Here we go, back to where we started.
I never thought it’d come to this again.
Our better plans tossed to the wayside, buddy –
A view of all the men we should’ve been.
Do you really need this?
Is this a lie you tell yourself?
‘Cause life can be a one-way ticket,
Or life can be a long and dusty shelf.
Here we go…
Simpler times, we never knew.
It’s never gonna get easier to follow through.
Believe in what you will, but 22 is nothing
But a catalyst for what you have to do.
‘Cause you really need this;
You can see it in the glass.
You question, and question, and question the truth,
But the questioning is never gonna last.
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
[Metasota]
Anybody out there? Ya hear my confusion?
Not afraid of the ways of the vague;
I only fear a conclusion.
Feel my spirit is movin’,
Tryna steer clear of exclusion –
The man in the mirror’s abused his time enough,
So I’m here to diffuse this.
Times are rough;
Every rhyme’s a touch of my soul in this cold world.
And any time I try to muster up strength,
I’m stuck in this rut like it won’t turn…
Forgive my faults, but I give my all;
Within these thoughts, I’ll live right on.
Throwing me slack is holding me back,
Alone on this track, and if I fall…
Hold me down – literally, let me drown.
‘Bout to stress me out; OG clouds
Fillin’ in me, let me float ‘til my rep peace out.
And hopefully, I’ll go where I’m sposed to be:
On the throne as I roam the streets;
Plenty broke for weeks, I smoke this keef,
Higher than gas is, so to speak.
Ironically, you never been low as me.
No woe is me – I openly admit it.
Rode the beat to these frozen peaks,
Uphold my piece – I’m totally committed.
Angels watchin’, halos broken – oh my god –
Demons lurkin’, heathens focused, hold my guard…
[He Who Never]
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
Oh my god –
I hope I didn’t wait
I hope I didn’t wait too long.
