Cardynal - (When I Get) SOBER

It's just a matter of time
A light where the tunnel ends
I'll find myself better than I've ever been before
And over a night
I'll grow a new pair of wings
And fly far away from here
So lemme make it clear
I'm waiting for the Golden City
See it in the distance, how it shine so pretty
Where all the water's so clean and the grass is all green
And the clothes that I buy always fit me
I'm tired of these rags, got my mind on the riches
Sick of feeling like my whole life's on a wishlist
Sometimes I wish I never wanted to rap
'Cause my wallet ain't fat, and this shit mad expensive
But I ain't complaining too much 'cause I'm doin' what I love
From the heart like I'm spitting up blood
I see light on the horizon, yeah, it's brighter than the sun
Feel my own potential rising, help me climb a notch above, aye
If I just keep at it all my hopes will manifest
As long as I keep writing out what I'm feeling in my chest
Man, I'm destined to succeed, that's what everybody said
At least, that's what everybody said
It's just a matter of time
A light where the tunnel ends
I'll find myself better than I've ever been before
And over a night
I'll grow a new pair of wings
And fly far away from here
So lemme make it clear
When I get sober
It's over
Just a little closer
Like pushing a boulder up a hill
But when I get sober
It's over
It's just one day closer
Like pushing a boulder up a hill
But it feels so far away, don't it?
It always feels so far away, don't it?
Even after you've defeated every opponent
And got every component
Shit, I'd prolly be discontent if I was omnipotent
It's never enough
The dose ain't ever quite as potent
I should prolly re-up
My head got fucked up cause of covid and it's beating me up
My head got fucked up cause of weed
I'll keep it a buck
I, got some feelings but I'm keeping em tucked
I been focusing on healing but my demons is tough
Sometimes I get worried that I'm thinking too much
Try to make up for my flaws, but it deepens the cut
And I still can't help but feel like I'm stuck
Wanna shine like a diamond but I'm deep in the rough
Told my niggas that I'm quitting but I think it's a bluff
Gon' turn around and start chiefin a blunt
It's just a matter of time
God fucking damn
