Return to Reality (Vocal Version) Lyrics

Nothing can come between me and what I see

These visions in my head depict a place where I'm happy

Call me in the early morn', might be a lil sleepy

But I gotta wake up and return to reality

The time is now to make my family proud

It's happiness over money

I'm not following the crowd, no

Time to brush off these expectations

I'm not gonna have the same life that older generations did

But it's gonna be okay

Might wander a little, but I won't stray

Yuh, I'm still finding my path today

There ain't no rush to become who I wanna be

Yo, I'm taking time to find out what's in store for me

I wanna know if this trajectory is the one with meaning

I'm tryna do something that matters, tryna make a difference

Had to cut some ties with those whose personalities were switches

When life gets hard, I don't try to get harder

Become more like liquid

Follow the path of least resistance, that's water

But it's not so easy to maintain

I try to become a teacher to myself every day

Nothing can come between me and what I see

These visions in my head depict a place where I'm happy

Call me in the early morn', might be a lil sleepy

But I gotta wake up and return to reality

It's funny how we're caught up in the future or past

Forgetting that the beauty of the present won't last

It takes our breath away, makes us wanna move fast

And worst of all, it forces us to put ourselves on blast

Better days will come

And if they don't, then I'm not done

Yuh, I said better days are ahead

And if they're not, then consider me dead

Come on

Better days will come

And even now, I'm having too much fun

Yuh, I said better days are ahead

Hold your friends close, they're your reality check
