back on track

(Album: no sleep in LA - 2022)

It's that album of the year shit
It's that I'm choosing to live shit
Yeah I'm back on track
Overcame some demons yeah I'm back on track
It's that album of the year shit
And I can't tell you how to live, shit
Yeah I'm back on track
I'm back on track

The day I told my parents that I wanna be rapper
I could see them think I must've dreamt too much
But so what if I do, so what if I did
Told myself if I don't make it, it's 'cause I slept too much
They thought I must've, I must've lost my mind
Talking 'bout them big dreams, big smiles all the time
Said momma, momma, please take my advice
Let me skip class or maybe even school
So I can get to rule the world
That you gave me, and you given my word
Ain't no need to be concerned ya lil' son gon make it burn
Put my name on the map, eating suckas like desert
I'ma earn what's mine, come and take what I deserve
Till I can fill your purse, said son you need a spanking
Is you really gon' cut it like your dad did
She ain't really said it but I read it in her eyes
And once she read mine, she left and let me rise

It's that album of the year shit
It's that I'm choosing to live shit
Yeah I'm back on track
Overcame some demons yeah I'm back on track
It's that album of the year shit
And I can't tell you how to live, shit
Yeah I'm back on track
I'm back on track

Yeah I'm still here
Can't believe this
There were times on god it wasn't easy
But we still here
We still breathing
It took some time for the wounds to start healing
Now I'm still here
Fighting off my demons
My demeanor
Was changing like the seasons
Tryna fake my smile, hiding my feelings
Tryna pick myself up but found no reason
And I still keep everybody at distance
Still find it hard to open up when they listen
Still haven't shown my true colors
Still working it out like newcomers
Head first, no pool covers
Blue collar, nine to five still won't have you covered
Night shifts on night shifts, I lose mornings
My mind shifts from thick mist to white skies
But behind every cloud it still shines

It's that album of the year shit
It's that I'm choosing to live shit
Yeah I'm back on track
Overcame some demons yeah I'm back on track
It's that album of the year shit
And I can't tell you how to live, shit
Yeah I'm back on track
I'm back on track
