[Verse 1]
I tell you man, this life is crazy
The struggle is hard, success is amazing
The cycle don't stop, goals keep changing
Then utlimate success, is happiness (ain't it?)
So I find happiness in my sorrows, ain't it the same thing?
The pain is colourful, a beautiful (pain-ting)
True beauty's on the inside so character is everything
Used to live life, on the fast lane man
Short-lived, burnout, devastation
So now I, stop at the red and go on (amber, green)
Still got dreams of pushing (lambourgheens)
But it seems I gotta revamp my scheme
Striving forward but feeling like I am standing still
Asking God, please hand me will
In hindsight, I understand he will
Get my mind right, the way I define right
Might sound like, I am so down right
But the ideal life is based on what you feel like
So go ahead escape, (fulfill life)...
Chorus (x2)
I am trynna let the past be
And the future is past me
So I am trynna live in the (present)
Cause every moment is a blessing...
[Verse 2]
Nowadays happiness is a rare commodity
Funny, cause it's found within you and me
But we look for it somewhere else externally
Then you wonder why it's only there temporarily
Right after this thought, where will my next dollar be?
Huh, so much for practicing what you preach
But I'm only human both saint and sinner down beneath
Once upon a time a (King, a winner,)
Now simply a peasant roaming the streets
Every pain you inflict, you'll feel eventually
Shed tears cause' you're paralyzed mentally
And a pair of eyes won't help you foresee this
Cause when you're in paradise you only see bliss
You pop placebos hoping you don't feel it
You feel like you got something to prove, a statement of (thesis)
You're in denial so in a sense you believe it
Until you fall right below ocean's surface
Then you beg God for innoncence of a fetus
Ask forgiveness for all your sins and mean it
Try to break this cycle of ego and humility
One moment I feel like Michael, the next like Guruji
Losing my mind trynna find stability
Let it go man...just breathe...
Just (breathe)...(damped echo)
Just (breathe)...(damped echo)
Just (breathe)...(damped echo)
Just (breathe)...(attenuated echo)
Simplest thing you can do man...
Chorus (x2)
I am trynna let the past be
And the future is past me
So I am trynna live in the (present)
Cause every moment is a blessing...
