I don't even gotta tell you bout the start of this
I put my heart in it and that's the hardest shit I ever did
Honestly just wanting to be heard
Speak in rap and spoken word
Hoping maybe someone broken heard and helped to fix their hurt
Or maybe help to ease your mind
See your future, leave behind
Your past and ask yourself
Can I be redesigned
Redefined by my own self
Without no help
Take this pain that you have
Put it on a shelf
Can I move beyond my past right now
Take this trouble in my mind
And just leave it all behind
'Cause I feel like I'm in last right now
I'm just tryna run this race
But I can't keep up the pace
Thought I'd see some better days by now
But this life is such a struggle
Every day I gotta hustle
I don't even know my place right now
But I feel like I'm in last
I ain't been moving that fast
But I hope this hustle pay out
'Cause I been looking for a way out
But I'd rather stay now-
See how this may play out
Maybe all this rapping
Could be great or could be tragic
But I gotta make it happen
Either way 'cause I'm the captain
Of my life
Ruler of my seas, runner of the tide
Maybe I'm too cocky, need to take a break and step aside
Maybe I should take a break
Fake a smile, hey I'm great
Though my smile maybe fake
I'll find a way to make it straight
Can I move beyond my past right now
Take this trouble in my mind
And just leave it all behind
Cause I feel like I'm in last right now
I'm just tryna run this race
But I can't keep up the pace
Thought I'd see some better days by now
But this life is such a struggle
Every day I gotta hustle
I don't even know my place right now
But I feel like I'm in last
I ain't been moving that fast
Feel like I'm in last
Thinking maybe I should dash
Reach the finish in a flash
Maybe get a load of cash
Maybe have a buncha fans
Sip some lean from beer cans
Did I get here 'cause I ran
Or was this always the plan
Is this all it coulda been
This the way I shoulda went
Every dollar, every cent
I spent on this equipment
To record inside my house
Make some music, put it out
So you can hear my self doubt
On radios and play it loud
I take my pain and lay it out
Take my brain and place it down
On a paper, write my fears
So I can face em now
Racing fast against time
I'm 21 I'm in my prime
I think it's time to write more rhymes
I think it's time to write more rhymes
