Slow but steady
Tryna get ready
For the
Big event
Semi-formal dress
A man
A friend
Revealed to me a ticket
Told me this would change my life
Hold on to it, he said
It defines everything, he said
So I kept it safe
Never let it interact
Stowed it away
The time came
Reached in my pocket
Got my ticket
Time is ticking
But the ticket is torn
Damaged a little bit
How'd I let myself do this
I was quite angry
I thought I did everything correctly
Now I was confused
Perplexed
Embarra**ed
Cause look at all these others tickets around
Unscathed
Looking brand new
Now I'm feeling like an outcast
Trying to retrace my steps
Finding the cause of this blemish and that blemish
Might as well just crash and burn
And relish the epidemic
The one I brought upon myself
I messed up bad
Made mistakes
Others think I'm slowly rotting
Only thing appealing to them
Is the fact that I am not climbing
Now I'm afraid
Can just a few bad things
Cover up the great deeds I've carried out
What's that about??
I don't even ever remember taking out my ticket
Showing it to the world
Bragging that I am different
I always kept it safe
Hidden in my pocket
Cautious of the weather
Making sure nothing was ever let in
Could I have slipped up
Fumbled
Wrecked the whole plan
Through a little small act
One where I can't even call to mind what happened
Some things can really get outta hand
Wait
Hold up
Maybe that was the mistake
Never showing my ticket
Proving I could make a difference
With the bounties that were held within it
From time to time
I should've exposed it to some harsh conditions
Nothing I couldn't control
But something to teach myself a lesson
Something in which I could learn, ponder and grow from
Then share the message
Even though it may have gotten tattered
I can still improve myself
Mend the tears made in my ticket
Contemplate my daily actions and routines
Maybe I can change something within it
That sounds like a plan
I shouldn't ponder on my past mistakes
Only improve from it
From here on out
I promise to myself and the world
I'll do everything I can to share what I learn
Now I'm feeling like a new man
Y'all better makes some room
I got some crazy news
That I'm here to share with you
I've learnt that I should love who I am
And who I have become
Even if I've made mistakes
I should strive and overcome
These feelings of depression
Unnecessary aggression
Obsession with the possessions that can posses the best of us
And ultimately, take over our livelihood
That's why we gotta change the crook into the good
And know that no-one is alone in this journey
There will never be a time
Where you are not worthy
Of the blessings
Bestowed upon us
Just learn how to fully embrace
No need to rush
We will learn together
Develop together
Help others together
In fact
Take that ticket on a spiritual escapade
Now you are feeling fresher than ever
Remember
If you need me or anyone
I'll be there
We'll be there
Just count to three
You'll see yourself become enlightened through all of this
I guarantee
