Lately

Why is it that everything that I've been hearing lately
Got me distracted, this feeling is driving me crazy
Know that I'm going to make it, I don't care how long it takes me
Holding tightly to the soul I have with hopes it saves me
I can see the blessings on the other side
Know that I'll keep checking in to see if you're alive
Ima need another pencil if I'm writing wrongs
Think I'm on the right road, lets go for a drive

I've spent a lot of days with you in my mind
I've been praying for a change, god I need a sign
I just put in so much work, building on my dreams
So tell me if you're down for me or if you're switching sides
Lately I'm told that I'm acting like a different guy
Well the one before me was lazy and he didn't try
I was sleeping on my self, I needed to wake up
Half the things that I allowed, no longer let it slide
You thought Id let it slide
But I had switched the vibe
Needed opportunities to build a newer life
Maybe you were right
Maybe I was right
Feel I need to give my head a break from fight or flight
And I'll adjust my sights
I'll take a breath and pull the trigger on my dreams
Cause they say I'm not getting nothing right
It's cutting with a knife
I need some new advice
Cause if you tell me not to do it I'm going to do it twice

Why is it that everything that I've been hearing lately,
Got me distracted, this feeling is driving me crazy
Know that I'm going to make it, I don't care how long it takes me
Holding tightly to the soul I have with hopes it saves me
I can see the blessings on the other side
Know that I'll keep checking in to see if you're alive
Ima need another pencil if I'm writing wrongs
Think I'm on the right road, lets go for a drive

Mabey I just need to go for a drive
To open my mind
My dream is where the stars are and now both of them shine
I look for a sign, I know ill be fine
The food and water that I consume it has helped me align
No longer looking behind, I'm no longer wasting my time
My circle refined and became one of a kind
All the people I trust you wouldn't find if you tried again
I have set a standard for my self and now no one's trying him
I am moving up
I've been facing way to much is what I've been told when I'm moving up
Holding on to the hope that I have for my self when I'm losing love
Yeah this path that I took has me down in the dirt, now I'm losing trust
But I can't give up

Why is it that everything that I've been hearing lately,
Got me distracted, this feeling is driving me crazy
Know that I'm going to make it, I don't care how long it takes me
Holding tightly to the soul I have with hopes it saves me
I can see the blessings on the other side
Know that I'll keep checking in to see if you're alive
Ima need another pencil if I'm writing wrongs
Think I'm on the right road, lets go for a drive
Why is it that everything that I've been hearing lately,
Got me distracted, this feeling is driving me crazy
Know that I'm going to make it, I don't care how long it takes me
Holding tightly to the soul I have with hopes it saves me
I can see the blessings on the other side
Know that I'll keep checking in to see if you're alive
Ima need another pencil if I'm writing wrongs
Think I'm on the right road, lets go for a drive
