All Clear - Senior (Seasons of Love) lyrics

[Verse 1] Growing up, I thought I had it all Had a good family: dad, sister, and mom And I'm thankful for all they gave me, but I still misbehaved see I acted like I was the best and like nobody could even graze me On the real though, I was a jerk So first off, this song's an apology to all those that I've hurt Since then I've changed; I've found my way with words And now I'm figuring out how to put them to good work I'm on Pica**o flow, just trying paint a picture with these lines No rulers are needed, just my mind will be fine and I'm humbled by all the love that I've received over the years By all the patience ya'll've displayed as I worked to face my fears Because I used to feel inadequate, behind the bravado I thought I was incompetent But now I've gotten over it I promise it's All Clear, so a big thanks to my peers For sticking with your boy and taking me all the way here [Hook: Krutes] 525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear 525,600 minutes, how do you measure, measure a year [Verse 2] BEP asked "Where's the love?", well we're still trying to find it We get so caught up in business, that it's got us feeling blinded Looking for gold and sterling in a field full of flowers Stop for a second and take a breath, let yourself be reminded That there's plenty of roses out there, so go show the love and spread it I guess that's what it means to paint the town red ain't it? What an oxymoron, huh? Even the most beautiful have thorns But everybody has problems, we've seen it all before And who am I to talk? I'm just a kid born and raised in this nation With the goal of one day paying for my parents' vacation I've been patiently waiting for my shot at this rotation And now that I'm in the spot and on the track, yo my mind is racing And I don't plan on slowing down You see, I'm not worried about finding a throne, ring, or a crown I've already paid my dues, yo shouts out to Tri-M and MAO Now let me hear ya'll clap and bring down the house [Hook] [Verse 3] Last verse is dedicated to ya'll, yes, the audience We live in a world where you have to prove you're somebody it's Stifling at times, but I promise you can make it through it But first you got to get your mind out of all this sewage Yeah, I'm living my dreams Which I guess works out, because yo I never get sleep I'm always on my grind, like a Starbucks that's open all night So I promise I will never let them turn out my lights They can claim they make it rain, but that's figurative Well I'm the solution for the game, so I guess it's true they're the precipitate And to those who say I'm sick -- yeah, you're right; I have Senioritis My high school career's almost terminal, no point trying to fight it So I'mma keep marching to the beat of a different drummer In terms of mileage I'm going for Prius instead of Hummer This ain't a song, it's a promise; to you, from me We can change the world together, Signed, your man, AC [Hook]
