Flashbackz

I’m giving everything I got and I’m giving more
Waking up everyday like I know what I’m living for
What am I destined to write for, erase it and try more
Will we ever get it together and not divide more?
Still on a long road and forgetting I called home
They know I’m doin it for the people I love most
The second my mind roams, have I delayed my plans
Doing the best I can, shaking like every hand
What good is a leader if he’s away from his kids
It got wondering about what makes a man within
Only one life live? the pressures getting to me
I spent the last couple years on this dream that am pursuin’
Lifes truly a movie and were hoping for a sequel
Theres is no difference between us all I’m seeing is people
Still looking up at the sky, thankful that I’m alive
Steppin in the door, tell mama that I’ve arrived, lets go

Sitting in class reflectin’ like I really made it
But I’m looking around and i’m feeling so separated
So I’m spacing, and facing the class, like I need to speak up
Mind racing so fast and doing anything to keep up
Maybe out of place, study for days to get a grade
I wasn’t fully prepared but I learned to make a way
But things change, no longer wantin’ to fit in
Hopin’ it reaches somebody in seats I used to sit in
This is my life ima live it could never digress
When try they put you down get up its all but a test
Its crazy what we go thru in a matter of years
Dedicate this to my peers who are no longer here
Eliminating my fears and I won’t take it for granted
Despite those who love me or hate me man I’m takin advantage
Wonder how am able to manage, all the stress I’m in
I gotta keep it together cause I’m envisioning
Reaching the top of the totem, got so much more to go
Seeing different perspectives I never saw that before
Many things I don’t know and so I’m constantly learning
Jotting it down on this bus as the planet keep turning
Thinking back to old friends, like back in the day
I tried to show em the way, they just couldn’t keep straight
Never made it out the city so we parted ways
A couple of years later I see him in the front page
I hope to god that it wasn’t him
Like man he just had a kid
And so I’m constantly grindin, or just partially rhyming
Life coming at me sideways but i gotta keep climbing
Till i reach the peak, somebody ask me
How do you believe
What you can’t see
Something i can’t see?
Man nothing i can’t be
