Need It

It's crazy how the time pass

It's feeling like a time lapse

Going over everything while looking down this empty wine glass

I take a look around man while I'm skipping on this night glass

Living trapped inside the system

When I try to do it I max

I'm writing down my story and I hope this ain't the climax

All I see is lost hope and people getting side tracked

Thinking they go broke if they ever try

To high jack this corrupted fucking system

Watch me hit em with a bypass

I only follow my map

Don't give me no directions kid I'm tryna live it high class

You ain't welcome in this section

2017 is my class but I don't feel no connection

Because all I see are life hacks tryna run from this oppression

All I do is wake up

Get to work and chase a dream

I won't let a damn degree or anybody get between

Y'all are glued and stuck to screens

I'm pursuing make believe and I'm not sure which one is crazier

Sometimes I think it's me but I still give all I got

I'm tryna break out of these chains

I'm tryna give these dreams a shot

I just hope I got the aim

Because honestly if not I'm scared

To feel all of that pain of getting tied up

In a knot and having nobody to save me from myself

This right here is my life force

Anything and everything that I stay alive for

You wanna try and take it from me

Fuck it, I'll die for it

I'm building up my legacy ain't something there's time for

It's all I think about every minute on my mind

It's all I drink about when I'm eroded from that grind

It's all I ever wanted man I guess I'll know in time

If chasing after make believe will make the stars go in a line

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep

That you can't breathe

That you can't eat

That you can't speak

That you can't leave or back up in the past

You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last

That's how you know you really need it

That's how you know you really need it

When you working while they sleeping

And you searching for a reason

Tryna make the world believe it

You and everybody's sleeping

Ah, yeah

That's how you know you really need it

That's how you know you really need it

When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it

You can have it if you dream it

Manifest and learn to beat it

Ah, yeah

It's crazy how life goes

Everybody's ticking all around for those high notes

But when you just a foot above the ground on a tight rope

Drowning, needing help

They ain't providing no life boats

I'm back in that white coat

Cooking something crazy in the lab

I'm finding comfort in insanity

It's something that you have

If you been chasing after dreams then honestly

I'm kinda glad because the worst thing that

They taught me was insanity is bad

All this humanity I have is not destroyed but it's eroded

I never knew to get stronger that you've gotta be broken

I never knew that doors close just so others could open

I guess that's why they remind you that thorns come with the roses

Now every motherfucking moment I got eyes on my back

Once you got a foundations when they pray you collapse

Kid I still haven't made it don't tell me to relax

Cause I got people that hate this that probably setting their traps

It's nothing but facts

It's all I think about inside my head

It's all that keeps me going when I'm hanging by a thread

I'll never have a backup plan or shit to do instead

Cause if I'm not living these dreams then I'm already fucking dead

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep

That you can't breathe

That you can't eat

That you can't speak

That you can't leave or back up in the past

You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last

That's how you know you really need it

That's how you know you really need it

When you working while they sleeping

And you searching for a reason

Tryna make the world believe it

You and everybody's sleeping

Ah, yeah

That's how you know you really need it

That's how you know you really need it

When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it

You can have it if you dream it

Manifest and learn to beat it

Ah, yeah
