They say keep your mind on today
Sometimes I barely escape
From the pain that I've faced
Mind split, earthquake
Stand strong and don't break
Is it easier said than it's done?
The right words never come off of my tongue
I'm thinking if actions are louder, my dad would be prouder
Of all of the things I've become yeah
(But truth be told it's too late now)
He lied for years, now lying in the ground
When I first fibbed I heard this quiet sound
Like that subtle tic from spider's frown
Cause nobody wants to see a fighter down
But it's Rocky when your mind is riot town
And life's blows are like a heavyweight
(Tryna carry it all until the levy breaks)
Maybe that's what happened to him
Maybe that's what happened to us
Maybe time's not in a rush
Maybe that pain's not a bluff
And the sky forgives if you give up
Cause when it rains it pours
And even kings mourn
And somehow we believe that's its worth it
Cause you know that nobody perfect
And there's so much more under the surface
Tell me bout it, tell me bout it, tell me bout today
I wish I could explain it man i wish okay
Funny how we always think about what won't say
Penny for my thoughts but I can't make the sense to pay
Tell me bout it, tell me bout it, tell me your day
Like my state of mind stretches from New York to LA
I look in my eyes and sometimes I feel betrayed
In this race for life but there's so much I can't relay
Tried to keep a cold flow, no ice cream
But let's not sugarcoat it, that's a pipe dream
Tell the rhymes you're great/grate
When your mind's a gutter
Feel like a coward from what I didn't utter
Like I just wanna get up and go
As if I ain't already know
Ain't it a trip? You could pack up your baggage and go round the globe
But you'll never escape from your soul
So I put a pen to pad just to write it down
Feels like I haven't written for a while now Learned I needed someone to just hear me out
I was only afraid of my own fear of mouth
It was so easy to keep it inside
But it still felt like my kidneys had died
Knot in my stomach that I long denied
I took that writer's block to a spinal clot
Now I'm back
Wonder how they feel bout that
Wonder how they feel bout that? Nah
The cup runneth over I'm not holding back
From a broken flask to a focused task
Gotta break it down when you been through it
And every shard has a lesson to it
So if I had to sum everything that I'd say
Why do it tomorrow when you can do it today?
Tell me bout it, tell me bout it, tell me bout today
I wish I could explain it man i wish okay
Funny how we always think about what won't say
Penny for my thoughts but I can't make the sense to pay
Tell me bout it, tell me bout it, tell me your day
Like my state of mind stretches from New York to LA
I look in my eyes and sometimes I feel betrayed
In this race for life but there's so much I can't relay
