[Intro]
Yo
Yo-yo
Yo-yo
[Verse 1]
And the chance that I’ll make it through this storm
Is a fleeting illusion of a heart torn.
Everybody’s hypin’ up dreams of fame and riches,
But life’s a maze, and the future switches (Switches).
If the truth’s gonna hit (Hit), I don’t wanna see (See),
Feed me fantasies (Yo) and let me drift free (Ayy).
Call me a dreamer (Yeah), wound me to the core (Core),
You can sketch a bold vision with my scars on the floor, yeah.
I’ve been wrestlin’ with this for a while,
Losin’ rest, thinkin’ time’s gonna exile.
I’m just a soul adrift, this world’s too heavy,
They wanna chat, but I’m never ready.
I toast to hope with a spark of graffiti,
My heart bursts loud on the streets, so needy.
I dread the gaze of the crowd,
They swear they vibe with me, but it’s never that loud.
I lie awake, wonderin’ why I move strangers to cry,
When I can’t give myself props after years gone by, yeah (Years gone by).
[Verse 2]
Somebody pull me up, I’m sinkin’ in this tide,
I’m yellin’, pleadin’ daily, but the world’s on a ride.
I dwell alone in this crib, with hopes of breakin’ wide,
My pain’s deep-rooted, can’t even page my guide (Page my guide).
And that’s the true spark why (Why),
I pour my soul into tracks that I scribe (Scribe).
Flickerin’ dreams, but my fears turn to stone,
So I chip ‘em off the block and let this Walkman drone.
Yo, yeah,
And that’s the real, real, real spark why (Why),
I’m up till dawn (Dawn).
Clingin’ to the past, though it’s long been gone (Long been gone), yeah.
And I’ve been trudgin’ through this haze for a minute,
And I’ve been lost in a million retro visions, I’m spinnin’.
Gotta rise up, grab my pen, start paintin’ these riddles,
But I just fade (Fade), yo,
And I don’t wanna strive (Wanna strive),
‘Cause every time I try, I dive too deep in my vibe (Vibe).
Yo, yeah, yo,
I dug a bit too deep, now the dreams don’t bloom,
Rain on the hopes, but the colors all gloom.
Eras keep shiftin’, but the heart’s still cracked,
So I tape it back together, though it’s just a hack, yo.
[Outro]
And you feel like you, you got a bold soul, kid,
You got, you got that fire.
And that’s with all my props,
But until you dig deep to fight for somethin’,
It’s a dope vibe when you stand tall alone,
And you claim that inner spark,
‘Cause nothin’ out there can shake you anymore.
