I am speaking from the privilege to waste I have eaten not for hunger but for taste My predicament has changed Counting pennies to accounts amounting plenty Spend it like it's never ending, never saved I learned how to misbehave Long before I learned my lesson Slow forgetting, quick repeating, answer seekin' Like Punjabi's in the house Burnt decisions came from instances of doubt I mean, what this all about? Friend to foe, foe to friend And so it go Evil or I got my hand out to extend As for handouts I don't lend I been there for lots of people When they need you, they around When time they equal, they depart I take that straight to my heart Contemplated thinking everyone's the same But, in the end it only changes who you are As for I, I will remain I'm the summon of my past and my present What's the combo Make me run, I take my pleasure with my pain Take some hurt to make a mark Only difference from a stain is how you see it I just work to turn my blemishes to art If you never had a dream you thought would happen start collapsin' And your passion keep you building, why you crackin' Well my friend, you'd never live Well my friend, you'd never live If you never loved somebody and with time you start to hate them Then with time you realise you can't replace them Well my friend, you'd never live Well my friend, you'd never live I remember when I first felt that feeling of rejection I was waiting on an answer, she was out of the question Then I bagged another batter that's ain't out of my league She came out of that retirement to bat Best believe, people social I was hopeful based on nothing but my vocals, what's a crutch Break a leg, wish me luck, yes indeed I took knocks to confidence to build this monument to dreams Now I laugh at the path I thought I never would achieve 'Cause now all I do is travel when I never thought I'd leave It's a trip, left my past, bag is checked, and extra bags Manifested we'll fly and we collab Everyday I count my blessings Stressed, I don't forget to add Though, I tried, I learned I can't just take the good without the bad Simple math and next fall I won't ignore and skip a class And attendance with remembrance, I might end this as a grad At the top I won't forget all of the drop kids took to pass Life ain't perfect, but it's worth it I don't have to check the tag Fill my bag If you never had a dream you thought would happen start collapsin' And your passion keep you building, why you crackin' Well my friend, you'd never live Well my friend, you'd never live If you never loved somebody and with time you start to hate them Then with time you realise you can't replace them Well my friend, you'd never live Well my friend, you'd never live I tend to walk with angels Stroll through that park with demons Hand in my pocket in case they clocking they won't stop my angle They try to throw that shade though That's okay I go with raincoats Over my head no halo But over ahead that rainbow I can't complain though I got Drāno for my pipe dreams Strike that, water under bridge with lightning It won't fright me I just lay low Come back with something fatal Kill mo' I just alter angles Life try to spite me and despite I still invite that fighting Stay in the rain for the good bout Team on deck that's a lookout Share my meal that's a cookout Any man try to block way got took out Got clearway from the hearsay I don't hear talk 'til a year late And by then don't matter, what's chatter in the wind forecast on a clear day I just want to keep my focus Sleep knowing that I won't blow this Yeah I got doubts but I know this'll always pull through when defeat get closest I just want to roll with the punches Want to pose and poke holes in my lungs and If you can't accept it and forgive Well my friend you'd never live
