Nathan Johnson - Set Sail

Copied!
Yeah
Uh
Problem child, growing up was a struggle
I tell you first hand Momma's best advice is be humble
'Cause you never know when God decides to take it away
You'll be left on the street hungry, lookin' for a place to stay
I took some notes watching all of my peers
Hoping one day I'll be able surf a wave and sail outta here
But those is just dreams, funny cause it's hard to get rest
I'm writing this at one am, insomniac from the stress
Weighin' down onna nigga feel like I'm building my body
Or like I'm climbing a building but gettin' caught in the lobby
My emotions get thе best of me, they tеll me keep it together
So I tied myself down but now all ties are severed
Feel so alone inside a world where everyone want attention
Nobody looking to God but everyone wanna blessin'
Constant tension and provocation to start a war
It's like we beggin' for that bomb at our door
(These niggas trippin')
It seems we all been gettin' caught in the struggle
Stuck onna puzzle that's causing us trouble
You just tryna hustle but
Sometimes you gotta take the L
And though it hurts like hell
Let that wind take you away, boy just set sail
I get lost in the wind often, I act on whims
Set the stage for losses hoping I'll gain a win
Puttin' pressure on myself to make amends
But the more that I apply myself the more my mental walls start to thin
I'm just a boy with a dream to make a change
Using words from a pen and maybe make me some change
So I jot my little notes and tell my stories of pain
And stuff I witnessed hopin' maybe people can relate
These long nights followed by these even longer days
Stressing over blowing up or even gettin' plays
I'm looking forward to the days where I'm gettin paid
Living life such a shame, I'm stranded onna plane
Anxiety through the roof, with my confidence strained
I wanna change but I'm still the same
(This nigga crazy)
It seems we all been gettin' caught in the struggle
Stuck onna puzzle that's causing us trouble
You just tryna hustle but
Sometimes you gotta take the L
And though it hurts like hell
Let that wind take you away, boy just set sail
And every wave you crash into, only strengthens you
You can either learn to swim or allow your surroundings to drown you
What do you wanna do?
