Verse 1:
People ask me what I really want to be
They say "Timothy, tell me what do you see."
Five or ten years from now
I tell em, I wanna be this I wanna be that
I wanna sell 'em this game, I want to show 'em that I can rap
I came from game design, to keepin' people from gettin' jail time
Now it all boils down to this one and only rhyme
I say I want to get rich, but every time that I earn a dime
I spend it
I start a new chapter and I don't finish it
This one dream, I would hate to diminish it
But how can I accomplish it when I never finish sh**!
I always start somethin' but I never finish
I got a thick list that I'm crumblin' with my fist
I take to heart something, but it's only just a wish
'Cause I can't clearly see success lyin' deep within' the thick mist
(Unh!)
Hook:
Why can't I succeed
Is it just me?
I say it's a need, I claim that I'm plantin' the seed
And every day I wish to proceed to step three
Instead of being on steps one and two
Damn, what am I gonna do?
Wh-What the hell am I gonna do?
Verse 2:
I've been through some thangs
That only offered me pain
I was once the same as you
I can tell that you don't have a clue
What life can do to you
It can turn you from sane to insane and back again
Everyday it feels like, there's nothin' to gain
It's a shame
How for the past few years, I mistook life as a game
Breezin' through it, never carin'
About that chance, if I just blew it
See, I knew it
Would come down to this
It's like a series of hits and misses
In life, you experience more pain than hugs and kisses
I think that this is just absurd
I'm not sure if you heard
But my wings have been attached too tight
I feel like a bird
Scratch that, I feel like a turd
Pushin' away people that tried to help me
Now look, I'm so unhealthy
People tried to show me how to get by
But to this day, I don't know why it has to be I
To go through these challenges
(Unh!)

Verse 3:
My mind has been pervaded by the mental invasion of lust
Everyday, I masturbate just for the satisfaction
All talk, but no action
I only talk sh**, but see, I'm only just reacting
It's to the point that I don't even like interacting
As much as I used to
Now I spend my days counteracting karma
I don't have dogma
I'm only stuck with darhma
It's a damn shame that everyday, I gotta put up with drama
Do you know how it feels to be dissed?
Do you know how bad it feels to know the many
Opportunities you've missed?
If you haven't, don't think that you won't
You'll find out soon enough, how rough life can get
But anyway, I'll continue
To dream of a day where everything will be okay
Where I can find my spirit guide
And show her that I've survived
The many burdens that life has placed upon us
(Unh!)
