The Future

lyrics

There is nothing left for me here
My mind wanders & now my body wants to too
They didn't even want to let me be here
But I went broke,while trying to pay my dues
And they won't leave me be here
There is always something that seems to be wrong with everything I do
So it's best I leave here,it doesn't feel right anymore
So it's time to make my move
I'm sick of the same old,same old
Same highs same lows
Same narrow minded opinions with the so called bosses,who says what goes.
Same man dem bragging about the same clothes
Stuck in the same mindset
Photos in the same clothes
Same starstruck gal on insta
Back arched with the same pose
I still comment,wink like,scroll
I step out of my comfort zone for a light stroll
What's happening over here
Brave new world
Actions over fears
Yeah I can fuck with that...
I nearly lost it all,trying to find myself
Looking out the window & I'm trying to remind myself that there are others out there just like myself
My over active mind don't help
I'm trying to find a place where I'm myself
Surrounded by things that i don't need
It's like I'm trying to buy my self confidence,it's obvious
I don't belong to this
World of golden planted promises
Which creates more worry-ers
Than warriors
Crabs in a bucket looking for acknowledgment
I ain't trying to be like them anymore
I'm trying to make every step count
Because I'm not sure I'll get many more
I just know that I gotta get away
I can't take this stress anymore
Is there anymore,Martell in that bottle?
I feel like I need liquid courage
For all my demons I'm facing
And all of the problems that are coming
No more shouting over others
Just to get my story heard
Once I've learnt the things I need to know
Then maybe I'll return
Use the powers I've got & soilder on
Fly off into the unknown beyond

They kept pulling me down
Pulling me down
Fuck it,I had to cut out...I had to cut out
They kept pulling me down
Pulling me down
Fuck it,I had to cut out...I had to cut out
They didn't want to have to leave
But I did
& now I'm free from the shit
It shouldn't be,but it is what it is
They kept pulling me down
Pulling me down
Fuck it,I had to cut out...I had to cut out
