"Still searching for them glory days he never had..."
As a young kid playing ball in the streets with my nose runny
I dreamed of what I'd become to be, hopefully an intelligent man with money
But as my age advances success seems less probable
This in turn makes my emotions more volitale
It's difficult to keep control
Feeling as though I'm on the outside looking in through a peephole
Trying to progress in life and break this mental sleeper hold
I wish that when I was younger somebody would've told me
That life isn't as easy as you think it's supposed to be
So many people plot and scheme to come up on their own version of the American Dream
At a standstill trying to pick up steam but it's more difficult than swimming upstream
It makes me wonder how some people make it on their own, no help
Struggling to find strength to strive within myself
I'm alive and free, so should I really be miserable?
The actions of family and friends make me wonder if love really is unconditional
As I move closer to becoming a grown man
I can't help but think that life dealt me a bad hand
"Worries of failure..."
"Can't help but feel hopeless..."
I'm only sure of one thing that being nothing lasts forever
Times change quickly like Chicago weather
It's a trip, sometimes I can't face the man in the mirror
This can't be life, God must've made some sort of error
Sometimes these lyrics I write help to hide this pain inside
Feelin' worthless, like I'm just living to die
Open up your mind as we take a trip through mine
With my thoughts always racing it's like I need a mental stop sign
Maybe I'm just a lost soul, trapped in time
Without confidence it's hard to prevail
This world is corrupted, we all have terrible stories to tell
But for the state of society who is to blame?
A nation ruled by money is as bad as a nation ruled by Hussien
Maybe we can change
But fuck the world because I first need to fix the problems in my own brain
Holding out hope and waiting for the rain to turn to sunshine
Going downhill on a steady incline
"...reach for the stars..."
"You, better do what you gotta do..."
