Verse 1
Everyday I'm waking the boy has got a heavy heart
Knowing what my talent is, I feel like demigod
Any given day, you could catch me up on plenty blogs
Yet I live uncomfortably, why I'm saving pennies for?
Anxiety's kicking in so I got them sweaty palms
Cause I have a nephew I want to provide for
He's my inspiration, the reason that I rhyme for
Hopefully the sunset is where we're gonna ride off
But they keeping asking me, “where's my next mixtape?”
n***a, I'm just living life, trying to get my sh** straight
Student loans over my head, interest at fixed rates
But they gon' tell me bout success and what it takes
I'm questioning life choices (choices)
Searching for a job and feeling voiceless (voiceless)
The world is my ocean, where's the oysters?
Can I go back and avoid this?
Chorus: 2x
Can't turn back the hands of time
I'm come to far to turn behind
I put it all on the line (I put it all on the line)
I put it all on the line (I put it all on the line)
Verse 2
I don't question if she's got love for me, I question if she's in love with me
Cause when she's around her friends, she don't show it publicly
Then I get to thinking that this whole thing is f**ery
Knowing that she's hiding stuff, things she won't discuss with me
Then I look into her eyes, it just starts digusting me
Cause she knows I'm hurt and allowing all the suffering
I thought you were the one, now I'm like f** a ring
Because I've turned numb, I won't discuss a thing
I opened up my heart to you
What's worst is I still love every part of you
I put up with your antics like a carnival
Why do I feel insecure if my name is incomparable?
There is only one of me, there are like a thousand yous
I can find another pretty face that's really down for dude
Investments of the heart aren't like US bonds
You ain't guaranteed returns less its the truest love
Chorus: 2x
I'm at the crossroads, that's right at the crossroads
Opportunity had knocked, now all of them doors closed
But I keep on knocking and I'm hoping they know morse code
It wasn't a soft blow, lost everything I fought for
But I keep on screaming til boy has got a sore throat
It wasn't a gra**y knoll. Somehow I went off road
First I'm seeing Mase stop. Then I see Kanye rock
Polo Teddy Bears, and all my friends saying, “that's Shake's spot”
Right under his nose, but Jay is co-signing State Prop
Fast forward on the blogs, now I'm seeing Drake pop
Asking, “Did I miss my boat?”, “Why isn't my name hot?”
Going no where fast cause I'm standing in the same spot
Can't go back, I can't go back, sacrificed everything I had
Can't go back, I won't go back, won't accept failure as my path
Chorus
