Tabula Rasa

Tabula rasa
Slate clean out the mud
It's time to rise up
It's time to rise above
You want the best for me
But really that's what I want
I wanna fly away but they clipped my wings
So I'm puttin all my energy right back into me
It's Tabula rasa

Come along fly away with me
We can chase our dreams
Take a trip through the past and the present
We can see what the future brings
But life isn't guaranteed
Can't let the past catch up to me
History repeats its self
I'll be damned if I get shelved
Before I even reach the tip of the iceberg
Put my pain in this work
For what it's worth
Self care, mind blank, completely unaware
To Tell the truth I ain't even scared
Nah I'm petrified, completely terrified, twisted visions dancing through the night
Substances and drug poisoned every drop of my blood
And everything I love, like I don't give a fuck
Leave em cryin in the dust.
Personally I ain't nothing but an average joe though
Even though I'm buy all these Trues and Polos
For some recognition on the low low
Actions speak loud, done a lot of shit that I ain't to proud to admit
But my past don't define who I am now
Tryna turn it all around, I finally put the drugs down
Tabula rasa lemme wipe the slate clean now

Tabula rasa
Slate clean out the mud
It's time to rise up
It's time to rise above
You want the best for me
But really that's what I want
I wanna fly away but they clipped my wings
So I'm puttin all my energy right back into me
It's Tabula rasa

Finally Im completely stripped of all of these
Thoughts in my head that are all preconceived
No more memories of the old me when I was only 23
Roaming through the streets at a quarter past three
Constant misery, is this indefinitely my fate? My final destiny?
It's a battle within between the man that I am, and that man that I wanna be
From rags to riches all the back to the bottom of the trenches
I'm within inches of my life
I'd try suicide, but I ain't tryna have that pain reside
Deep inside my momma tear drops swelling in her eyes
I'm tryna bring my demons to life
And slit they throat with the knife that they left hanging out my back
Cause I ain't going back to my past
Tent city, storage unit living, IV crystal, grimy and gritty
You can spare the pity, cause I don't regret any
Not a thing that I did, and I tell you that I did plenty
Chiseling my legacy, I think I got the remedy
Living in pure bliss, this is ecstasy!

Tabula rasa
Slate clean out the mud
It's time to rise up
It's time to rise above
You want the best for me
But really that's what I want
I wanna fly away but they clipped my wings
So I'm puttin all my energy right back into me
It's Tabula rasa

Tabula rasa
Slate clean out the mud
It's time to rise up
It's time to rise above
You want the best for me
But really that's what I want
I wanna fly away but they clipped my wings
So I'm puttin all my energy right back into me
It's Tabula rasa
