lyrics

Things will be said, memories will be made
Pain will be felt, but we’ll love all the same
I’m more than my body
I’m more than my name
I’m more than my troubles I’m fighting against
Plotted & planned my escape
I’m not quite free, but I’m okay
Maybe I should of waited until it was all safe
But tomorrow happens today
So why wait?
I’ve got to get out my own way
No more sitting around
waiting for my flowers anymore
I’m growing a bouquet
I lost my way in 08’
But I practiced my movements like OA
you can’t see what’s new
when you’re stuck in your old ways
You can’t have it both ways
I attached feelings to things that weren’t there
Kept reliving a lot of things that hurt bare
Really I should of moved on & Focused on the growth
from every lesson I learnt there
But I didn’t know what I know now
I’m alot better than I was then
I had to go through things
I couldn’t go around
I took my L’s & had to hold them
I never knew i was my own competition
I did, but didn’t
Thought i could just merk riddim
& find the piece that’s missing
I was different, but i never knew the difference
The T&C’s were hidden
Thought I could go & live the life their living
Copy their pattern & just mimic
I didn’t listen
Then I was wondering why I wasn’t winning
I couldn’t grow through those conditions
I should of been more dismissive
You can’t be seen from a next man’s vision
I lost myself for a minute
You know you can’t see it when you’re in it
I said I was done,but I guess I wasn’t finished
I went back to the beginning
Powers. Energies. Spirits
You’ll let the world control you
Or your can control it
Which one is it
Cool. Calm. Wicked
Set your boundaries not limits
Try take man for editat..is it
But that wasn’t the shoe that fitted
So I kept firing off & burnt bridges
Step steady and I move cautious
It’s not just my thoughts
That I am at war with
They didn’t want to listen They didn’t want to care
But I’m still here & now it’s all awkward
How they see me isn’t important
But I re-focused and got myself sorted
I’m focused on myself right now.
no outside energies or endorsements
And I get my energy straight from the source
You could never convince me that I’m sauceless
Anything ah anything
Everything is everything
I know I’m going to be rewarded
Kept working while they kept talking
I never got brought in
Made my own portion
A lot time of the truth gets distorted,
But trying to convince them is exhausting
So I’m like yooo
Bruddah, if you know then you know
The answers are under your nose.
Everything is under control
I’m just making my way. I can’t wait for you though
But don’t let it go over your head…
But everything is under control
