Foresight In Hindsight

(专辑： The Awakening - 2016)

You need to get a job you need to go back to school
This isn't proper all you do is act a fool
Look at Tim, don't you remember he was your friend
He's a lawyer you could have been just like him
I'm a give him a call now, tell me how does that sound
And turn that crap down please you are such a child
It's not music it's foul and it's way too loud
You really need to settle down and make grandma proud
First of all grandma likes my shit so go ahead and call Tim, no I insist
And ask him about the job that he loves so much
And how he would give it all up just to rock with us
The way I see it I would rather rock this place
Cause I can rise out of misery and shock the state
I could literally change lives with the vibes I make
Or I could give it up and rot at a job I hate
Now that sounds tempting but thanks I'll pass
It's not me and I'm sorry that it makes you mad
But when I'm old I would rather look back at the past knowing in my heart I gave it everything I had
Bigger and better things I'm not trying to be mean
I got love for the music and love for the scene
I respect your opinion but lately it seems
I could either follow your rules or follow my dreams

The path to the future is hard to see
Don't stand still and let it pass you by by
Don't let it pass you by

You stay complacent, I hate the thought
It's too basic so face it we're taking off
I look up to my elders, they paid the cost
But I'll take what they say with a grain of salt
I'll be the first to confess to invest is smart
So I'll invest my heart in my reckless art
And gain acceptance from legends who set the bar
Think not, better check my repertoire
Enter into the mind of miracles intertwined
With wicked lyric artillery dropping at any time
It really be killing me when they chopping with iffy rhymes
Get chopped up and screwed behind enemy lines
I know the rappers can't stand em
They try to stack up the antics
And then they happen to panic
You cannot battle a cannon
I'm sick and tired of this standing
About to rattle the planet
And ride off into the galaxy you probably can't understand it
But I'm headed to the top and I know I'm gone shine
Coming down with a Hardy Boy Swanton Bomb

The path to the future is hard to see
Don't stand still and let it pass you by by
Don't let it pass you by

This world is cold, this we all know
Just something you gotta deal with
Some search far, high and low
For somebody to keep it real with
Some grab a disc of their favorite mix
And sit an reminisce and let their minds roam
When the music hits you lose your shit
Cause that line made sense and it really hits home
Your tears and the beat drop at the same time
Racing for your heart until they reach the bass line
Then you fall apart as they hit their mark
Like straight to your chest point blank in the dark
These artist are marksman, we rarely miss
We hold on to the things you can barely grip
A padded room and straight jacket that barely fits
Like a walk in the park when compared to this
We amplify everything you feel inside
It doesn't matter what you feel cause you feel alive
Kill the lies, don't ever let them kill your pride
Keep it up, have faith, keep real alive
Just vibe to the music
You can't hide from the music
But you can decide how to use it
Or you can stand by just watch it die
Then we can all sing bye bye miss American Pie

The future is here now
No time left for fear now
The future is here now
It's time for us to stand out

Sometimes the future is frightening
But if you stand still life will break you down
Now all my doubts are behind me
Need to get out and take it

Don't let it pass you by
