[Verse 1]
About fifteen months since I left home
Since I chose to leave the only life I'd ever known
For 19 years: I was tryna chase my destiny
What I thought was meant for me thought I had the perfect recipe
But now, my mind's crowded, been clouded with way too many thoughts
I tried to rain on instrumentals just to shake it off
But everyday is a constant battle with feeling lost
I can't help but feel as if I lost the plot
So as it thickens, I'm living deep in confusion
Surface level chilling means I'm presenting illusions:
Delusions that make it seem like I know what I'm doing
But in seclusion, I'll admit it's hard to prove it
Yet I refuse to let stress render me useless
Right now I'm not so fluid cause the flu's hit
But the truth is, my sanity lives in music
So I keep on going though happiness seems elusive
I'mma keep on writing through the bad and the good
Trained myself to become the little engine that could
And though that comes with potentially going off the rails
Giving up is the only way I fail —
[Hook]
And so I'm gonna share my smiles, and I'mma share my plights
And embrace my wrongs just like I do my rights
And man, I'm missing home, I've been hurting too long
But time don't stand still, so you gotta move
On and on, and on and on, and on...
[Verse 2]
It's barely been a week since I pondered life's fragility
How easily we overestimate our own agility
And health — forgetting that a moment is all it takes
For d**h to come knocking and take it all away
And since nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
I know the music is a way to say all I can say
That's why I put my heart into it, dedicate this time and effort
Spill feelings on all these cuts before I fade
A week ago my homie was in a hospital bed
Telling us the doctor said he supposed to be dead
And he's alright now, but it blew my mind how
Reminders that only d**h is promised will quickly have us scared
The only certainty we have in life is that it ends
And now I'm thinking more carefully about how I spend
Every single last one of these precious moments
When I can no longer tell my story will people know it?
[Hook]
So I'll share my smiles, and I'mma share my plights
And I'll embrace my wrongs just like I do my rights
And man I'm missing home, I've been hurting too long
But time don't stand still, so you gotta move
On and on, and on and on, and on…
I said I'm gonna share my smiles, and I'mma share my plights
And I'll embrace my wrongs just like I do my rights
And man, I'm missing home, I've been hurting too long
But time don't stand still, so you gotta move
On and on, and on and on, and on…
[Outro]
I'mma fly away (x4)
Ndichabhururuka!
