my time (an optimistic rebuttal)

Ayo, this is one of those rare moments in my life
When the confident me is in charge
But I know me
And knowing me, I understand that
It will come to pass
And so I wrote this song
It goes nah-nah nah-nah nah-nah... (R-A-V!)

When I'm gone (R-av!)
Try put a smile on whenever you hear this song (uh)
Extend your arms
To the sky, project your palms (huh!)
Yesterday's behind you but the next day, pressure's on (uh!)
And so you gotta move right, even when it feel like there's no moves left
Don't confuse fear for pride, it's a nuisance (huh)
Put that bullshit aside, and then do this
Scan your view and decide what to do next

Uh
Yo, don't play the victim (nope)
Don't lose control, nor your soul for attention (no)
Fuck what they call you, move on and forget it (uh)
Your smiles prove them wrong
They will always regret shit and
Then they'll fade out out of your recollection
When your motion is forwards, success is

Constantly approaching in a toxic sea of roaches
When you're locked into a focus, they're impossible to notice
So, it's honestly all bogus
They can bark like they ferocious
Once your process is in progress, I can promise you, you won't miss

Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
(My time!)
(It goes tick, tock, tick, tock!) Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time! (Tick, tock, tick, tock!)
(Tick, tock, tick)
(My time!)
(Tick, tock, tick, tock!)

This is what it feels like (this is what real life feels like)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (whenever you feel down, realize)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (this is what real life)
This is what it feels like (feels like)

(Uh!)
(Uh! Uh! Yeah!)
Verse two

Nothing wrong with being sensitive, I'm sensitive, yes (yup)
Not to mention my debilitating penchant for stress
Nevertheless, try not let resentment persist (huh?)
It's too much of an investment where no exit exists (alright)
'Cause it's only a reflection of your insecurities
But not necessarily a reflection of what you'll achieve (nah)
Don't let no pressure pen your eulogy (yeah)
Or ever force you to question your true beliefs (no)
But if it does and you fall, stand up!
Understand what made you trip in the first place (stand up!)

Not every little hitch is an earthquake
So when you feel your world shake
Don't put your hands up
Asking is one thing, finding out's another
Bearing this in mind, get your answers (yeah)

Yeah, evade the hivemind
Foresight aided by my hindsight (uh)
Splash paint all outside defined lines
I won't wait for my time, I'll make my time mine!

Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
(My time!)
(It goes tick, tock, tick, tock!) Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time! (Tick, tock, tick, tock!)
(Tick, tock, tick)
(My time!)
(Tick, tock, tick, tock!)

This is what it feels like (this is what real life feels like)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (whenever you feel down, realize)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (this is what real life)
This is what it feels like (feels like)
