about

The 4th track of my upcoming debut album ARRIVAL, about battling low morale and believing in yourself in the face of adversity.

lyrics

Lately I don’t know anymore
Got no direction to go
My soul is telling me I’m supposed to step forward
And have to step on it cuz accidents happen, act like you know
I might be wasting my time, creating craziest rhymes & rhyme schemes, though as my mind please, that’s what I’m doing
People gaming, staying inside, we always finetuning
But the tune is never fine, and we do this every night
Always hide behind the “soons”, “something to do” & all the lies
But ay
We all people, we all need something to make our feet go
& the journey never done
Always something next to come
It’s just a sequel
So best not to run
Or stress to mess up
I can’t stress that enough
Just
Let it unfold, that’s how I saw it first
But now I’m getting older & I’ve learned that
You can’t stress your shit, hope for the best or try to make the best of it
But if you really want something
Go for it, don’t run from it

Not anymore, not anymore
I’m done with people telling me to just take it slow
Sick of people saying that I’ve reached a KO
Cuz I’ll be OK man, either way it go
And I don’t know if I was made for this, playfulness, everyday I wish that I could know.
Never be leaving my belief in my dream
But knowing? No I don’t

Lately I don’t know anymore
What am I doing it for?
I feel as stupid as a junior, before
I was making these tracks, beats packed with heat, sweet facts, liquorish, but is it actually me?
Felt like art’s extraordinary, really tells who you are
But it also feels so arbitrary now, just look at the stars
And if I ain’t got guts, I know I’ll never lose heart
Everybody wants you to listen to their vision, I’m too smart
It’s a couple of pains, cuz that’s who I am. Lately feel like I’m the same, as everyone else. And I just can’t take it no more.
But I can’t stress my shit, hoping for the best so I can make the best of it. And yeah I really want something. So f*ck what they say, I won’t run from it

Not anymore, not anymore
I’m done with people telling me to just take it slow
Sick of people saying that I’ve reached a KO
Cuz I’ll be OK man, either way it go
And I don’t know if I was made for this, playfulness, everyday I wish that I could know.
Never be leaving, my belief in my dream
But knowing? No I don’t
