Let me tell you why, why I've got a reason
Why I'm so committed, why I keep breathing
Why I'm so consciously careful with every web I'm weaving
Why every single record I make has a deeper meaning
There was a time, when all I ever knew was quitting
I'd toss the plate before I even got to the filling
Quit building a legacy before I got to the ceiling
Quit paying attention, I was rhyming but I had no reason
I found myself constantly killing myself
Then turn around and ask why I've gotten bad health
The fear and anxiety inside of me never helped
Never speaking up and just taking whatever's left
Being petrified, just hiding inside the crowd
But my colors would change when the pressure got loud
I had those moments to be great but I'd opt out
What should I do now? What can I do now?
Only gonna be here once, so imma make it last
And I'm working till I'm numb, and I ain't living fast
All the good things I'm scheming
When I close my eyes dreaming
Only gonna be here once, so imma make it last
And I'm working till I'm numb, and I ain't living fast
All the good things I'm scheming
When I close my eyes dreaming
Life can be so misleading when trying to find a meaning
You read between the lines in every single sign your seeing
We chase ourself in circles, just trying to find a reason
But hope resides in those that will keep dreaming
I been in peace everyday since I focused
Laid down the path and had some devotion
Lead foot on the gas instead of just coastin'
Applyin' a cast where I'm broken
I never really had no price to pay
I thought it was over, but I found my way
I got myself sober, and in faith I prayed
I looked to the sky and inside it paved
The path that I needed to destroy my demons
And in an agreement I went up to Jesus
The fact that I'm breathing should be an achievement
Cuz y'all could be grieving if I stopped believing
I was almost a dead man it gave me a reason
Only gonna be here once, so imma make it last
And I'm working till I'm numb, and I ain't living fast
All the good things I'm scheming
When I close my eyes dreaming
Only gonna be here once, so imma make it last
And I'm working till I'm numb, and I ain't living fast
All the good things I'm scheming
When I close my eyes dreaming
