New Year's Eve
Mark Edmond, if you didn't know...
No stable home, I'm back and forth living out my carry on
I need a place where I can call my own
I'm prone, to all types of shit
Trying not to think negative, but I can't resist
Feeling like a burden on the shoulder's of others
For me, a constant reminder, to get my shit together
I'm grown, but can't fend for myself
Sitting all alone, my pride won't let me, reach out for help
I know it's bad, but it's hard for me to ask
Shit, I rather suffer than to go through all of that
Plus, people got their own problems
Then, there's times those same people add to your problems
Make you wish you never told 'em
My mind's, all over the place
Death in the family, I hate going to wakes
And some say, you're young, and you got time
Like niggaz younger than me, is not dyin'
I'd be lying if I said that never crossed my mind
Plus, this shit is designed, to keep us in a bind
I got a lot of issues, that I'm dealing with
It's me, not you, that I must admit
She deserve better, a whole lot more
Not much I can offer, which makes me insecure
I think it's best for me to focus on myself
Might be a while before I'm back with someone else
Been up, ups turn to downs
Seen smiles, smiles turn to frowns
All cheers, cheers turn to tears
The good goes bad
Now, look at us, we glad
This life is hectic, leaving us no time to grieve
So, niggaz optimistic, like it's New Year's Eve
This life is hectic, leaving us no time to grieve
So, niggaz optimistic, like it's New Year's Eve
Like it's New Year's Eve
Optimistic like it's New Year's Eve
Like it's New Year's Eve
Optimistic like it's New Year's Eve
Made my bed, I gotta lay in it
Shit's uncomfortable, but at least I got a mattress
I take it all in stride, nigga, no excuses
Can't sleep, I'm up thinking of solutions
Standing on, my own ten toes
Outchea chasing goals
Not worrying 'bout no hos
Been a while since I brought some new clothes
Or got a haircut, and it shows
Right now, could use a helping hand
But I refuse to sit around and wait up on the next man
Never again
Before that, I'll flip burgers and fries
Be at the bus stop, 'til it arrives
One must have a vision
And understand it's for the time being
Even if it's only you believing
Can't take it personal either
Make it happen
They gon' tell everybody how, y'all went to school together
I can see it coming
Think they care, next thing you know they ask for something
Tell 'em no, then they get to plotting
Or express how they really felt since the beginning
Far from bitter, but y'all never gave me nothing
Been up, ups turn to downs
Seen smiles, smiles turn to frowns
All cheers, cheers turn to tears
The good goes bad
Now, look at us, we glad
This life is hectic, leaving us no time to grieve
So, niggaz optimistic, like it's New Year's Eve
This life is hectic, leaving us no time to grieve
So, niggaz optimistic, like it's New Year's Eve
Like it's New Year's Eve
Optimistic like it's New Year's Eve
Like it's New Year's Eve
Optimistic like it's New Year's Eve
Like it's New Year's Eve
No stable home, I'm back and forth living out my carry on
