(Intro)

Well, hello!

I know it's been like, um

I was gonna say hot minute, but it's been like a year and a half

Alright whatever, this is gonna be fucking good

So expect some rest

(Verse 1)

Well it's that time again where I'm looking for wisdom

Curving and twisting my words to cover how crooked I'm feeling

Rethinking my future - like maybe cooking in kitchens

Or booking my wisdom, cause YouTube isn't hooking my vision

And honestly, this struggle is just one I've been fighting

Alone in the silence - which even hindered my writing

So I'm hoping that by bringing out this problem to lighting

It allows the music to flow and become more inviting

Expressionism, huh? Is that what my rap is?

Would I be better off tossing the paint brush at a canvas

And hoping something abstract can be seen in the splatter

Which leads people to think that I'm soaking in talent?

I'm doing the same thing when I mindlessly dump lines

Into my computer, even recording them sometimes

Maybe I stopped because "Enough's enough, right?"

Or maybe it's because I'm 25 in a week's time

(No Chorus)

(Verse 2)

I guess it's finally sinking in

It's a third-life crisis basically that's happening

So I'm desperately working on things that need establishing

Looks like I'm bitching and wishing, instead of digging out the avalanche

And disheartened by comments expressing concern

That something tragic has happened, and that's why I haven't returned

Priorities have shifted from rapping to work

And lately, the hunger and magic are acting up and returning

Things in my world that I'm fixing and changing

We're lacking real leadership, with little support and appraising

Toxic environments are flourshing - and maybe

That's exactly why we're all just ignoring our safety

I spent my summer learning of leadership

It goes deeper beyond simply than dealing with

Whatever concerns or issues your people get

It's about giving them purpose and being a shield for it

(Outro)

I remember that some people told me that about me

Maybe it's time I quit dealing with my own shit, and get back to being there for others

Man I tell you, this whole "getting old" business is fucking strange

25, barely a grown ass man, but it's kinda feeling like it

Anyway, it's been a pleasure to see ya

Until next time
