Inspired by Hopsin and Lupe Fiasco (‘don't k** yourself' God says) Dark matter with my thoughts scattered The height of ignorace is thinking that the world's ours It's got me crying in the shower And hiding in the shadows When I was young I had visions of a better world Thought I could achieve it by reciting a couple words So I, meditate till I have no mind I'm at peace you can't have mine Decorate me in shine till you go blind Every time i open my mind My thoughts flow in circles While time crawls like a turtle We're drowning in the fountain of youth Surrounded by dollars confusing it for power I've never felt this sh** before Things changed and it happened quickly You never did know which road to go It's like you rode the boat and sailed away and hoped to hit the golden coast But you sank like the Titanic The incident, it left your life damaged, and that's when I panicked You thought you had it locked Homie you ain't even on the right planet If you wanna live life right, plan it I should've stopped you when I had the chance to do so But back then I had felt like that was too bold You started hanging with new folks, and made the drug environment your new home I really hate to stress it But you were strange to mess with So i kept my distance because you always had this blank expression Like you're confused and unaware of you're surroundings So you cut life short and ended it abruptly This world is too cold, could i have prevented it, who knows? Son't judge me because you don't you know me I'm mad at the world cuz it took away my homie You should have made your choices wisely f**ing with poison ivy Without your partying what would your point in life be It's always a struggle to get your a** to listen You really hurt me with all your bad decisions I always warned you about taking the wrong path But you didn't listen till the fire burned your a** Assorted memories from my childhood Got me depressed but feeling good I'm free in this world but a prisoner in my own head I've Come so far, seen so much I cannot settle for “good enough” So I'll sweat and I'll climb until I reach my prime My motivation rises and falls again Through it all, I'll reach the end In my heart, there's a light and it takes me higher We're going up, we're going up Next level, next floor I'm ready for it I've been waiting all my life When I meet my lord I don't wanna be accepted not at all as i am Let my sins sink in the quicksand “how does the whole world in your hand sound?” Dance, it's a new life! Every time i close my eyes I think about the sky For sure a genius being designed it But you'd rather deny it I'm Shooting for the moon, even if I miss I'll be among the stars Backstroke in my pool of thought but don't mind the sharks Ab-solar system intergalactic soldier Trapped in a game where the trap is the dunya Scope this horror, Aquariuses make it rain here No love for your honor, only God can judge us Or If you're m**m, Allah, I've had it up to my collar With these people castin' stones like this Mancala Proceed to the next level, dig that with a platinum shovel Black magic, matter of fact, if matter is fact A matter factory is in the making perhaps Uh, erase your database We race against time, no time to set a date Too cool for school, unloose the noose and Proceed to the next level I've Come so far, seen so much I cannot settle for “good enough” So I'll sweat and I'll climb until I reach my prime My motivation rises and falls again Through it all, I'll reach the end In my heart, there's a light and it takes me higher We're going up, we're going up Next level, next floor I'm ready for it I've been waiting all my life
