I’ve had to grow as a person

I do it through verses talking about all my issues

I have to open the curtains

It makes me nervous I can’t let the cycle continue

Have to accept it and I have to grow

Trust the advice and apply what I know

Cope in a healthier way as I write

Let all the demons release every night

Dope ain’t the answer liquor’s a cancer

Have to just breathe and go face all the facts

Craving attention when that isn’t here

Go through withdrawals and tell myself that

You are successful

Telling myself with conviction, bury it into my mental

You have potential

Can’t let conditions and demons destroy everything you assembled

Anti depressants and counseling too

Helping me grow and go do what I do

Facing my enemies now I don’t run

Remember my life has only just begun

Face the addiction I have to critique

Self validate all that makes me unique

Facing my enemies now I don’t hide

Bringing my demons along for the ride

Life has its ups and it’s downs that you’ll see

Can’t grab a cup to erase everything

Can’t pop a pill if I want the relief

Self medication solutions are brief

If I want a woman, must have success

Don’t pity myself in a world of regret

Strongest attack is a stronger defense

How do you handle when life is intense?

Let it release if I keep it within

I’ll never move on and I won’t ever win

Face all my problems and proudly submit

Own up to mistakes that I made as a kid

Then i’m committed to fixing the problems

Critique criticize and take action to solve 'em

Rapping about 'em

Using pianos for therapy so I can finally blossom

Anti depressants and counseling too

Helping me grow and go do what I do

Facing my enemies now I don’t run

Remember my life has only just begun

Face the addiction I have to critique

Self validate all that makes me unique

Facing my enemies now I don’t hide

Bringing my demons along for the ride

Anti depressants and counseling too

Helping me grow and go do what I do

Facing my enemies now I don’t run

Remember my life has only just begun

Face the addiction I have to critique

Self validate all that makes me unique

Facing my enemies now I don’t hide

Bringing my demons along for the ride

Anti depressants and counseling too

Helping me grow and go do what I do

Facing my enemies now I don’t run

Remember my life has only just begun

Face the addiction I have to critique

Self validate all that makes me unique

Facing my enemies now I don’t hide

Bringing my demons along for the ride
