Stay Grounded
Sittin at home
Headphones, pennin' these poems
While people steady blowin' up my phone
I just wanna be left alone
It sucks, but when it comes to your dreams you are all on your own
It's a Friday night- I've been working all week
All I wanna do is go out, get drunk, search for a freak
But that is not in the plans, so now I'm gettin' questions like
"Yo, what is wrong with you man?"
Not a damn thing, I'm tryna lay the foundation
For a vision that I got & stop procrastinatin'
Remind myself I got a different destination
So my moves ain't the same as the average occupation
It's something that I struggle with
At times I wonder if I even got a gift
Sick of workin double shifts on this overtime grind
But if I keep me eyes on the prize
I just know I'm gonna get mine

Stay Grounded, Stay Focused
One step, one day at a time
One left, one right watch 'em fall into line
Crawl, walk, run- yup, that is how we're designed
Art imitates life, please keep that in mind
Don't mimic wack rappers with deceit in their lines
Make your own way, fuck the blind leading the blind
Sometimes I wonder how we even got this far
But ever since we left the caves we've been following stars
I'm just looking for a change of pace
Can you still lose if you never run the race?
I think you can, so I gotta make my own plans
Take this shit into my own hands
It isn't up for debate
I'm like Achilles as he chooses his fate
Would he rather be happy or great, remembered or forgotten?
Thoughts like this got my stomach knottin
Up at night plottin, never stoppin
I'm takin my shot, kid
