Progress

[Verse] I’m looking back at my failures I watch it like it’s cable Rerun after rerun Got me thinking that all I wanted was a life that’s stable All I wanted was to never feel that hunger that kept my head on the table I gave up on my dreams Replaced that shit with goals Came apart at the seams I broke down on the road I started taking advice I took the backseat in life Like I’m a passenger Cuz life be moving fast And I guess I’m scared of crashing And I’m feeling like I’m average Do you hear all this audacity My mama raised a savage But I fell into this habit of doubting my every move That causes the hesitation That fear needs for you to lose [Chorus] And I’d be lying if I told you that I conquered it That I slayed all my demons and all the monsters But I know I’m making progress Not here for all the nonsense I’m taking back the wheel Cuz I’m the driver in this cockpit [Verse] Conversations and arguments with the universe Acting like you don’t hear me but you gon hear this verse I’m tired of playing a role that I didn’t rehearse I’m tired walking a road that I didn’t endorse I’m tired of outcomes and consequences I don’t deserve I’m tired of people who don’t put meaning behind they words I’m tired not speaking up and making myself heard That’s why I’m screaming at the clouds and stomping on the earth If there’s really a god I know you hear me If there’s really a devil I know you fear me Cuz I’m really taking action And killing em with compassion No time to be moving backwards I’m raising up all the standards I’m ready for war I brought my armor and my sword I’m staying the course Break down the gates blow up the doors I’m ready to lead the charge Cuz this is a new day I’ll take on all of the odds I’m tired of playing safe [Chorus] And I’d be lying if I told you that I conquered it That I slayed all my demons and all the monsters But I know I’m making progress Not here for all the nonsense I’m taking back the wheel Cuz I’m the driver in this cockpit
