You've been through quite the journey, and it looks like it did you well
You seem like a newer, better version of yourself
It feels good to have clarity, huh?
It should be easier for you to see your destination now
So, what does it look like?
I know where to turn now
The plan for this gift we call the present is to view my life trajectory as progress, not a descent
It's not how things will line up forever, it's just a segment
So I'm shooting for the stars, and I'm aiming for that crescent
I'll make that drеam work into a blessing, life is a movie
Need to tеll myself I've got it, it's my duty
I hear my roots rooting for me as I take that route
See them saying there's no reason I shouldn't choose me
Choosing instant gratification cannot be gratifying
Choosing easy dopamine to trade with time ain't satisfying
Especially when the work ain't satisfactory
Slow improvements change your life rapidly
Got to leave those habits in the past for me
Take accountability for that account and balance it
Need to get uncomfortable no matter if you're talented
If you're stuck in the comfort zone, there's no fucking money there
Ain't no joke, not funny here
Wrap it up like mummy wear
The outer world and inner world are similar, I've heard
Thought it was too simple to be true, but now I'm holding every word
And I can change one when I change to the other
I need time away from where I am, I'll go to another
Need to ease some darker thoughts, I'll meditate and recover
Make my mind beautiful to find a beautiful lover
Go connect with more people like, how you doing my brother?
Have some gratitude even though I've got more to discover
Now to answer the question from earlier in the track
My destination's a fan base, a gramophone and a plaque
Financial freedom, expenses pile on but money will stack
And do it all with my mind and the beats I make and attack
Tall, beautiful, black queen by my side. and maybe a little one
And a house to keep them safe in
Healthy lifestyle, good physique, muscle gaining and maintaining
When demons come around and war is done to be the only one remaining
I want my future self to look back on this and say
Man, I'm glad I finally got my shit together
I really have been getting in my own way and overcomplicating this one chance at life I have
I'm not worried about why things are the way they are anymore
Or even on how things will work out
Right now I'm focused on just taking it step by step each day
And knowing it's only a matter of time before they do
That's the plan
