Honestly, I been waiting all day to write these flows

Thinking and thinking of bars to compose

But I passed all the time and I didn’t control it

My mind on the future but a slave to the moment

I’m tryna focus on the present cause the future’s a gift

Gotta live in the moment like tommorrows a myth

Back to the mission with the best bars I’ve written

I Try to make a difference each time I’m spittin

I’m tryna shine a light, show me where the matches

I’m just tryna make a change ‘fore I’m in a casket

Make the problems disappear, tell em hocus pocus

Workin on the change, that’s laser beam focus

Tryna tell all these folks that I’m on a mission

Tryna make a difference that’s why I listen

I do it cause I care, I’m all ears like Dumbo

And I like to spice things up like a pot full of gumbo

What I been cooking up Chef Curry with the shot

But the love is from my heart, ain’t no robot

I was programmed for success, but this love is a choice

I ain’t no Blake Shelton but I give em my voice

That’s why the focus off myself and my own intentions

But im on a snail pace, man, you see me inchin

Yeah, I’m progressive, but I need insurance of my purpose

Gotta keep it on track, that’s why there’s meaning in my verses

My goal is to be real, you can’t see me flopping

I found a Target, I ain’t even shopping

Tryna focus on others, mind off my problems

Just a shoulder to lean on, not tryin to solve em

I’ve got others’ feelings on my conscious

I’m just tryna keep it humble, keep it honest

So I focus on the love when I’m relatin

Keep it real or keep it shut in the conversation

Im just tryna stay focused in this life

Distractions all over, to the left and the right

Got sports over school, I’ve been playing the fool

This lust got me trippin and acting a tool

Distractions impactin all of my actions

Drawing my attention from what needs to happen

The past affectin the next time I roll the dice

Cause I’m still tryna keep my head up after last night

Don’t wanna look back that’s the pillar of salt

Mind in the moment that’s how I ball

Leave it all out here, I lost the fear

Call me Jamal Crawford, Sixth Man of the Year

But I kinda gotta wonder, if I worked a little harder

Focused a little more and been a Sophmore starter

These thoughts set me back, Meditatin on the past

But I gotta move on, strap on my backpack

I’ll have the last laugh cause I stay focused

Mind on the next play, that call was bogus

I’ll keep moving on like I’m UHaul

I’ll take the blame, but it wasn’t my fault

Cause the past is passed, we don’t need relapse

I’m moving on no looking back

No second thoughts, that’s a one-track mind

But im a six track guy making fire hot rhymes

Hot like the Cheetos and Takis they nibbling

Im tryna stay focused but I catch myself trippin

Goin back to my old ways when I didn’t have meaning

Like all of those rappers who rhyme without reason

They don’t have a purpose, theyre not tryna make cents

They rap for the millions, not for the difference

Theyre just playing the game but I’m looking for outcome

I never drop the ball, I only drop albums

Theres a time and a place for the fun and the games

But I wrote these songs to make a change

My life on the track, that’s the purpose

Like I never write hooks, only spit verses

Cause theres so much to say from when I kept silent

Ain't searchin for sympathy, not playing my violin

Gotta keep it real whether I’m rappin or jokin

Keep my head in the game, that’s my focus
