All i ever seem to feel is frustration
adjacent to the dream that i'm chasing
facing the fact that i'm not that dope
self doubt, selling out, trading in my hope
for negative mindsets, the mic gets trashed
and I get smashed, forget to write tracks
my raps don't catch, the mic gets axed
next time maybe I should focus on the cash
procrastinate and become a hater
make up excuses why I am a failure
all of the time I said i'd do it later
should've been in touch with the main motivator
wait a minute, fates a litte bit of a bitch
but which situation would you currently switch?
pick up the pieces i've thrown away
sitting at home on my own today
is as good a time as any to get it back together
stop reacting, instead start planning my actions
my passion is music, so it's about fucking time I used it
the truth is, dedication is fleeting
and often I feel like i'm underachieving
competing in the bogus hocus pocus about who's the dopest
then
I remember that I wrote this and my hope is reignited
cos I might just have the fight inside I idolised
revitalised, I decide to write a rhyme
inspired by the idea that my ears might clear
and the rhythm right here might make the crowd cheer
this is your life,
it's my life
so live it now,
this is your life,
you only get one life
so step into the spotlight
I sit listenin, still driftin, siftin
on a mission to deliver my vision
but i'm blind, need a guide to wake me
break me from the shackles, shake me up
take me on a ride to get the ball rollin'
cos the fire inside has been stolen
now i'm pedalling this cycle of self denial
the more I keep riding the more I get tired
sp uninspired, somebody tell me why,
is it because I ain't done shit with my life?
a wise man heard this, he said "the purpose of life is a life of purpose"
and I thought 'maybe that's why I felt worthless'
i'd make it work if i persevered
through the fear and the apathy
now i've got a strategy to reach in the cavity, break out of the gravity
that'll be the day that I deliver on my dreams
now free to be what I always wanted to be
dismissing the resistance and shifting positions
now
i'm in the mix it's just a matter of persistence
I know i'll go the distance,
driven by the wisdom of those who are with this
this is the path for greatness to grow
the dizzying highs to the perilous lows
you only get one shot at living and greatness ain't given
on a platter, as a matter of fact
you gotta shatter the barriers that are holding you back
i've got a plan of attack
and this track is a testament to that
this is your life,
it's my life
so live it now,
this is your life,
you only get one life
so step into the spotlight
