[Verse 1: Mychelle Lee] This here it ain't no picnic I'm sorry no pun intended Shift gears, I'm drifting Mind is on something serious Fast furious lifestyle man I lived it 'Til something said slow up and chill out for a minute I listened Ain't really have a choice, was a voluntold decision Stopped the grind 'cuz something's wrong and nobody knows what is it Gimme ounces of prescriptions and these diets filled with liquids And these words over my head like treatments and remission I'm sick of second guessing and I'm tired of the pain Tired of running around like you wanted out of state All I want is an answer and to stop it all the way And the Lord, he got my back, but what's he really tryna' say These questions in my head, and decisions on my plate I eat 'em up like entrees, at the county buffets 'Cuz what else can you do but take this thing head on Ain't no other way around it but to go through the storm [Hook: 2X] And I want it so bad, so bad I can taste it I keep hearing that the key to greatness is patience Well here's the lock, I'm patiently waiting on my spaceship Patiently waiting on my spaceship [Verse 2] The most beautiful works of art, come from dark painful places Guess I'm a high priced portrait, a Mona Lisa in the makin With every brush struck of ill hope and countless waitin' Aging my sentiment to dry form like fermentation Try to see the light of day because I'm stuck within a cellar And all I keep hearing is chill it gets better But I be countin' days, like it's maximum security And ain't no where to go and ain't nobody really hearin me Ages my sentiment to dry form like fermentation Try to see the light of day because I'm stuck within a cellar And all I keep hearing is chill it gets better But I be countin' days, like it's maximum security And ain't no where to go and ain't nobody really hearin me Beefin up on anything to strengthen up me spiritually 'Cuz in these trying times, that's the only thing real to me Loosen up the chains 'cuz it's rackin' my brain That there's somethin' on it's way and I'm stuck with just a name 'Cuz it's getting kinda hard to never give up To some you look stupid and others you testing luck Well, I guess I'm dumb because I'm almost there Just as the wind blows, I can feel it in the air [Hook] [Verse 3] Made an album for the critics in stitches, ain't even think twice Played it all out when the dr made that first slice Blood, sweat, and tears, on the literal I did it On the cusp of a dream almost hindered by a sickness In weakness I'm a giant My stature was that of queens In d**h I chose to live That ain't an ordinary thing Got the heart of a champ, better yet a stellar player Surrounded by success, and unfamiliar to failure Got the world on my shoulders but the burdens weight is feathers I'm closer to my dreams much now more than ever Much now more than ever, I'm closer to my dreams much now more than ever
