Today [Single] (Sneak Peek)

This song is about my musical journey and the idea that I'll keep making music everyday or at least as much as I can regardless of the challenges, because I changed everything to do this and I meant it when I said I'd do this for the rest of my life. I ditched a 9-5 to do this shit everyday.

Intro

Lately
I’ve been waking up a lot
From my sleep
Cause that's when the dream
Goes and seems to weave
Between belief
And our reality
Clearly I can see
Every ends to a mean
I just smoke trees
And speak
On these things
Before they all asleep
Unaware of the scene
They conceive
Need to grow
Live and breathe
It seems to be
Such a wonderful life but now
I stop and think

1st Verse

I've been talking all my life
Only a few years now
I’ve been talking with a mic
About a sight I had in mind
A vision about religions
All these dollars, and divines
If you think I'm out of line
You should give this shit a try
Question the all lies
If you've got the time to redefine
Cause all this time is mine
And soon you’ll come to find
Me on the grind
I’ve been working with this process
On all these projects
And they up next

Chorus

Today
Is just another wake
Keep this going at a pace
Anytime we down to blaze
Ditched a 9-5
To do this shit everyday
24/7
I ain’t ask for pay
I’ve been playing to the music
Use that shit to kill the pain
Or a way to celebrate
This is just another wake
Keep this going at a pace
You should stay out the way
I ditched a 9-5
To do this shit everyday
I ain’t even ask for pay
That’s just how I play
Hey

2nd Verse

Out today
Or tomorrow
Hard to know
I’m riding solo
I just go where I go
I do what I do
Then I smoke what I smoke
I ain’t got shit to prove
But I got shit to roll
Wait hold up
You know us
It’s no rush
It’s all love
Impact change
We’ve grown up
My gift is
I show up
And you’ve had bout enough
Of these rhymes
I can’t lie
I’d probably do this all the time
If I wouldn’t lose my mind
Like I’m doing now
So if I’m going down
I’d like to go out in style
Each day can be blessing
Any day can be hell
So I’m living each day
Cause there’s no way to tell
Write it down so I can heal
Put it out so I can help
Tried to keep it real
Talking what I’ve felt
Any hate you feeling
Yo that’s really bout yourself
Trust me on this one
It’s really something else
I got to change it up
New perspective
On the shelf

Chorus

Verse 3

I can see that
You only wanting stacks
And you just want to party
You ain’t never coming back
You don’t put in time to practice
If that’s how you act then
You should know what happens
We just lay the facts and
Deal with the reactions
People asleep
Problem is they don’t know
A nightmare from a dream
In this world of make believe
I’ve chosen to see
The mysticism
Which decision
Leads me closer to the vision
On a mission
I’m driven
Given
The state
Of the states
And irate places
Going crazy
On fake shit
Writing our wrongs
So we can make it
Make sense
Meet peace
And make amends
