Immaculit - Obsession

I try to balance daily life with this musical plight
But my obsessive mind makes it too tricky to fight
I sit in the booth, lose track of the time
Invest my mind and my body to the tracks that I write
I've always had issues with compulsive behavior
When I commit to anything, I go all in, I don't waiver
Plus, meticulous nature, either perfect or failure
This shit is all consuming, like last year in Zoom meetings
This year obsession will reveal some new meanings
Stuck in less ideal between the mix and my true feelings
How can it be? Began this morning at three
It's like I've been here so long I started growing algae
But I'm right up my alley, exactly where I wanna be
Just gotta manage time better between this and family
Balance is important, without it life is heinous
It's just hard to diverge being focused on greatness
Like a waitress I got a lot on my plate
And I stack plates like cabinets at estates
I wear my heart on my sleeve like compassion is fashion
It's cool to say that I'm obsessive but to me it's just passion
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
If you put one percent of the energy that you spend on your music
And applied it to your studies then you'd be able to use it
To get a good job, secure the future that you pick
These are the kind of norms that just make me feel too sick
What if I don't want to be content, I want something more
Open the door, the sounds and notes I'm running towards
Running for a long while til' I can't run no more
It took a long while to find that music should come before
Any other plight, look, the music lives inside me
Dying to come out like come on Mac you gotta write me
And when I finally get to it, every line I write surprises me
It flows like the Nile, it's my pen that is driving me
Next thing you know, we've has been at it for hours
Your powers are too great, it's consumed me, devoured
It's a double edged sword because I'm forgetting a lot
Of the things I should have dealt with, without you I would have not
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
In some kind of state of pain, need to reclaim my brain
Obsessed to be the best, need to regain control
Before it's too late and I can't awaken my soul
And you cascade me down the rabbit hole til' it takes a toll
On my mental health, and my potential wealth
I wish it was easy to go and put you up on the shelf
But you compel me constantly with your whistles and bells
Consistently wonder how I stay under your spell
It's a continuous cycle to fill your ambiguous title
Obsession, compulsion, fixation, delusion
You draw me in then you create this illusion
If I keep up revolutions then I'll get retribution
But I've come to the conclusion that I'm better than this
You better pray like a mantis cause I'm great with semantics
I've learned your language, no longer you'll enchant us
No longer running torture you underwater like Atlantis
Yea, use obsession as advantage
Used to take you for granted now I'll just divert the damage
To the industry, they'll take interest in me
Cause this year I'll be everywhere like a Christmas tree
Got my game locked up like arresting me
Blessed indeed, make grandeur moves, majestically
When I'm on the mic I'm impressing me
Obsession flipped on its head now you obsessed in me
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
I'm off the rocker. I'm nuts, macadamia
The search for greatness ascended to a mania
Deeply rooted, subterranean
Search is consuming my body and my cranium
