Nearsighted

[Intro]
It's like it's a beautiful thing, man
Like every second is an opportunity, you know?
Just whether you cash in on that, the window never closes
Look...

[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning and I'm thankful that I'm still alive
Never complacent with this hunger that I feel inside
No swishers, no herb, when tryin' to fill our high
Not a man govern by urges but what I feel aside
Tryin' to learn something new, absorb it all in
That's what I do and I'm all in
Cause I'm comfortable in my own skin
I try to give you the truth, they looking at me like, "come again"
Once again, I'm a man with flaws
But understand it y'all: we all have things we can practise on
Yeah and I'm sure we've all been there
Time to prove there's more behind my words than thin air
The greatest award follows the hardest struggle
That's what I keep telling myself
So, excuse me if what you say gets ignored
I'm just focused on me and not everyone else... I'm sorry!

[Hook]
I can't see past my own nose
I know I have my own flaws
I can only see what's in front of me
Why they looking at me like, "what's been up with me?"

[Verse 2]
What's been up with me lately? I don't know
I'm just focused on beats, paving my own road
Yeah... I plan to stay in my own zone
No self examination – you won't grow
I take time out of every day, I focus on mistakes I made
Tryin' to grind out every way, cause life is a paper chase
I'm sick of running this hamster wheel
Thinking it'll all pay off one day
And fuck all this rapping skill
I'm in St. Johns going the wrong way down a one way
I feel like I'm in need of my homies
And everybody keeping me closely
But, obviously I owe an apology
To everybody thinking they know me... so, I'm sorry!

[Hook]
I can't see past my own nose
I know I have my own flaws
I can only see what's in front of me
Why they lookin' at me like, "What's been up with me?"

[Verse 3]
So stuck in my own world but worst of all
I ain't tryin' to place hurt on y'all, nah...
If you know me then you learn my flaws
And I promise I'ma work on returning cause
I feel so bogged down
No job doesn't mean no roadblocks but he won't stop now
Oh God, he's just on his soapbox now
He's an fiend for attention and that won't stop now, either
Think of all the leisure time he has
It's greedy as what they redefine me as
Selfish? I can take that, awesome
But it's all gonna pay back in the long run
I'll hit you back ASAP, we can talk, we can catch up
Either show me less love or wish me best luck
Either way we can pick up where we left off
When everything is different, you should just know... I'm sorry!

[Hook]
I can't see past my own nose
I know I have my own flaws
I can only see what's in front of me
Why they looking at me like, "What's been up with me?"

[Outro]
What's been up with me lately, man?
I do not know
I know it's time to prove there's more behind my words than thin air
Like I said...
And this is step one

*Hook repeats till end*
