about

An outlook about living fearlessly in the moment

lyrics

And that’s tonight?
Right? Yeah, Ok. Aight
Cuz it’s 1:01 AM
And I’m inspired to write
Plus I’m thinking too deep
Can’t sleep or count sheep
I wanna take the leap
But with no safety net I’m mad nervous
Friends question if you can
As you lose the motivation
Second guessin’ your decision
Now ya contemplating
Not livin’ in the moment
Thinking way too far ahead
Take the L prematurely
You ain’t even tried yet
Yeah the climb was rough
But I’m enjoyin’ the view
It’s the way we see ourselves
So that others can too
That’s why I refuse
To play it safer than schools
Unfortunately with the news
We’re all too close to death
Last day on earth
What exactly would you do?
Multiply that by 7 and then 52
That’s 360 all year no fear
To be 100 percent yourself
Straight up livin’ your truth

I don’t wanna wait another day to begin
My new story starts when the old one ends
Let go of regrets, hold on to friends
I’m gonna start my life

No more holding back, I’m a speak my mind
Even when they tell me that I’m out of line
The truth may hurt but it’s not a crime
I’m gonna start my life

These invisible ailments
Impale a spot in my heart
That I wish you could see but maybe
That’s too dark
Yeah U got it bad
But you can usher and walk
My man lost his leg
And that was after crashin his car
But don’t to stop and stare
Apologize cuz he don’t care
Under the sun we are one,
Republic of the players
Wise words Bruce
Be like water my friend
We can adapt to anything
Shout outs to Shannon and Wren
Cuz y’all keep his spirit live
And it constantly reminds
Me, we gotta express
Ourselves authentically
Say the way we feel
Live unapologetically
Appreciate where we at
Not where we think we didn’t get to be
I’m good with your sympathy
I just want understanding
Might look like I don’t struggle
But my brain is crippled, panting
Recanting my past
So I can let go of the story
Cause I know that I’m blessed
This all happened for me

I don’t wanna wait another day to begin
My new story starts when the old one ends
Let go of regrets, hold on to friends
I’m gonna start my life

No more holding back, I’m a speak my mind
Even when they tell me that I’m out of line
The truth may hurt but it’s not a crime
I’m gonna start my life

If you love somebody
Tell them right now
If you love somebody
Tell them right now
If you love somebody
Tell them right now
Cuz we only got now
We only got now

And life is too short
For them to never know
Words go a long way
But actions travel the globe
Whatever’s missin to make you happy
I really hope you find it
Realize it won’t happen
Scrollin’ other people’s lives and
No matter what they say
Kill em all with kindness
Don’t be blinded by rage
You’ll be stuck in the same place
Losing days cuz you’re upset
Guarantee it isn’t worth it
A grudge is like your holding heat
Who does it really end up hurtin’?
You – just like when you’re silent
So don’t just speak what your mind says
Follow your heart
Consider this the start dog
The Renaissance of your life
And remember new beginnings
Never come without sacrifice

I don’t wanna wait another day to begin
My new story starts when the old one ends
Let go of regrets, hold on to friends
I’m gonna start my life

No more holding back, I’m a speak my mind
Even when they tell me that I’m out of line
The truth may hurt but it’s not a crime
I’m gonna start my life
