[00:15.95]My body's here and my mind is present
[00:19.65]The beating of my heart is loud as it is incessant
[00:22.49]I wanna address it
[00:23.53]But I still got a long way to go
[00:25.51]I'm so young
[00:26.70]What the hell do I know?
[00:29.56]I know we grow with the mentality
[00:31.21]That our reality is governed by money
[00:33.16]And somehow that's running our whole mortality
[00:35.39]We're tightly bind to refuse to get behind
[00:37.86]And we act like we don't mind it
[00:39.29]But the fact is we're too blind to see it
[00:41.36]We keep waitin' for the stars to align
[00:43.48]For the perfect time to try
[00:44.89]The perfect beat and rhymе
[00:46.08]When deep inside we strivе to live life
[00:48.44]And yet the money's got us too scared to try
[00:50.96]Why?
[00:51.58]See I grew up with my head in the clouds
[00:54.19]And no force on the planet
[00:55.61]That could bring that down
[00:56.75]So when a storm tore the sky
[00:58.34]And swore that I should stop it
[00:59.65]I said"Hell nah man I'ma top it"
[01:02.13]And it was the music that got me through
[01:03.91]And I'm cruisin'
[01:04.60]And I don't care 'bout the bruises I got
[01:06.47]Or how much I'm losin'
[01:07.34]The point of this is I'm choosin' to be here now
[01:09.88]I'm a fuse that's attached to a bomb
[01:11.25]That could go off at any moment
[01:12.70]Ka-plow
[01:13.95]I'm a fluid
[01:14.48]I find a crevice go through it
[01:15.86]Every obstacle I say"screw it"
[01:17.37]And the odds can go kiss my gluteus maximus
[01:20.13]Who is gonna have the courage to do this
[01:22.07]If we can believe it was stupid?
[01:23.54]In reality we're just human
[01:25.10]Here's a piece of me I can prove it
[01:27.57]I could stop right now
[01:29.33]Go back to my hometown
[01:30.69]Relax and slow down
[01:32.37]I see people glarin' and starin'
[01:34.06]Throughout the mass crowd
[01:35.27]And I have the urge to give up
[01:36.70]And to sit my ass down
[01:38.26]But I wanna survive 'til the last round
[01:40.29]Make it past now and pass down
[01:42.00]The idea that even the class clown
[01:44.00]Might become the world's best comedian
[01:46.09]And we should all strive to be the outlier
[01:48.16]Not just the median
[01:49.36]And everybody's is lookin' for the secret ingredient
[01:52.04]Well there is none
[01:53.04]It's hard and it's tough and it's tedious
[01:55.35]But that's what I stand for
[01:56.85]If you have a dream believe in it
[01:58.38]And don't become too greedy for the green
[02:00.09]'Cause it's convenient
[02:01.29]I'm preaching dreams
[02:02.40]Shooting darts in the dark
[02:03.69]'Cause the hardest part is getting the artist in you
[02:05.91]To start to follow your heart
[02:07.64]And now that I'm on a roll
[02:09.08]My gut says"Get off the stage man go"
[02:12.11]But I resist and I refuse
[02:13.66]And I persist and I pursue
[02:15.37]And I'm scouring my brain
[02:16.56]For any words that I can use
[02:18.10]'Cause life is like a freestyle man
[02:20.05]You know it's true
[02:20.92]You figure it out as you go
[02:22.27]And slowly get into the groove
[02:23.92]You can do something beautiful
[02:25.39]And meaningful too
[02:26.64]You could open up your heart
[02:27.78]And let the feelings come through
[02:29.46]Write a freakin' musical
[02:30.67]If you got something to prove
[02:32.23]But the most important thing
[02:33.58]Is that you keep doin' you
[02:38.44]My body's here and my mind is present
[02:42.94]I've got a long way to go
[02:45.09]But I've learned one lesson
[02:48.77]Every heart holds a melody
[02:50.68]It'll tell you where to steer
[02:53.32]But only if you listen
[02:55.34]So what do you hear?
