[Intro]

Life ain't always what it seems but you still gotta press

Good, bad, and ugly

Things may not be together right now but cling on to real hope

[Verse 1]

Against the grain of the sands of time

Can't be scared so I plan to grind

To find a way really is a sure fight

Got Astigmatism up in my foresight

Wheel of misfortune and it pours down

Broken promises can't afford vows/vowels

Swearing up a storm and I can't stand the rain

Motivation low so I gotta fan the flames

I testify that life's a test

Good grades come with strife and stress

True, false? Look for the answer

Gain, loss? Think with some candor

Search for the real in a world full of lies

Champagne wishes more like Colt forty-five

Prefer choice wine and relax my mind

The road less traveled hope the path is fine

[Verse 2]

Climbing up these walls it's a scary thing

Think you'll find your peace in some Mary Jane

Keep it real I'm no Peter Parker

Still fighting goblins thinking more smarter

A Dollar and a dream I keep my agenda tight

Remodeling routines and how I spend my nights

Lacking sense, no change, need clues

Gotta slow down I can't speed thru

What's my life path I still got questions

No answers but I stay progressing

Introspection not what I expected

Been a spectator wanna be respected

Gotta make the best of a bad situation

20/20 hindsight late registration

A New day, new lesson, be grateful

Never arrive but forever faithful
