[Verse 1]

Five years ago I started all of this

I wonder how long it’s gonna take for them to want to be part of this

I think I’m over thinking things

We know what overthinking brings

God bless the pen cause here we go again

I can only start from where I am, but Lord it ain’t pretty

There’s a storm on the horizon between me and the city

But if I wait till it dies down, I’ll never get started

So welcome to the game, I won’t be begging your pardon

No, fly butterfly in the face of the wind

It blows a little bit harder when you’re created to win

I know where I’m headed, but it’s just taking some time

Cause it’s all uphill, but see I’m ready to climb

I know the destination, but the details evade me

Will I be chasing the daylight? Will they be thinking I’m crazy?

But they already do, so I might as well try, yeah

Who's it gonna hurt if I go broke and I die?

But I’m the golden child, He can’t have me fail

I’m a hero to my hometown, so I gotta prevail

I’m hailing from the Shyre, got a team that I inspire

Nature Valley safety rally will set’em all on fire

If you know you know, this time I’m ready to go

Ain’t no stopping me now, i threw my scarlet in snow

So I better get going before I get out of hand

Nah I don’t wanna be the one to mess up all of the plans

But there’s chaos in my mind, I wish that I could get out of it

They say God don’t need perfection, but I’m honestly doubting it

Cause it feels like He don’t really wanna talk right now

They say that it’s a lie, but I’m so lost right now

It’s crazy what can change in a minute or two

Gimme a minute or two, and I’ll be out of this mood

It’s know about time to get out this cocoon

But I know I shouldn’t want to try to fly too soon

Don’t rush but don’t delay, my heart leads me astray

I'm trying to use my brain, but it’s just more of the same

I thought that I had it, but now it feels like I lost it

It’s a never-ending cycle and I wish I could stop it

[Interlude]

Yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

What doesn't kill me better run

Three, two, one, ready or not, no here I come

I ain't stopping, I'm going until it's done

I ain't hiding no more, I'm stepping out in the sun

I'mma be fighting this war, already cocking my gun

And I'm going for the headshots, I don't got no time to waste

I don't need another person tryna throttle my pace

Man, I hope you understand the race is only begun

And if y'all just let me fly then we gon' have fun

Cause I'm at it again with a pad and a pen

And you better believe that I battle to win

You don't understand what I been going through

But that's alright cause I have been growing, no

Who do you think that I am? What do you think is the plan?

It don't really matter cause you are not me, and I am not you

So don't ever tell me tell me that I am a fool

Create for the Creator, but I'm just an imitator

Something's about to happen, I guess we'll know a bit later

All your prayers are appreciated, thank you for your patience

Now if y'all could call me Clark from the moment you play this

Cause I'm not the kid you used to know

Died without a funeral

Know it's quite unusual

But honestly it's beautiful

Feels good for the first time in a long time to be me

Cause I know that I'm becoming who He wants me to be (yeah)

Clark Clark Clark, yeah I ain't missing the mark

And y'all can think what you want, but it feels good to restart

I understand that y'all don't see my vision here

But gimme a couple years, and it'll all be clear

It's light and it's shadow, I'mma be fighting this battle

And they'll judge, but I ain't scared of the sight of the gavel

No it's beauty and chaos and y'all can think that I'm way off

But I know where I'm going and I can't wait for the payoff (yeah)

So here we go, I'mma circle the city

I might get a little lost, but I know God is with me

Understand that on this carousel I'm painting my dreams

Yeah it's a long story, but you'll see what I mean
