O3 - passion

When I look back at it, guess I've lived a life to lead
Did everything I should have done, and tried to do some righteous deeds
Fostered lots of wholesome growth but know I didn't plant the seeds
If I'm being honest, there were times I even watered weeds
Look at me, talking like I'm on my deathbed
But just think, how else would you want me to look straight ahead
I talk like it's happened cause in my mind I got it planned out
Mapped out, schemed out, I like to say dreamed out
That's the stuff I dream bout, it's focused on me
Me me, man how selfish can one human being be
It's so tragic, I thought all this greatness appeared like some magic
Set me back a couple years, so now I'm talking bout some practice
Do you remember how I'd cry talking bout hard work, painstaking hard work
Kept my parents happy when the birds chirped
Felt they never knew how hard that I work
Wanted validation for a second but I guess that ain't how that work

Now I live for me and only me, is that what I should say
Disregard my peoples feelings even on a rainy day
When they ain't got a thing to say, and I'm left picking up the pieces
Of the puzzle, looking at em got me puzzled
And disgruntled, should've known that my friends hated me
Should've known that no one ever willingly could stay with me
Should've known their dreams cannot come true because they wait for me
Yeah they wait for me
Yeah they wait for me
And they hating me
Steady hating me
Thank God I still got my grandma and she pray for me
Lost her husband and she sick but she still pray for me
I'm annoying and she still won't go berating me
So I wonder can I keep it up
Will I keep it tut
Will I stay ten toes down in the mud
Or will I give it up
Admit I can't hang with the best of em
And I could only stay one step ahead of the rest of em

And so I move against the wind
I fight against the sands
The waves steady my hands
The flames are calling out my name
When lightning strikes again
It's my blood it will tame
