Missiontide - XV lyrics

(Feat. John Tanjuakio) [Verse 1] 2 year plan says we plan to go our separate ways We found a crew, now we all finna find our place Drops in the ocean? Or making tidal waves? Popular notion? Or go against the grain Been buying lotto tickets out of desperation To get the luck out of here, been lacking motivation I was stuck in 1st gear, 0 acceleration That just won't cut it this year time for a transformation I was hibernating. Now I ain't caving in Eyes are dilating I see the way again Phoenix from the ashes I am burning deep within Looking life straight in the eyes, and I am on a straight ascent To the top, won't even recognize ourselves at the end of this Take a shot, no more time to sit around and just reminisce This time we'll run faster This time we'll reach higher This time we'll love harder This time we'll catch fire I won't be satisfied, and I won't lose it This is all that matters, this is the new Blueprint [Hook] Close your eyes and see the vision clear Close your eyes 15s the year [Verse 2] Learned the hard way how short life can really be Wake up call to straighten out my priorities Its time to balance my time, and know that inner peace Eventually will be mine, I just can't forget to breathe 'Gon be a good year, no we won't be getting tired No more need to drink Monster, on the good vibes we'll be wired, Send a plea to the Father, that our hearts will come alive And that the demons and monsters, won't have a chance to get inside Flash forward... Of course it was a struggle Did I sit back down or run the play we called in the huddle? Picture the success. The outcome will appear Now go forge it with your blood and sweat, and wash it with your tears It's gonna be different. It's gonna different Too comfortable and complacent, ah... the way I've been living Took an extended vacation, I... just couldn't admit It's gonna be different. It's gonna be different No hesitation no uncertainty, I made a decision Focused on the finish line 'cause I've been given a mission Times moving faster, but the moves takes longer Don't take a snack break, you could lose the hunger [Hook] [Verse 3: John Tanjuakio] Now close your eyes and imagine What if you never stopped? What if all this time you were still rapping? And you never thought twice about the music or your talent What if that studio in Manhattan, you made it happen? I didn't stop, maybe I got a little bit distracted But I didn't stop, I thought you knew that music was my pa**ion But after highschool you went to college for mathematics That doesn't matter after all these years and I'm still happy Nah you right, maybe I was slacking But I'll start writing verses on this napkin I wrote this, can you read that, give me feedback I showed Pat he said send that, now I know that 15s the year release the fear Forget the past, grease up the joints, increase the gear Unbrace the chains, find a better place You can fly free, don't gotta be afraid Embrace the change
