And I'm two years deep
Seeing all these young adults always wanna party like it's new years eve
Saying who hears me?
Ain't got a grip on the game but I feel as if I see the view clearly
So I, take the time out of my day, always a way
Writing how I feel about the moments that we take
For granted, it's sad kid
You gotta cherish life with the understanding that you can't demand it
I took this summer to have fun and work a lot
Been grinding hard and I haven't even heard the clock
No tick tock, all I hear is hip hop
Can't even pay attention to a girl when our lips lock
I'm really worried about the next few years
I hope my blood and sweat don't form new tears
It's like that when songs tend to elude ears
But I wanna be the rapper that you hear
And it's just another late night
Writing to remain alright
I'm always looking for the right moment so it's my time to strike
I will never fake a smile
Got my pen so stay awhile
Give me one inch and I can promise you that I will take a mile
I turn 20 in the next few days
Trying to grab my life out of the light blue haze
But I'm stuck, caught in between these ropes
just my luck, but I don't need hope
I got plans that are gonna suffice for when i build up
Working everyday so I can provide a filled cup
Of energy, like a fresh brewed coffee
Adrenaline rush, like in poker when you draw kings
That's the feeling that everybody should live for
If we did, I bet everyone would give more
But that's beside the point, people need to find a joint
Feel a buzz so they never feel like they disappoint
That's nonsense
How you ever gonna learn to be a man who can say stuff that's honest
If you never live life through your own eyes
Just another opportunity flown by
And it's just another late night
Writing to remain alright
I'm always looking for the right moment so it's my time to strike
I will never fake a smile
Got my pen so stay awhile
Give me one inch and I can promise you that I will take a mile
With a third verse, trying to rehearse words
And I tend to always feel it even when my nerve hurts
A burglar couldn't steal my drive if he tried
To take my car, 'cause I am live with the rhymes
And I try most the time to do the best that i can
Always gotta be the man who is working on a plan
'Cause most people don't seem to understand
Why I have so many lyrics on the palm of my hands
They're just notes that I need to jaught down
To remind myself that I need not frown
Let the creativity flow through my veins
Get the relativity known to my name
And if the listens never come
Then at least I can say that I had a little fun
I give 110 in everything I do
Living to the end with the dreams I pursue
