lyrics

Opening dialogue

Man life is about trial and error, you know I mean. Taking a few steps forward, sometimes you get pushed back a few steps. Make mistakes here and there.

Verse 1

Lessons learned
Gotta live and grow
Mistakes you cant control
But get better within your soul
The pain we seem to hold
From the things that we been exposed
The bars that we create
in our lives, keep us enclosed
No prison needed
The baggage leave us defeated
Emotional support
Sometimes man its so depleted
The cycle we repeat it
Do what I parents did
I'm exposing my truth
Thru lyrics narratives
Imperative I grow from this
Gotta get a hold from this
And maintain thru some new faith
And hopefulness
Sometimes I'm emotionless
Wonder where my focus is
These other dudes be faking it
But see I'm so sincere
Trying to withhold the tears
Of years of this hurt inside
Its like i'm striving for change
but comfort zone collide
Pick up the pieces
Life without a thesis
No instructions
No rehearsals
Its live when meets us
Growth is trying to reach us
Working with the truth in hand
Been trying for so long to be a better man
Analyzing everything
Live a life that's interesting
Working on a brand new me
That's what you're witnessing

Hook x2

Time for me to open eyes
Thru these words I vocalize
Holding this hope inside
Going thru some growing pains
So many go insane
Trying to adapt to change
Realize its not the same
A strain
If your heart ain't there

Verse 2

Sometimes life don't play it fair
See it thru these graying hairs
Fuck it man
I don't care
Strength in the time of fear
Keeping it honest here
Sitting in confession booth
I stay in touch with my soul
So I'm confessing truth
Seeing these lessons thru
Your life needs the best of you
Good advice, execute
To get the things that pleasure
On good works they measure you
Work so they can treasure you
Accolades
Get a few
Don't worry about the minuscule
The tedious
Lies they tell, mischievous
The ingredients of those who are the greediest
I stay hungry
Stomach grumbling, ugly
But I stay upbeat
Even when times ain't lovely
Mistakes I made
Don't judge me
I'm learning just all of y'all
Scared to take that leap of faith
Cause we know we gotta fall

Hook x2

Time for me to open eyes
Thru these words I vocalize
Holding this hope inside
Going thru some growing pains
So many go insane
Trying to adapt to change
Realize its not the same
A strain
If your heart ain't there
