i went to sleep and I woke up dead 
but I changed my mind- and I want to 
i went to sleep and I woke up dead 
but I changed my mind- and I want to 

verse 1: 
live my life, a to z 
fill up all the vacancies 
feel the vindication from the hate you get for chasing dreams 
i'm major league with or without any cosign 
stealing 3rd base, no coach, no go sign, AHHH 
that's why I'm feeling how I'm feeling now 
music's my escape but it's feeling even realer now 
grassroots, [bad word] that, we are on some other [bad word] 
call it what you want but [bad word] you know what it is 
i'll [bad word] bleed for it, ask them, they know 
color me in sepia they are [bad word]  day glow 
shades on, shoes tied shorcuts never work 
in it for the long haul, pot shots never hurt 
thick skinned rhinos, elephants we don't forget 
what's important overall, no withdrawl we don't regret 
pushing forward even those this life sucks sometimes  [bad word] with this noose I promise I can get it untied 
you made it outta bed, task one, crossed off 
step 2, show them that you ain't gone be a rag doll 
stand up, backbone, strong enough to break falls 
ref is tryna make ammends look at all those late calls

verse 2: 
so many people with the wrong intentions 
we been living with a selfish vision 
but I guess it's how we get through it 
we take a lesson from the hardships 
bet on ourselves, grit our teeth and hurry up and get to it 
cuz' we only get a minute to figure out what our business is 
your bucket list is getting long hope you finish it 
and in your movie they ain't cast mr. nicholson 
stumbling over jaded plots, better making revisions 
it's a different kind of feeling when you're doing what you wanna do 
charity is great but you can't help until you make it too 
or maybe that's the reason you've been all broken up 
vanity keeps you panicked your image isn't focused up 
open up and talk about, walk it out and talk again 
closing off is why you see those [bad word] walls closing in 
break em' down and go outside 
live your life don't live the lie 
lose the attitude and prove that you know how to be alive 
and prove that you can thrive, get your money, buy the things 
but know that honesty and guts is how you bought the ring 
and now your married to it, scarred up a changed person 
reward the hard work looks like the pain was worth it

verse 3: 
--i'm riding with a heart up on my sleeve 
i ain't even sure it's mine but I'm gonna let it be 
no [bad word] to this [bad word] so I add another piece 
playing legos with my life I am tryna build a dream 

arts and crafts day build it from scratch  [bad word] paper for the skyline, the buildings are matchsticks 
uh- michel gondry with the imagery 
and I ain't pop a single pill today so who's to say just who can limit me, nobody 
old soul more like a spring chicken 
when them gears start turning and endorphins start kicking 
who's to say what's on the other side 
not me, not you 
you don't need to bless me, I just need to ha-chu 
- sick with it, pandemic, get with it 
we are in the same boat we should prolly go fishin', fishin' 
and I am feeling like I'm on a mission 
so when I wake up please don't tell me any different, different
