Tunnel Vision

(album: SANTIAGO - 2023)

I, I, I, I think you're captivating
I, I, I, I think you're captivating
I, I, I, I think you're captivating

Yeah
It's not the time to pump these brakes
I don't care how much I love her, how much money that I've made
That wasn't the goal, it never was
I'm tryna see what my zenith is
What it looks like to believe in strength in all of my weaknesses
Inconveniences are hurdles, discipline jumps over
I wanna see how it feels to do twelve months sober
I wanna feel self love without the vanity (The vanity)
I wanna feel what it be like to give a Grammy speech (A Grammy speech)
I wanna see exactly how far I can take this independent thing
How high can I fly if I just learn how to extend my wings
What would it be like to be patient, this is a me thing
What would it be like to stop shaming myself to victory
So when I win it doesn't feel defeating, that's why I'm leaving
I'm seeking constant improvement
I don't have kids but I fostered a movement
The journey's the treasure, if I ain't moving, I'm losing, for real

I've been (I've been)
Priding myself on all of my patience (Patience)
Priding myself on all of my diligence
Priding myself on all of my curiosity
I know I'ma get far if I work hard (Get far)
Giving shit up that I fucking love to death (To death)
When we called it quits, I was fucking mess (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (Yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby

Yeah
If I give up on myself, it's giving up on the universe
In return it gave up on me, no more signs, no more new alerts
I be haunted by what if I went after what I wanted
Daydreaming 'bout that nightmare is what prompted
Me to keep it going, I'm determined to see
What life would look like as the best version of me
I want a body that look sculpted like a statue
I wanna not respond to everything if I don't have to
I wanna heal the trauma from my childhood, I'm pissed off
I wanna learn to snap less and use Wim Hoff
I wanna celebrate myself instead of waiting for others
I wanna be a better friend, better son, better brother
I wanna stop thinking that I gotta go through hell to get the credit I desperately need to give to myself
Across the board, I wanna see what my best is (Yeah)
I wanna prove it to myself that I can get this
Tunnel vision

I've been (Blind is on, I've been)
Priding myself on all of my patience (Patience)
Priding myself on all of my diligence
Priding myself on all of my curiosity
I know I'ma get far if I work hard (Get far)
Giving shit up that I fucking love to death (To death)
When we called it quits, I was fucking mess (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (Yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby
