I gotta get it,
I gotta get it
I gotta get it..

I gotta get it 'fore I die, OR DO I
Opened up my eyes uh maybe too wide
I was thinkin I saw too much (too much)
Now I'm thinking, naww I grew up (I grew up)
No swagger on the path less traveled
Step by step in a life-death battle
Chains on me, chains on my brain
Change what I fear now that fear brings pain
Oh fear, YUHH, you're a deathly devil
Ya never let me move in the nightmare's peril
Fight for my right to love and at night
gain strength from the lights above, UH GIMME STRENGTH GOD
Oh the power's astounding, the whole universe that is in and around me I found it
Reach out, BREATHE STRETCH FLOSS
Live life, no matter the cost
I gotta get it everyday when I wake
Can't fake hard work, no sir oh this is gon' take
Everything that I got just to get a little better
When I get a little better gotta get a little better GOTTA PUSH
Look up, that dirt is worthless
See it in the sky the inevitable purpose
I'm diggin deep still just scratchin the surface
And with every word, I'm a brand new person

Hook:
We chase ghosts, make toasts, mistakes and we pray and we hope
That it's all good, maybe one day we'll get to where it's all good

I gotta get it 'fore I die, OR DO I
Opened up my eyes uh maybe too wide
I was thinkin I saw too much
Now I'm thinking, naww I grew up (x2)

I been there, seven sin veteran
Dosin myself with that lyrical medicine
Everyday gettin better than its ever been
Hit rock bottom and I been climbing ever since
Thin line 'tween blind and enlightened,
tyrant and titan, dyin and fightin
Erase that, take it all in
Face facts with a small grin, DON'T FALL IN
To the abyss, I'm thru with the gimmicks
I gotta make music DUDE I gotta listen
I got the gift of now, I got it figured out
I'm gettin bigga by the house I am infinite now
All I need in my life is a beat and a mic and the people I feel alright with (alrightt)
I been searchin for answers
24, still learnin my manners
I fell hard when my dad got cancer
Always saw him as a man that you can't hurt
Now it hurts him to laugh so he smiles bright
And yeah it still hurts bad but I'm aight
Came to grips with the fact that I'm mortal
Came to grips with the fact that I'm poor too
And the only way out is up,
And if that isn't hip hop, then what?
