Tempo - Traveler's Anthem lyrics

Hook: I said I love you, but I gotta go Cuz I've been jotting down my thoughts and got a lot to show, I found the truth, but yo, there's still a lot I gotta know And staying in the same spot would mean that I could never grow, So I'mma walk along the path that I wanna, While I'm sweating out my stress like I was trapped in a sauna, On my journey I've been yearning for surpa**ing my trauma To cast away my past battles, blasting off to nirvana Verse 1: Take your time in life, but don't you ever waste it, Cuz all it takes is one second for your ways to shake it, You started strong and set a pace until your brain erased it Suddenly and left you with your fear and anger still adjacent, So where's the bait that you were falling for? And where's that number that solemnly swore you would call your mama more? It's all revoked and its toll's taken to start a war To spar with all the parts that bring darkness inside my heart's core, On this dark, stormy night while it was pouring I left my porch, lit my torch, and started exploring, Setting forth a metamorphosis, I was soaring Through a lapse of time, laughing 'til the night became the morning, Snoring never, I was wide awake with the breeze, Of mother nature breathing on me through the leaves of her trees, Leaning on me while she whispered all her secretive pleas, And said, "I chose you for the lead role in keeping the peace, so be at ease" Hook: I said I love you, but I gotta go Cuz I've been jotting down my thoughts and got a lot to show, I found the truth, but yo, there's still a lot I gotta know And staying in the same spot would mean that I could never grow, So I'mma walk along the path that I wanna, While I'm sweating out my stress like I was trapped in a sauna, On my journey I've been yearning for surpa**ing my trauma To cast away my past battles, blasting off to nirvana Verse 2: Every step I take's a recipe for questing, And every sweat I break's a reminder I'm never resting, So where's my next adventure? That's a reoccurring question Circling my brain to scorch the pain, embroidered in my lesson I sorted out my thoughts, blossomed to cop knowledge, Got lost, and came real close to dropping out of college, I still might, but for now I'm off of the wall With a collar popped to say I'm confident for stopping my fall, Through all of my wrongs, this will be the time to be right, Red dot upon my goals when I'm aligning my sight, I'm a zombie in the day, but come alive in the night When the world is dark, and I can recognize the parts that are bright, A survivor and a fighter, I strive to reside in solitude, Until my mind is ripe with the wisdom I need to follow through, So while I'm walking, I want you to know I'll watch for you To help you spot the cues for your destiny when it calls on you Hook: I said I love you, but I gotta go Cuz I've been jotting down my thoughts and got a lot to show, I found the truth, but yo, there's still a lot I gotta know And staying in the same spot would mean that I could never grow, So I'mma walk along the path that I wanna, While I'm sweating out my stress like I was trapped in a sauna, On my journey I've been yearning for surpa**ing my trauma To cast away my past battles, blasting off to nirvana Bridge: Motherf**er, you gotta march, through rain, sleet, snow and shine, You gotta march, towards the happiness you're bound to find, And when it's dark, too many folks forfeit their ride, And I won't let you get forced to decide (X2) Hook: I said I love you, but I gotta go Cuz I've been jotting down my thoughts and got a lot to show, I found the truth, but yo, there's still a lot I gotta know And staying in the same spot would mean that I could never grow, So I'mma walk along the path that I wanna, While I'm sweating out my stress like I was trapped in a sauna, On my journey I've been yearning for surpa**ing my trauma To cast away my past battles, blasting off to nirvana
