All Clear - Itis (blue whale) lyrics

[Verse 1] Tropical vibe; that's just a side effect of the Senioritis I'm laying back and loving life it's Crazy to think it turned out like this Things are going great; taught a couple kids how to beatbox the other day Was offered a job where I used to ball, so I could finally say that I'm getting paid Things didn't work out, but hey it's all good; there's no shame I'm grateful these people believed in and supported me in the first place And so life goes on, and dang it goes by fast I'm frequently fly, redeeming my sk**s to build something that will last 'Cause one day I'm going to leave this world; in fact, I'm leaving one now Moving from one small pond to an ocean with a bit more of a crowd Which is a euphemism, to say the least But im excited and I can't believe That next year I'mma be in a place that I used to only see in dreams I've got a beat up lunchbox, with the logo on it to inspire Been carryin' that around since second grade, guess it's time for it to retire I don't know what there is ahead, and I'm living in the now Reminiscing on these past years, I know time won't let me down [Hook] They tried to offer me help, said I wouldn't make it by being me Said I wouldn't be able to prove myself, well I guess this is QED They told me that I needed help, that I shouldn't just be me Told me it'd be hard to prove myself, well I guess this is QED [Verse 2] I started from where Aubrey says he did I used to be that kid that never fit Always wanted to be the center of attention; since then, I've started payin' it Found a couple friends along the way, who stick with me even when I fall And in the fall, we're gonna be separated in one way but also not at all And best part of it all, is that I found some genes that fit me And im not talkin about the type that comes from Levi's or APC Got a mom, dad, and sister, cousins; yeah, that's the family Already heard about them in the last track, but hey, they've meant so much to me Life is a terminal; thankfully, my flight's been delayed to a later date While I'm here, I might as well just hang around and play some games Do some duty free shopping; we all want a duty-free profit But from what I've learned, you got to work to get to the top and I ain't stopping I've played from Nemo to Mozart to the nursing home right down the road Wrote a few poems too; won a free notebook and a few golds But what goes up must come down; there are plenty of losses on my record Failure's not a dead-end, just an unplanned detour [Hook} They tried to offer me help, said I wouldn't make it by being me Said I wouldn't be able to prove myself, well I guess this is QED They told me that I needed help, that I shouldn't just be me Told me it'd be hard to prove myself, well I guess this is QED
