Lyrics
Yeah
Lately I been sinking in the comfort of my privilege
Yeah I learned to work but ain't been working on my mission
Say I'm woke but that's a joke if I don't keep the vision
Wasting time I scroll feeds in my phone for folks opinions
How am I supposed to see
My eyes in the mirror say: make the most of me
I'm Close to feeling I'm dope, but approaching me
Is a host full of the ghosts that I won't release
I know what they want is to slowly bleed my hope
Whisper broke and you old
It seems that my doubts are once again all opposing me
Got me frozen, self absorbed and they won't concede
My mind is a weapon, I know it
But I gotta guide where it's going
Been counting my blessings like working with decimals
I'm so obsessed it's annoying
I try to just coast in the moment
Yeah
Instead it all parts like I'm Moses
Can't stop overthinking my choices
I prolly should go back to weekly appointments
Feeling like I need to tap out
Moving slow like they pat down
When your shoulders are low and you struggle to load
And just wait for the smoke like a camp ground
Full of flash powder
It's like you can't act now, you ain't even in the background
Your momentum's asleep, all invented it seems
And you fiend for the cheese like trapped mouse in a cat's house
So you blast to the fullest
Maintain gains, where the gas is the foot is
You ain't worried if the path isn't footed
You could maintain pace till the gas tank is flooded
Now we're stuck and not budging
"Bang bang bang" goes the engine, then it doesn't
Putting pressure down on each and every single button
Just want things to go back to how they was, cause
Lately I been sinking in the comfort of my privilege
Yeah I learned to work but that ain't working on the mission
Say I'm woke but that's a joke if I don't keep the vision
Wasting time I scroll feeds in my phone for folks opinions
Lately I been sinking in the comfort of my privilege
Yeah I learned to work but that ain't working on the mission
Say I'm woke but that's a joke if I don't keep the vision
Wasting time I scroll feeds in my phone for folks opinion
I keep looking for the reset
There's no default or re-spec
I feel so pretentious when I get to stressing over why I treat some days like weekends
Rake a breath but then I breathe less
tell myself that we all need rest
Just a few excuses for why not to do it, then start confusing what I'm free is
Can't stop tending your grain
Water those seeds, be attentive and aim
Know your potential and form a connection with forward momentum to get through the maze
Comfort's a circuit for rats in a race
Can't have resurgence by playing it safe
Whats finding purpose if we're not emerging from the places we lurk deep inside of our cave
It's like you thought you could fly, then started to float, but you fell and stopped trying
Now when downtime arrives, you sit at your desk like you charging on silent
Is it really a grind if once we hit quota we fine with just vibing
Crossing on a dead line and zoom in perspective from that of a giant
Worry less about the details, dream it bigger let it prevail
Gotta feast your eyes on that prized horizon and run it till it finally feels real
Push until we see the steam build
Get that furnace burning and don't keep still
If that nine to five ain't that five to nine
Then don't be surprised when we won't sleep well
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep moving
Yeah
Hey
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep moving
I'mma keep moving
Yeah, I'mma keep moving
