Late Night

I'm tryna live my passion
My own guide for my first steps
Creating a strong name for myself
Stick to the end goal
Cause I need a plan of action

18 years young now, arrogant
So many questions, single-digit answers
Ego getting the best of me
Hard to stay down to earth
Writing down these verses

Gratitude for my parents
The ones who always believed in my talents,
Times pass, don't forget the value in those brief moments
Even under pressure, staying strong like diamonds

We tend to create our own problems
Living life gracefully, chasing money indefinitely
The family sleeping anxiously, for what
Becoming our own victims

Acquiring debt, starting to think different
Starting to feel alone and neglected
Self-worth is at an all-time low
Need to feel resurrected, questioning their purpose

Escape it through the bottles
Drinking it away, yeah sinking away
No one to check in, just self-medicate
Living alone, too late, lights out, reaching heaven's gates

Going on a night drive, thankful for a good life
Life is a gamble, all my life's fate is betting on a roll of the dice
One red light, wrong turn you could be dead or alive

Lately, every text has a reason
Hearing back the least from the ones you hold nearest
Shit feels like a transaction, seeming so distant
The blame is persistent

Judgments from too many voices
One percent seems to always be the loudest
The only opinion I need is
From my role models, loved ones, and my mentor

All the flaws, flip into advantage
Never stay low, even when life is shit
Speak my truth through the verses
Stay grateful, strive for greatness
Never to be average,

Never try to be average
Our path is ours man Nah
Never try to be average
