They say you livin on borrowed time
But not me man, I never borrowed mine
I just open up my mind and stay on the grind
Looking for that next sign that theres more to life
More to life than what I'm putting in
More than this clock that I'm punching in
Maybe something out there to ease all my pain
Ease all my pain, and my suffering

Here we go again
Heard that beat drop and them drums kick in
Thats how I know I'm in the zone
Resurrect
Come into my own
Self-reflect
Gotta go and get it, life's a garden go and dig it
Just remember that you reep what you putting in it
I'm on the rise, you can't stop my shine
All up in your eyes, call me Sunrise

Borrowed Time

one day it'll all be over, so I March on just like a soldier,
heavens far away but it's getting closer, this my life man I thought I told ya

First things first I'd like to start the ceremony, if I may
By addressing those we have lost today
I'm talking bout the ones that we love ay, the ones above ay, the ones that can't be here today
yeah im talking bout the ones that paid their dues
feel like Everytime i turn on the news
may not have been one to me or you
but they was somebody's, whole somebody...

One day itll all be over 
thats why i march on yeah just like a soldier
i thought this time last year I'd have some closure
now I'm chillin with a pen tryna keep my composure
yeah these demons on my back wont let me sleep
they whisper while they schemin, fuck counting sheep
cuz they been seepin in my head and all up in my dreams
still i have dreams, but that ain't what i'm meanin
i took a walk by myself just the other night
just kinda did it cuz I couldn't get my head right
anxiety riding me for the head rights
telling me i can't do anything right

never thought life would move this fast
and i, never thought id view you thru a photograph
and i, never thought that id be wishin for my past
back when, i was wishin that this shit wont last

never thought life would move this fast
and i, never thought id view you thru a photograph
and i, never thought that id be wishin for my past
back when, i was wishin that this shit wont last

i had a brother who was gone too soon
i had a friend who was gone too soon
i had a sister who was gone too soon
and i know you got some people who are gone too soon
i know you cant sleep and it kills you too
i know you can't eat and it kills you too
i know you screaming that you dont know what i been thru
it wasnt long ago, i was there too
everybody grieves in their own way
no ones is better, no, it aint our place to say
we just gotta be there, to be a helping hand
this world is too cold, so let's understand

Soldier

A little preview off my upcoming mixtape, Tha Bassment

I'm back, fuck it
Got a mental illness
Here I come back with the lyrical illness
Taking care of empirical business
Here I come and I ain't asking no forgiveness

Nobody knows why, its such an enigma
Why they say my mind has got such a stigma
I'm sick of being confined by a society that defines me
On their own scale of whats considered healthy
I'm not sick but I'm not well
Got so much on my mind but nobody to tell
Physically, I'm well enough that nobody suspects
Clinically, most the time I can keep it in check

I said
It's hard when you forget how to laugh
And you're terrified that someone might ask
How your day is, how your day went
Overanalyzing, tryna figure out just what they meant
And whats the deal with society?
Yeah it seems to me that they on some hypocrisy
They got the war on drugs, yet they can't see
They the reason for the addicts dyin in the streets
Growing up fast I had to raise myself
On my Nickalodean shit, custodian shit
Dust myself off, keep that shit on the shelf
This is my struggle, ain't nobody else
I guess I don't fit the aesthetic, I
I got a poetic mind
I'm painting with my words, every song a work of art
Real Recognize Real so you know I do this shit from heart

Nobody knows why, its such an enigma
Why they say my mind has got such a stigma
I'm sick of being confined by a society that defines me
On their own scale of whats considered healthy
I'm not sick but I'm not well
Got so much on my mind but nobody to tell
Physically, I'm well enough that nobody suspects
Clinically, most the time I can keep it in check

Real Recognize Real
Death

These are two universal truths in the world, you find people who you vibe with and these are your people. The other truth is death. No matter what you do death is inevitable. As soon as you accept these truths, the world is yours. 

If you ain't saying something real in your music what are you doing?
