Yeah it's sad how I wake up every day just to get through it
I don't like to waste my time but I guess I have to do it
18 years of my life just down the drain
All because of my age, all because of restraints
(Uh) We only live once but I think that's a stretch
Life starts in the end but the start is a sketch
Holy shit, I'm overthinking all the things I could've done
Instead of being in a classroom, 18 years my longest run
Add a couple more to college, now my life has just begun
I'm turning 23 tomorrow and I've yet to have some fun
I don't get the job I want so now my dream is fully crushed
Some people warned me, they were right, some said I'd never be enough
Trying to figure it out, trying to live for the crowd
Trying to make it before college so they know what's my route
They gon' know what I'm 'bout, I'm living up for the clout
Like I've been doing this for longer than my brain can amount
I don't need a f*cking chorus so I can get my point across
I only do it so the people can remember what I talk
I'm making progress on myself but I feel like it's not enough
Will I keep wasting my time? I don't know, time will tell
I'm trying, I'm trying, I really am but I'm dying
They say that time is a dime but I just can't rhyme at the time
The future's near to arrive, I'm nearly out of my mind
While everybody's on top of the game, they leave me behind
Can't you see all the jealousy that can go through me?
Can't you see what I am or what I could really be
I'm a beast in the sea and I need to be released
But I'm stuck on a cycle of time like I be on a leach
