Took a shower to start the day
Put on a record and let it play,
Drift with my thoughts as they take me away
To an innocence when we were at the arcade,
I know it might seem strange but now I feel shame
Regret for what I didn’t do I feel the pain
But I aim to let go, all that stuff won’t help my goals, no no!
No way Jose’ matter fact R.I.P. to Uncle, he was funny as can be
I was watching home videos from when I was 3
Back when I didn’t know what hate and guilt mean
Before I let the world take away my self-esteem
And before all these adults told me not to dream…
I was clean, with a fresh slate
The words put a spell on me it’s time to shake
I will not be fake I’m here to show you who I am
No assumptions, I’m sticking to my plan,
Deleting programs that stand up in my face
So I can slam it like Mike in Space Jam from half-way!
Chorus (Choir)
Talk about it don’t shy away
Get it off your chest today
We gonna run and we gonna play!
Say goodbye to yesterday!
[vrs 2]
Now here I am still going at it
For me being strong is automatic,
Born into a mess that I dropped like a bad habit
I made it out of the storm feeling so alive
I’m just wondering, when will be my time ?
Look into my life to see where I get my drive,
In a world of competition I’m giving high-fives
I’m giving out hugs I’m not choosing sides
Come closer to my eyes the last real one resides
where the wild things are
at the top of the mountain climb,
writing rhyme after rhyme to combine these lines,
break from my confines and live to the max!
I’ve been hiding all my life from the world to write raps
Rebelling against everything so I throw the map
Trash it, chuck it away, find your own dance
And go with that, instinctual tap,
a tug from your heart to guide you on your path
This one’s for the homies, Chad and Lance,
I became who I wanted to be and some may laugh,
But it’s almost impossible,
They all said “You Can’t!”
Chorus
[vrs 3]
A life unlived is not a life at all
That’s why I broke the wall
and got on the ball,
I gave courage a call and it hit me back
That’s why it’s always Summer in the cul-de-sac
And life ain’t wack… no more
I attract beautiful women and travel on tour,
But honestly this is the life for me
So here’s to the open road and to living free,
This one’s for true friends that stuck beside me
It’s not many cuz I only mess with good energy
And to all my fans we’re all Neighbors on my team
Peace to the supporters this is the dream!
I fashioned my own style
check my smile
can’t you see ?
feet dangling off the dock
fresh airs better than TV
I made wealth, I have health it feels good to be happy
the world sits in my palms so these girls harass me
This is more than a song
My soul lives in this piece,
Turn it on I’ll be your friend
And we, can
Discuss what it’s like as Terabithia’s king
This is just the start let the Good Times begin!
