We’re always talking
About success
And kinds of paths were walking
You want the best
But it’s kind of awkward
Coz I can’t see a light
I know positive is right
But in this mockery of life…
….Its like the world’s against me
You try so hard but
inside you’re empty
You pray to God about
who your friends be
They walk by your side but won’t help you provide
Then expect a free ride…..
…..When you earn your keep
I seek protection
From the irony.
In time progression always finds me
If I don’t find it first
Before I hit my hearse
Its my gift and my curse.
We own unzoned potential
Why hold it down
Whilst watching thrones, that’s mental
We want the crown
A game that’s detrimental
So the question is do I
Take possession of a lie
Or chase my dreams
Fly or die?
What you see with your foresight
Makes you feel like there’s no light
Its alright
Keep passion in your life
Put passion in your fight
Then it’s alright
