[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
I should know much better by now
I'm 21 on my own i'm about to drown
Most my age go to school and lounge
I stay up late just to find my sound
I feel so different. Not sure exactly
I have a mission and I have a story
I'm feeling sick but no guts no glory
I run the maze inside of a purgatory
I've learned bad times are all momentary
But I've sinned and I confess
I'm so confused and so misled
I did all this all just by myself
Avoiding her with all the trends
I just wanna be best friends
Yet
I don't know who I am
[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
They only see one side of me
They always ask what's wrong with me
Understand what this here all means to me
It's a piece in me that I cannot believe
Since high school been conflicted with identity
I took the late walks
To wear off
My anxiety
That If I die tonight
Trying to get it right
Will my loved ones still remember me?
She looks at me in disbelief
Snap out of it you'll make it G
When you make it big just remember me
I wipe her eyes as she's filled with tears
I know I've lost war to insanity
I held her close but she had to leave
Why is love a sad feel so hard to please?
Why does everything I need so far from me?
It feels I owe you apology
I ran away but not from my problems
I left my past just to solve them
So here's my toast to my new year
Everything I want is so damn near
There's nothing in sight I can't achieve
When the lights get dim
And the night begins
All my fans will help me persevere
Be one or two it's better than none
Somewhere, out there, I'll change someone
When I was seven I wanted to be better
I blew out the candles; now I'm 21
