Chorus:
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, $#&@ that, we are on some other %#@!

call it what you want but mother$#&@er you know what it is
i'll $#&@ing bleed for it, ask them, they know
color me in sepia they are $#&@in' 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
$#&@ing 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 $#&@ing 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 instructions to this %#@! so I add another piece

playing legos with my life I am tryna build a dream
arts and crafts day build it from scratch
construction 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
