[Verse 1]

The engine burn in ignition

Can you tell me what I’m missing

The high life I coulda had it

Can you tell me why I pissed it

Shit feel so tragic

New life I never wished it

It came down on a boy

It came up on a man

Can you see the different man

It’s all still the same man

I just got a different pen

And I’m in a different land

It’s not a question of why

We all know we’re gonna die

Destination I fly

Procrastination to try

No realization of time

I don’t really need a sign

I really feel it inside

Then I go outside

I put the key in ignition

I’m moving but I’m still stagnant

This ain’t how I planned it

And still I’m still standing

This driver seat is a magnet

But right now we’re the same

The pain change to a flame

The scar turn into a name

This life turn into a game

I shoot but I never aim

Thoughts feel like a cane

Leg stuck in the rain

Hand stuck in the chains

My energy just drain

Weak rope on a crane

Used to seek hope for a change

It felt like a hurricane

No hold on the reins

Consumed with chest pain

One spot migraine

I try to stay humane

I don’t need to explain

Couple words in a line

Couple worlds in my mind

The smoke always keep me blind

It take me really far behind

But this life is really mine

It really is my time


[Transition]

Contained inside veins

Sustained inside pains

The engine burn in ignition

Can you tell me what I’m missing

The high life I coulda had it

Can you tell me why I pissed it

Shit feel so tragic

New life I never wished it

Contained inside veins

Sustained inside pains

Contained inside veins

Sustained inside pains


[Verse 2]

But this life is really mine

It really is my time

I shoot up to the stars

The pain change into a flame

This life turn into my game

The scar becomes tamed

I maintain the hurricane

I got a hold of the reins

Now I know how to aim

I broke outta the chains

Contained inside veins

Sustained inside pains

The grass felt so plain

From man down to a plane

I reassemble the lane

It resemble the change


[Outro]

Contained inside veins

Sustained inside pains

I write some words in lines to express myself because I deal with worlds in my mind as it always racing.

I take control of the storms in my life and get a hold of the rains in the hurricane and the reins in the journey. I have learned how to aim with my decisions by choosing carefully and broke out of the chains that the pains made me feel trapped in.

My past experiences as a boy growing up through struggles still come back to me as a man. I am different than who I was in the past, but I am still the same at heart I just express it.

The pain in my life feel like it’s burning inside and their scars take their own name because of their importance. Life turns into a game, but I made decisions (shoot) in the past and I didn’t ever plan out (aim) beforehand.

Trying to climb up through my struggles as I look around the world, but the rope I am pulling on is weakening in the crane that I am trying to climb up to, representing a better life I am trying to get to.

When I make decisions, sometimes I put one leg in and the other out. I visualize this metaphor as one leg gets stuck in the rains of bad times.

The grass felt so empty and dry in my life, and I’ve felt really down in my life like a man down in action. I pick up the pieces of my life and reassemble the road of my life in my journey of change for me to fly out like a plane.

Double entendre with Reins (Rains)

I used to hope that my life would change through the struggle but it felt like a hurricane and I had no hold on the reins in this journey; or the rains in the hurricane.

Double entendre with the word Cane (Cain)

My thoughts feel like a cane, like they are handicapping me, and like a Cain as they are killing me as Cain killed his brother Abel.

Whenever I start something it always feels like it is about to go wrong like an engine burning when it starts. Many things I have done in my life could have taken me to higher places in my life, but I have made many mistakes that have brought me where I am.

When I used to smoke drugs, it always kept me blind to all my feelings and holding me back in my life, but I am taking control of my life back and it’s my time to shine.

The driver seat of my life is drawn to me like a magnet, because we need each other; as a driver needs a seat and a seat needs a driver.

My pain is stuck in my chest because it is taking my breath and feels like a one spot migraine because of the headache it is giving me. I try to remain normal in the process, but I feel sometimes that I don’t want or need to explain my pain.

I don’t need a sign to do what I want to do, if I feel it is something I need to do, I just do it and get it started. Usually once we start our mission in anything, we start to move but are held back or plateau in stagnancy standing still. This isn’t how I planned my mission out, but still I come out standing on the other side.

It goes without questioning that everyone is gonna die. We try in our lives to get to where we want to be and sometimes procrastinate as we try and forget to use our time efficiently in our journey through life.
