23 Lyrics

Twenty-three years inside this vessel

How time passes by, man I'm so forgetful

The time I've been alive has been somethin' special

In every single way, in every single way

At least I'd like to say, when it's all said and done

Cause lately I've been thinkin' 'bout the people that've gone

Lately its been harder just stayin' standin' strong

Righting every wrong, I do it on my own

Drinkin' every shot and the poison be Patron

Straight to the dome, won't be here very long

Frantic with my thoughts, like I've been on the run

Anxiety a bitch, variety I switch

Up on a whim, when I need a new pace

Ambition is the key, call it my saving grace

Been through a lot, never see it on my face

Nothin' stays the same

Everything's a game

Wish what I had could keep me sound & sane

My greedy ass, wants the money and the fame

Lose what I have, who else is there to blame

More than a fad, I can feel it in my veins

Learned from my dad, generational pain

Heart split in half, think I even lost my name

Banner half mast, cause others feel the same

Do I feel sad, only if it's done in vein

Twenty-three years inside this vessel

How time passes by, man I'm so forgetful

The time I've been alive has been somethin' special

In every single way, in every single way

Even for the ones that were the darkest day

Demons of the past, with the vices I slay

Scared for my life, when I gamble every day

Zooted, on a flight, makes it all go away

Just how long 'til I'm forced to confront

The things that don't disappear with a blunt

The things that make me keep my distance

Baggage like this, gets to be a nuisance

It's my hope, I can conquer in the future

Wounds of the past, fix 'em somethin' like a suture

Just takes time, and the strive for me to nurture

But I'd be lyin', if at times it wasn't torture

Could've end it all, a few times in my life

Thoughts of my momma, what kept me to the light

Talk about it now, and it doesn't seem right

Hopefully it helps somebody with their fight

Cause not everybody gets that second chance

Words for the minds out seeking guidance

At many times that really was me

Hopefully these words help you reach twenty-three

Twenty-three years and I can see the changes

Twenty-three years and I can see the changes

Twenty-three years and I

Twenty-three years and I
