lyrics

Forget fear, 2011 is here
My enemy appears, starin’ me dead in the mirror
We don’t talk, Deaf in the ears
A hundred words can be said in the shed of tear
I pour the pain on the page like liquor
And give the pen fuel so the flame lights quicker
The flame might flicker, but it ain’t goin’ out like a late night sitter
I’m takin’ haters out like a date night dinner
But I’m the one eatin’
Life is a bitch but she don’t come easy Yahh
Double life I’m a part-time jobber
Full-time dreamer nearly woke after college
Coulda went to grad school, coulda had honors
I woulda been a 6’3 black Van Wilder
Sittin’ on campus, livin’ in the past
Hittin’ on girls of the incoming class
Ugh, no thanks for the offer
I’m built like a shark. I can only move forward
Never thought I’d work a 9 to 5 after school though
Life’s like that, can’t plan it (planet) like Pluto
And through it all, still, I never quit
Never gave it up, boy, I’m celibate
I no longer treat the art like a hobby
Waitin’ so long, can’t treat it like a lobby
Nuttin better than an idea realized
First time in my life, I feel ALIVE, I feel ALIVE

Yahh I wonder if my high school self would approve of the life I live
Wonder if I told him the key is to believe, would he even take heed to the advice I Give
But time is money, cash don’t wait
So it makes sense (cents), the past don’t change
So I stop living in it, lemme move out
I’ll always regret what I never do now
Love my girl, love my family
Got a grade A team, never had a plan B
Call it REDEMPTION, this is my soul
Time will fly every second I don’t
Every second I don’t, so let me fly, let me fly
