Verse:
I never have been lucky
Though I thought that I was in control
Whenever my classmates studied
I was skipping school with my buddies to get stoned
I discovered my passion
Which lead me down this road
But it’s not what I imagined
And now that I made it, I feel that it’s not home
I don’t know what to do, see I love my team
But I don’t know whether to keep pursuing a stupid dream
Don’t get me wrong all this hype is good for my self-esteem
And without it I could’ve never become the man that I'm proud to be
Yet to get to the present I’ve done unpleasant things
Always picking a fight, known as lord of the rings
So many stories, I don’t know where to begin
But now I know it’s different, I’m certain I feel it within
When I fast forward I can see incredible wins
But on the other hand, with what I’ve done, I’m scared of my sins
‘cause when I rewind to the B-times, I let down my chin
But I think, whenever we find any way to get in a group, we do anything to get in
Chorus:
I’m on the top of the mountain
and I can’t go back
Do I need luck or ambition
to take the leap?
Am I in need of attention
or do I really wanna be left alone
Think I need some direction
For someone to lead me home
Verse:
I’m hardly getting any sleep
Contemplating the situation
Every night, I've been sweating through my sheets
Now I reek due to my new found hesitation
I’m in the belly of a beast
If only I was back in my folks’ basement
I wouldn’t be thinking of plan B
Or even consider to be bitter ‘bout what I’m making
But I gotta pick up myself, can't even pretend I don't want to achieve
When the matter of fact is, I wanna practice until I believe
That I can do anything that I want to, whether or not I’mma get a degree
The clock will be ticking but I’m on a mission we’re late, but I’m ready to pull up my sleeve
And I can see we’ve been walking around numb
Worshipping the wrong sun, like we’re as dumb as the Teletubbies
Many have tried to define fun
But I found that it couldn’t be done, trying to relate to everybody
But I can make a difference
And so can anyone of you
Speaking my mind is a privilege
For which reason I’mma keep doing what I do
Speak up ‘cause your words could be
As significant as MLK having a dream
Any input lost, is another defeat
So I would recommend you to paint a picture and preach
To anybody listening when you be giving a speech
Whether you’re back at home, or walking around, following streets
Or working late, struggling, just to make ends meet
I do the same but then again, that’s me
So just follow your feet and homie you’ll be happy to
Or maybe not with a pocket of blue attitudes
But if you smile you’re ready to walk the mile
Now you could end up in denial or on Utopian Avenue
Bridge:
Don’t be alone
Reach out instead of being forever lost
Don’t believe that you can solve it on your own
Look around and seek comfort at any cost
We all need you
It should be all for one and one for all
We need to meet everyone as an equal
If one man trips, then the whole world falls
Chorus:
I’m on the top of the mountain
and I can’t go back
Do I need luck or ambition
to take the leap?
Am I in need of attention
or do I really wanna be left alone
Think I need some direction
For someone to lead me home
