[Verse One: G, The Wiz] I should know much better by now I'm 21 on my own i'm about to drown Most my age go to school and lounge I stay up late just to find my sound I feel so different. Not sure exactly I have a mission and I have a story I'm feeling sick but no guts no glory I run the maze inside of a purgatory I've learned bad times are all momentary But I've sinned and I confess I'm so confused and so misled I did all this all just by myself Avoiding her with all the trends I just wanna be best friends Yet I don't know who I am [Verse Two: G, The Wiz] They only see one side of me They always ask what's wrong with me Understand what this here all means to me It's a piece in me that I cannot believe Since high school been conflicted with identity I took the late walks To wear off My anxiety That If I die tonight Trying to get it right Will my loved ones still remember me? She looks at me in disbelief Snap out of it you'll make it G When you make it big just remember me I wipe her eyes as she's filled with tears I know I've lost war to insanity I held her close but she had to leave Why is love a sad feel so hard to please? Why does everything I need so far from me? It feels I owe you apology I ran away but not from my problems I left my past just to solve them So here's my toast to my new year Everything I want is so damn near There's nothing in sight I can't achieve When the lights get dim And the night begins All my fans will help me persevere Be one or two it's better than none Somewhere, out there, I'll change someone When I was seven I wanted to be better I blew out the candles; now I'm 21
