It's a lot of things at once
Get it all off my mind little by little
Slowly but surely
That's right

Long run
Gotta get these thoughts out 'fore the song's done
Long run
I wanna get these thoughts out 'fore the song's done
Long run
Gotta get these thoughts out 'fore the song's done
Long run

Get my thoughts out 'fore the song's done
Thinking about the future - I'm here for the long run
If you think I'll flicker then you picked the wrong one
I took 'em back to Square One - that's just a mall run
Parents filled with pridе for the one they call son
Sacrificеs - just so we can have fun
That's what half their life is
I wanna pay 'em back
They say "be the best you and we're happy with that"
Wow
It's been a year already
2020 me was seeing clear already
It's reassuring, people cheer already
Faced fears, shed tears, still here all steady
But sometimes I needa relax
I be all up in my head and I'm needing it back
I tell myself: "Man, you don't even need to react
You're irritated but you could just leave it at that."
(Facts)
Yea I know, sometimes I'm so serious
My mind racing in conversation, I'm barely hearing it
I'm hypnotized by the drive so I'm steering it
Headed to the top of Maslow's Pyramid
Self-actualize
I'm more me now, so I don't have to disguise
More free now, I have to laugh at the lies
They speak in all cap that's how they capitalize
I ain't even buying it
Don't care who you lying with
I am in another zone
Raised in my mother's home
Got my girl with me and we building up another home
She's showing me loyalty that I've never known
I reciprocate that energy and it's set in stone
Told you that I'm here baby you've never left alone
Shows round the globe, I'll travel but I will never roam
Hope my words help, but I know some things are better shown
(Some things are better shown)
These days ain't nobody believing in love
But I swear half of y'all just be needing a hug
The other half? You'd rather be demons and thugs
Seething from your past hurt
I guess that be reason enough
Be honest and keep it a buck
This ain't no tea from the cup
This is out of body, just some things that I see from above
If you see a lie told then please interrupt
If I perceive it I'm speaking it up
Got a sneak peek of the peace that comes when you manifest
I do it to manage stress
So now you're seeing 2021 me at his best
The powers of believing I can put to the battle test
I ain't finna go to war, but I ain't finna play nice
Cuz "yesterday's price is not today's price"
That's word to Joey Crack
I'm headed to a place there ain't no going back
Wrote out my to-do list strong
I ain't thinking short term, I'm trying to do this long
Let's go
(page turn)
(exhale)
Yea
Yo

This the type of rhythm I need
I had to set the pace so I could get in my speed
Last time I just started getting into my dreams
I broke through limits like it was a prison I'm freed
Yes
Thankful for every minute I breathe
I'm thinking 'bout the obstacles, what didn't I see?
I'm taking it to the max, you can't minimize me
And I got tired of following - I figured I'd lead
Now I'm here, been a year, but it feels just like a day
Any fears getting near, meditate them all away
And I'm hitting milestones I celebrate them all the way
If I could talk to past me, I wonder what I'd call and say?
Show love to your friends and keep the family close
But don't wait for their opinions, yours matters the most
These the thoughts that circulate when I'm clearing my mind
Writing this up in The Room of Spirit & Time

Yo

Clock's tickin'
My patience running thin as soon as the plot thickens
Looking for results, I'm focused on my mission
Aware of all my traction so I'm never caught slippin'
I put in all the action and then I stopped wishin'
Had to do it different
I did this all from scratch and that's how it stopped itchin'
Picturing possibilities - I changed my lens
And if they can't see ya vision then, they not friends
And it's funny cuz the key is just to stay locked in
I swear I used to do the least like I paid off rent
But now I own this moment, it could be my last
The end is the end, it don't arrive too fast
And the past is behind us, future never finds us
Ironic how we need more time to make this timeless
These days I'm evermore in alignment
Speaking on my principles, treat this like an assignment
Move the mountain then climb it
Staring at the hourglass, I know I can't rewind it
If you want peace, inside is where you'll find it
No need to go far cuz it's really right near
Hope you feel me right here
Reflections in the mirror get really quite clear
When I know tomorrow could be the day that I disappear
You got something real? Better live it everyday
Cuz the only guarantee is that the time will pass anyway
