[Verse 1]

My eyes, like the skies, are plenty blue

See, I'm optimistic, but I don't know what to do

Midlife crisis at the age of twenty two

Worried 'bout my next step, forget a walk someone's shoes

I mean...I face my own consequences

Got myself a vision, but there's scratches on the lenses

Workin' under cover of the darkness like a bandit

Thinkin' I can shine above the stars if I plan it

I put the time in, no time outs

Started from the attic of my grandmom's house

At seventeen would never dream of makin' people's mood swing

Now I'm makin' beats, soundin' tighter than a shoe string

Critics all bark, no bite like a shiatsu

Chick's do anything to kick it, jujitsu

Now you're frustrated how I'm slippin' through your fingers 'cause I'm tough to figure out, Rubik's cube

[Pre-Hook]

Open your eyes

There's no disguising the truth of the situation

Gotta move without hesitation

[Hook]

I don't have time for negativity

And it'd be a shame to waste the talents given to me

I don't care if nobody remembers me

I'm just tryna make some money and some memories

Funny, sometimes I'm my own enemy

And I dream bigger than my pockets tend to be

I don't care if nobody remembers me

I'm just tryna make some money and some memories

[Verse 2]

It's 5AM and I am yet to sleep

Each tick of the clock a broken record to me

A constant soundtrack reminding me I'm starvin'

But I leave it all behind me like I need to switch to Charmin

'Cause the past ain't somethin' that I dwell on

Told me "get my bars up," watch me get my swell on

Never made a move if I knew that it felt wrong

Got the keys to success so the piano's like Adele songs

Skimmin' through it 'cause I'm sick and tired of waitin'

I'm on thin ice, they push my buttons like a Playstation

I don't play games, need a pay raise, my dreams have grand themes

Flying blind, I can't see

Can't waste time with Plan B

And as the days go by I'm only gettin' older

Tryna stretch my limits, no yoga

Now they say I'm 'bout get it poppin, no soda

But they'll never understand me so I'm feelin' like I'm Yoda

[Pre-Hook]

Open your eyes

There's no disguising the truth of the situation

Gotta move without hesitation

[Hook]

I don't have time for negativity

And it'd be a shame to waste the talents given to me

I don't care if nobody remembers me

I'm just tryna make some money and some memories

Funny, sometimes I'm my own enemy

And I dream bigger than my pockets tend to be

I don't care if nobody remembers me

I'm just tryna make some money and some memories
