lyrics

Empty picture frames, walking on broken glass,
You need to stop and think, if you’re living life too fast,
Just cause the light is green, don’t mean you have to go,
Sometimes it’s cool to just stop and then take it slow,
I don’t know what I’m doing anymore,

I check my watch, it’s still ticking, so I’m still on time,
Reach for my heart, I feel it bumping, so it’s beating fine,
I blink and look up at the sky, and I can see it clear,
Guess it’s a reason for me being here,
Yeah, I say I don’t know what I’m doing, but for real, I kinda do,
Cause tryna please God and other people is impossible,
I try to live good, and wait on my instruction,
But these people put the pressure on, that’s when I get to rushin,
It’s hard enough to live inside your own body, when you’re feeling like a nobody,
So take it back a couple steps and see what you need to hold,
Before you crash after swerving and driving out of control,
And I know it, there’s a light at the end of my tunnel,
But it’s hard to see the light when surrounded by struggle,
Is it hustle cause you tryna sing a different song,
Or get the money cause you tryna put your people on,

Look in the mirror and I don’t see myself looking back,
In fact, I’m staring through future tent, not looking back,
Looking forward to where I wanna be, not where I’m at,
Time elapses slow, feelin trapped, forced to relax and reflect on days I was on deck,
Tryna get on base, tryna get respect,
Somehow I lost my way, fell off with the pad,
Then in my past were a couple lessons I couldn’t grasp, until I recognized,
I was all vision, no grind, looking dumb, now, I’m working overtime,
And overtime, I learned to live this life,
And overtime, maybe I’ll get a few things right,
Right now is all I have, living in the present,
Gotta slow it down, or be gone in a second,
Look around my room, see a few books and loose change,
An old Polaroid, I should use it to fill up,

Sometimes I wanna ask myself,
Is this what you wanted,
Think back when I was 18,
Would I be disappointed,
Now Momma can’t make me feel better,
All I want is the real,
Cause when you go all out, chance you flow all out,
Back to sand cause the time aint still.
