first ever single. let me know what you think! (lyrics below)

Lyrics:

Me, I've spent some time
just thinking to myself
trying to get out of this maze 
but afraid to admit that i need some  help

the independent type
and out of spite known to rebel
but i've been hyper extending my knees
still failing to reach whats on top of the shelf

i'm, coming strait out of my shell
but some of these people are after my pearl
leaving no trust for these girls
keeping nuts up in their mouths like a couple of squirrels 

fuck this world, its turned its back
spending my nights locked up in the lab
filling a page and hoping for change
but how can i make it without some cash

ain't claiming to want the simple life
just looking for a way to earn my stripes
while I was out here working 
you were doing nothing but flying kites 

I, already got the pilot light ignited
asking "where's the gas at?"
pilots been recruited
its time to get up off the map fast

staring at this pad
while my hand fills it up with words
light a match and drop it, ain't no stopping
once it starts to burn see

this is how i learn 
filling a swisher up with some herb
cause i don't care bout that dissin
once my visions getting blurred 

[chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest

[Verse 2:]

its time to set cruise
sit back and just let do
the pay cuts ain't enough 
to bankrupt the whole crew

stay up to hit snooze
layups to get two
but a ray gun ain't enough 
to take down this young brute

we fight to break through
make up to make due
or cover up cause all we needs a
pay stub to make proof

fuck ladders 
we take chutes
get low or get up move
spilling thoughts on a page
advancing to shaking rooms

pen and paper no eraser
and no time to be mistaken
the beast in me's unleashed
when there is shit up for the taking

I'm done raising my hand when there is 
shit i should be saying 
its time to pick em out, sit em down
 and scream it in their faces

used to see me as a child
now they're seeing me adjacent 
patience payed off now i see why ya'll
are nervous steady pacing

play the game just hope the payment can keep up
with what you're spending 
lay the concrete but remember to stay off 
when it is setting 

[Chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest

[Verse 3:]

i'm really giving it my all
hoping to prevent a fall
popping the clutch with no gas
and i still can't get it to stall

check the gears, coming this next year
i'll be hopefully getting some checks cleared
cause eight dollars an hour
can barely cover solo rent here

i've been sent here with a message
hope to help you while you're stressing
turning faults into lessons 
to lift out of this recession

keep count, of every blessing
speak out, when they start testing
the speed route, is where i'm heading
like 3 2 1, are you ready?

I'm
running and jogging and looking in different directions trying to
find my place
looking for something that i'll never find but i'm diligent i'm gonna
win this race

win this race, win this race
find my place, find my place
win this, win this, find my find my
STOP
look me in the face

looking for something in nothing is what we call judging a book by the surface 
and not looking into the pages to further your search as to figure out why it is dirty

life is a novel with some hidden chapters but some people take what is written for granted
we'll never be sure what has actually happened 
be careful you don't know whose lap you will land in

[Chorus:]

I
know i'll make it no more racing
time to take a breath (breath)
hold it till im coughing all the problems
out my chest

although it takes some time 
to slowly tangle up the nest 
I know it will be worth it 
once it comes time to rest
