[Verse 1]
You don’t know what I’ve been through
Man, I really got issues
Aren’t we all so quick to judge
Try walk around in these shoes
What’s life about? Win or lose
Right or wrong / Ain’t it right?
It ain’t easy to pick and choose
Thought I had it all figured out
Tryna win a battle I was bound to lose
For what it’s worth, I was working out
What it is, I was tryna prove
Ain’t got nothing to lose
I’m giving it all that I’ve got
Life’s like a Friday night
So why not just give it a shot
Think I can take a hit
Gimme just a little bit
Of time to take control
I’m writing up a movie script
Well now it’s 3 in the morning and I’m still wide awake
Light a cigarette now my mind is still up for debate
Guess I’ll just leave it to fate and live another day
I like awake in the cold with a heart full of hate
[Chorus]
With a heart full of hate
On a journey to the west
I’m going out of my mind
Won’t you give me a sign?
God, won’t you give me a sign?
Won’t you give a sign?
I’m going out of my mind
With a heart full of hate
On a journey to the west
I’m running out of time
I’m going out of my mind
Won’t you give me a sign?
Won’t you give me a sign?
God, won’t you give me a sign?
I’m going out of my mind
[Verse 2]
So back track when I rapped with a backpack
“Get stack” was the motto with the rat pack
“In Flight” took off like a jet pack
Been sleeping on me? Better grab that
Ain’t got no time for these wack cats
And no, I don’t give a damn
‘Cos on the low I’ve been on a roll
I’m on the road for the honor roll
When really I should be in search of a soul
But lately I’ve been busy digging for gold
So, will you tell me what is truly the goal?
I’ve lost sight of what’s wrong and right
I’ve been shut blind by this limelight
By this limelight / Damn right
It’s a fine night
Air tight / In flight / Damn right
I’ve lost sight of what’s wrong and right
I’ve been shut blind by this limelight
I’m on a journey to the west
In search of myself
I just wanna be the best
The best for myself
Myself
‘Cos I only want the best
The best for myself
