Racing the Moon Lyrics

Life changes, rearranges, and i'm stuck going through these phases

Lifestyle of the young and famous

On the come up just tryna make it

These uphill battles that i'm facing, uh

I see myself as Sisyphus

Every time I take a step forward, I take two back, no matter what it is

Got some people who don't want to see me win

But fuck it though, I don't let it under my skin

They love the underdog til he's doing better than them

Forces them to question why they never began

Coulda had the life they really wanted

Instead, they tear down the one who went out and got it

Been uninspired for the past couple of weeks

Nothings been really moving me

Every time I spit I break a couple of teeth

Every time I make a beat I channel Jay Dee

Wrote Las Vegas Blvd lonely and depressed

Now I'm speaking at my best

Every part of me has improved

Just listen to the way the drums groove

I was out racing the moon, hoping to see the light soon

Had to get off on that exit, and no I don't miss it

Those who doubted can get behind me and kiss it

Feelin' like Tom Cruise the way i'm on a mission

Despite my inhibition I still pulled through

If it ain't me than who, surely won't be you

I just sit back and play it cool

Jealousy isn't something in my veins

Music's been dead, i'm piecing together the remains

I don't aspire to be Drake

I aspire to be Paul Stanely

Changing the rules, so they'll wanna ban me

Crazy how we couldn't come to an understanding

Just because we blood, doesn't mean me family

The stab in my back didn't hurt

It's when I saw who it came from that made it worse

Tom Riddle the way I be living in these words

Was just a little kid playing with the birds

Now I got my own wings, and i'm going far

Spending everyday practicing the guitar

Trying not to rely on anyone else

If I make it, it'll be because of my self

Not because someone else did it for me

I want to be proud of myself when i'm forty

Y'all just making excuses on why you could't do it

I can see through y'all, y'all are translucent

Want the rewards but none of the work

That's not how it works, gotta set a course and stick with it

Just trust the vision, and fuck anyone's opinions
