Intro:
there isnt always clear journey for an artist
As a creator, you must also... create your own path
Create your own course...manifest your own destiny
At times you can be scared, And that fear can hold you back....
But sometimes, that fear, can also drive you...
Verse 1:
Hyperaware as I pass through this atmosphere
no set path even though I got my atlas near
You’d think by now i’d have a grasp on my rap career
But my futures lookin fuzzy, while my past is clear
Dont go back, there’s only sadness there
dont hold back, you gotta mask the fear
of knowin that, the destination on this roadmap may not be so bold, you gotta mold it to your own track
Lets hope that, we can stand on our own two
dance when we can, make a grand if we want to
plans with the fam, jam with the band, grams with ya friends, common sense, and a girl to go home to
Manifest our destinys, this game you be the referee
Callin out the shots, roadblocks are the necessities
obstacles are lessons, testin if we count our blessings
Money with no loves, like a salad with no dressin
So if happy go lucky, i guess sadly know nothin
Like some carry on luggage, Ima carry on lovin
Good badly or ugly, I would rather own nothin
Than be packed with no substance, with a knack for no nothin
What a wacky old soul, with a nappy old noggin
talkin happy old jargon, I can lap ya flow joggin
I’m laughing, no problem, it’s funny to me
that even with all of the clouds, this shits sunny to me
Hook:
What if I never find my way...
terrified If I try I wont survive,
But if im safe, walkin straight my paths confined
Be mindful of lifes long dark days
they keep confusing me, I know this path is choosing me
designs take time, no more questions about who to be...
Verse 2:
Whether rain snow sleet, aint no reigns on me
Cant constrain these feet, with a brain so free
gotta tame these beasts, to maintain my pace
when its all said and done, ima state my case
I had to back track a little just to get ahead
I had a bad rap since I was a little kid
But I was passed that, tested out the waters like a lab rat
guess curiosity aint always kill the cat
Facts, are subjective, you gotta ask questions
Come back and double check it
Better yet reject it, And give some credit to you
Cause where credit gets paid, is where credit is due
All while remaining humble, mental royal rumble
the ego can be evil, make scarlet take a tumble
Im just tryna find a balance, n use that method to live
it can be easy to get, sometimes it better to give
So if happy go lucky, I guess sadly know nothin
Like some carry on luggage, Ima carry on lovin
Good badly or ugly, I would rather own nothin
Than be packed with no substance, with a knack for no nothin
theres a long ways to go, and some harder days to manage
im just tryna make a point, hope yall respect my vantage
cause my camera stays candid, and my manner aint planned
see this damsel aint stranded, I can hear the plane land
Hook:
What if I never find my way...
terrified If I try I wont survive,
But if im safe, walkin straight my paths confined
Be mindful of lifes long dark days
they keep confusing me, I know this path is choosing me
designs take time, no more questions about who to be...
