it was though
Because nothing in this world could ever come close
But I'll tell you what got me through:
Only the truth
It started off when I got back from a plane
I see familiar faces but I sense a whole different game
I can't put my finger on it
But I feel like the playing field has changed
Everybody's own their own main scheme
Always daydreaming, achieving
Distracted with religions only they believe in
And now I gotta start running with the same reasons
Cos if I don't then I would be tried for treason
To myself, to my health, for my life, for my death,
They say I gotta handle it so
I must confess, I'm lost
Not ever knowing when to stop
Not ever knowing where to go
To give and not to count the cost
Should I? Would you?
Do I? Do You?
Trust your eyes? Or you're just driving blind?
Watch your pace, brotha
This could be all in your mind
You'll never know how much is left of your time, in this place.
So at first I thought I got a lotta time on my hands
But then the seasons changed, too fast for me to understand
It was hard to grasp it
I can't believe that this is happening
It used to be "What's crackin'? What we doing tonight?"
Damn, but now these questions hit like
"What you doin' with ya life man?"
What is your life plan?
I don't really know fam
Rolling with the punches steady looking for a reason
Cos I still gotta iron out the creases
The pieces of that puzzle that's called life
These thoughts all in my head damn they keep me up all night
Tossin' and turnin' for these answers I been yearnin'
All the glory in the world, I want it, do I deserve it?
You gotta earn it. First, you gotta flirt with it.
She likes that, you bite back then fuck with it.
She fights back, you like, "Shit I'm in love with it!"
If it's wrong then move on don't you get stuck in it.
So lately been trying to break free
You gon' always have a choice no matter what stakes be
So take it easy easy easy easy easy
And do your thing homie
Do you
Do ya thing
Just do your thing homie
