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
