Life Goes On

(album: Sunsets & Goodbyes - 2022)

Life goes on, life goes on
A new day rises with the sun
Been holding back, for too long
Now these wings going take me home
An' I know every little thing's okay
Cause it's better that we go through change
Life goes on, life goes on
While I'm just here waiting

Never thought I'd be 26 an' rapping
Took a walk around my neighbourhood heard children laughing
Finally understand how ignorance is bliss
Think what I'd give to go back an relieve these memories that continue flashing
Inside my mind, best friend lived next door to me
Wasn't hard to find, we were the hero's in our fantasies
Knights who armour shined, always there to save the day
But now I'd probably save the time
I guess growing up has different stages, swear I'm always learning
I lay my head down in the grass can feel the planet turning
I'm watching clouds in the sky, it's beautiful mid July
Makes me forget about my bills an worries of what I'm yearly earning
Damn it's sad what life makes us become
Started off as innocent but eventually we succumb
To the pressures of this world no escaping I tried to run
Though I'm thankful for this music cause it saved me
Yeah now my gardens is full of blue jays, these new days
I'm over living inside a suitcase
Focused on my family in more than just one or two ways
A true phase, hero of my city like I'm Luke Cage
Saying dear patience I hope you listening
Was saved by Christ at 7 today I became a Christian
By my own choice, time make you really think what you want
Now I finally see exactly what was missing
Power inside submission
The most important term they call faith
I'm tryna lead a life of legacy known for my grace
I've done it all while reaching for this dream that I chase
Finally letting go of fear I've only known to embrace
But no more, no more
I might of lost some battles but I'm focused on the war
Yeah I'm sure, I'm sure
That I'll be alright

Life goes on, life goes on
A new day rises with the sun
Been holding back, for too long
Now these wings going take me home
An' I know every little thing's okay
Cause it's better that we go through change
Life goes on, life goes on
While I'm just here waiting

My perception gets shattered the more I've grown
Thinking everybody's grass is greener than what I own
While I'm wearing dirty laundry that's covered up with cologne
Like I know my father love me just different the way it's shown
Things not what they seem, check your Instagram app
Life's a rat race, desiring the things we don't have
Take a moment look around deep breaths relax
It's a spectacular now time you'll never get back
A hypocrite the way I write, dreams of children and wife
Watching days go by together, flowers bloom it's always bright
Need a genie for these wishes think the bottles getting lite
If it's impossible whatever, forever just sounding right
I digress, I surrender, feel the sun on my skin
I deserve a life of happiness maybe I should begin
Wouldn't choose a million dollars over waking up again
So what's that say about the problems I got

Life goes on, life goes on
A new day rises with the sun
Been holding back, for too long
Now these wings going take me home
An' I know every little thing's okay
Cause it's better that we go through change
Life goes on, life goes on
While I'm just here waiting

Life goes on, life goes on
A new day rises with the sun
Been holding back, for too long
Now these wings going take me home
An' I know every little thing's okay
Cause it's better that we go through change
Life goes on, life goes on
While I'm just here waiting
