Motions
I don't wanna go
Through the motions
Another moment
I wish time was frozen
And I gotta listen
And pay attention
Before I miss it
I work up early this morning
And took a run by the street
An unaffectionate lesson
Can bring the best out of me
So I've been asking the question
Of who I'm destined to be
A simple thought in my head
Of assimilation will breed
"Do I got what it takes?"
"Am I popping out hits?"
"Is my marketing straight?"
"Where's the profit in this?"
I'm at my crossroad
Hidden hill valley by the sea
Every time my phone rings
Someone's needing me
Stealing me from paradise
Of solidarity
Deep inside my head I wonder
"Who's aware of me?"
My name been in the pages
We running round the stages
A story for the ages
But feel as if I'm changing
But who could really blame me?
I'm busy entertaining
Umbrella when it's raining
The bougie kind of life
They saying that we did it
My head ain't really in it
My heart ain't really with it
It's screwing with my mind
But suck it up buttercup
You chose this kind of life
I don't wanna go
Through the motions
Another moment
I wish time was frozen
And I gotta listen
And pay attention
Before I miss it
Working 9-5 and turning tables
Music dreams were fairy tales and fables
Soul connecting, wonder if I'm able?
Soul rejected, then mind became unstable
Pondering life, tip toeing on ice
Every day is a risk
I'm daily rolling the dice
My body is paying the price
My heart is racing at night
Her arm is holding me tight
I'm holding onto the light
And now I'm
Working 9-5 and writing verses
Looking back on turning tables nervous
See that kid who wondered if he's worth it
Now he's on this mic inside his purpose
Never going back, never looking back
I can see the sky open wide on a new day
Picnic blankets and a baby drinking kool-aid
A simple paradise in my head that I can never
Attain because the hustle in my heart will now
Forever sustain, I'm cursed by it
I'm at a crossroad
Don't know which way to go
I think I need a moment
To stop going through the motions
Don't call up my phone
I need a minute alone
I gotta figure out the purpose
Of everything that I'm learning
Through the motions
Another moment
I wish time was frozen
And I gotta listen
And pay attention
Before I miss it
I work up early this morning
And took a run by the street
An unaffectionate lesson
Can bring the best out of me
So I've been asking the question
Of who I'm destined to be
A simple thought in my head
Of assimilation will breed
"Do I got what it takes?"
"Am I popping out hits?"
"Is my marketing straight?"
"Where's the profit in this?"
I'm at my crossroad
Hidden hill valley by the sea
Every time my phone rings
