Carpe Diem II ft. JayTheRocket Lyrics

I like to put in effort when I write

People need to see the growth

I wanna give you the best so that

It's only up from here onward

Powerless to change the past

Face the facts, that's how it is

Mistakes, regrets- ain't proud of them

How I can make amends the daily question

Nighttime fade to black

And then awake to the same obsession, in a vague depression

Now and then pain'll pass

I make it last to retain painful lessons

I'm battling the hate for self with ways to help my fellow man

By that I mean the whole planet

Please conceive man as an alchemist, for this rap at least

Rapidly realizin I have to shift this animus to anima

Without the masks of aliases

All animates must adapt again and again and again

But balancin- I been bad at this as calculus since I was a kid

Whatever bout I'm in, I'm adamant about it

And in and out of it again, again, again, again

Steady as a better friend (would be)

Wish I never said depend (on me)

Til the bitter end I keep

Wonderin when the innocence left

And where the hell it went

I got Eddie Vedder in my head

Wanna go Alexander Supertramp

But I won't do the fam like that

I'm kept in check knowing deeply

This life is bigger than your own experience

Don't believe me yet? Hope sincerely you

Don't experiment; no one need to go out that way

Easy for me to say, though

My route been about half paved

I know everybody pay the toll, though

Even the meter maid, yeah

Powerless to cease the change

I know it'll never be the same

So I say auf Wiedersehen

And grieve all the same as I

Seize the day

Carpe Diem

The life

It's so crazy, Robin

Wow

Wow

Took a while for me to see

The truth is hidden deep

The pain I had to grieve

It was me that I couldn't be

Had to fake, it got hard to breathe

Swear the stars felt far to reach

Now I'm up and the people say

Yet they don't know what I feel

Was so broke, used to dress to kill

It was confidence that I lacked

See, the problem stems right back

Send my stems to Rob and now we on a track

Some shit that I would manifest

Mother told me do your best

See my dreams and I press the bench

There's some weight on my shoulders

Cuz I'm getting wiser before I get older

Mistakes that I made I would regret

But now that I know I've been chosen

I'm spendin time with the fam, and it's just for a moment

I needed my closure

Before you know it it's over

Problems I had with my dad

Cuz he still be drinkin with friends of our fam

And I just be smokin

I'm lost, out of focus

Still, I know where I'm goin

I just needed a moment

Yeah

I needed my closure

But it's never over

I gotta keep goin

I'm only gettin older

I'm happy I know ya

But me, I'm a loner

I gotta keep goin

Everything'll be kosher
