They're hiding secrets, from everyone of us
for so long now it's hard to decide who to trust
Unite as one, yeah that we must
the ignorance of society, though it seems a little bit suss.
Stand up as one n ask all the big questions
like any human mystery they don't want you to mention.
Watch them cause a panic in any big city
They can kill a few more because their hands are already gritty.
We run the world on oil but only in the name of profit
And in 2013 it might be too late to stop it
but on the other hand yo, it might not because in the grand scheme of things the earth is only just a tiny spot
And as slowly as we can, we kill it for the money in our hand
Understand, that we should all share the same n one vision
but to make it become a reality we gotta make some hard decisions.
Hold up because that's where a problem lies,
humans are so comfy, livin' their shitty lives
One day we all might think the same but until then yo, you've only got you to blame like, the more I think about it, the more it gets to me
Why are all the rich people so fuckin' greedy huh?
They have everything but still they want more,
they wanna control our minds, they even tell us when to go to war
But it's not enough, nah they won't stop there
they wont stop until all we do is sit n stare.
I'm just sayin that we could all live in a better place n maybe one day we could all be a better race.

When you're a kid they say follow your dreams, but my only dream was to play on the dream team
Obviously that was never gonna happen so I either had to find a new one or just imagine
Any type of thing that I could ever think of, think for too long n my brain would switch off
For a kid this is a lot to handle, it's almost like life is one big scandal right?
Chill out cos I won't get too deep, too deep n you'll probably fall asleep
We'll just take it a few bars at a time, think of it as another story only mine
Ridin' BMX, havin' sex with the ex I'm pretty sure I broke up with that one in a text, damn, those were the good old days but now the days are better because the past is just a haze.
There's still a lot of dreams out there somewhere ready to be plucked by anyone from the air
A lot of people forget and others never cared, but when you succeed these are the ones that a gonna stare
At you in your new fancy car, at you throwin' cash over every bar
Givin' you a look like you don't deserve none of it, but little do they know you earned every bit of profit
The only difference is you had a dream n went for it, while they stayed at home n only just saw it
I admire anyone that had a vision, n had the fuckin' balls to make the hard decisions
I'm not sayin' it's an easy thing to do but if you grow a set you could probably do it too
Wake up everyday n attempt to change your life
But if your feelin' good then your doin' it right.

Reflect
04:10

Chorus:
Reflecting on my life
N I will never know why
The reasons that I lied
Until the day I die
Take time to reflect, take time to reflect, take time to reflect so that you can say you have no regrets.
Verse one:
Reflecting on things that I've done so far
I used to quit a lot of shit cos it got too hard
I'd pick it up, put it down, I took the easy way out
Left myself with nothing but self doubt
And it felt like shit, so I changed my life n the way that I lived it
Kept telling myself it's gonna get better
But inside I felt just a little bit deader
I put the mask on that you call a smile
It's been this way for a very long while
I can't find a place to call my home cos I lived in fear of the unknown
They say you gain culture, as you get older
But I feel like I'm stuck like a chain on a bolder or like I'm trapped n a prison, but with experience I gain more wisdom
But it's just not enough, I gotta push through when life gets tough
Instead of whinging n feelin sorry for myself
I'll focus on things like my own mental health
And maybe one day I can help someone else
Cos life with a purpose is what it's all about
To me every year they get a bit faster, So it becomes harder to be my own master.
Chorus
Verse two:
In case you haven't noticed I'm not one of you
I'm a little bit different in every point of view
I get out of bed on the right side
This world can be so ugly sometimes I'd rather hide
It's like I'm not movin fast, you're just stuck in slow mo
Or it seems that way to me cos I'm so small though
Either way I shouldn't really care, cos we all have to share the same air
I used to let insults get the very best of me
Felt sorry for myself like my life was a tragedy
I woke up one day n I shrugged off the apathy
Now I soak up all the peace n serenity
I don't expect you to understand where I stand
Or why I'm even here with my pen in my hand
To be honest sometimes I don't either man
I jump in the deep end without a back up plan
Lucky for me I don' t take life seriously
I feel bad for people that do ridiculously
It's your choice if you wanna live happily
Too many people choose to spread hate, yeah sadly
Make time for reflections
Cos some things need more attention
N other things need no mention
This is why I'm always stressin'
Chorus

I guess one day we all wake up
Look in the mirror like what the fuck?
Is this me? N where am I goin? How'd I get here n who am I known?
Is it my fault that my life sucks? Or is it one of those things like bad luck?
Either way it's time for a change, switch things up so my life is re-arranged
Meet new people n see new places but keep in mind where my home base is
I guess that's one thing I'll never forget
I guess that's one thing I'll never regret
I need my people to keep me grounded
Cos I had lost my shit, but then I found it
While everybody tip toes around it, I embrace it like the horns are sounded
Most mental pain is self inflicted
So I shrug it off before I fall in deep shit
Get out of any hole that I've ever dug
Yeah the fat lady, well the bitch has sung
I always thought that there had to be more
Even though people always said that the world's small
I gotta know what's behind that wall
N I don't give a fuck if I fly or fall
Over think nothing n live life free
That is something I wish to achieve
A lot of people say that I can if I believe but that's one thing I just cannot see
I don't even care if I have to restart
Cos I had the balls to follow my own heart
Say goodbye to everything that I know
Now I've packed my bags so catch ya, catch ya gotta go

Best Of Days

Sometimes I feel like I need to get out of here
Not talkin' about the town though, I mean the fuckin' atmosphere
Cos as of lately things are becoming a bit more clear
So if n when I tell you fuck you, know that it is sincere
I don't yet but maybe one day I'll regret it
For putting your brain in the fetal position until I think your gonna need a medic
Don't tell me if you think that I'm pathetic
I'm the best, I'm the king, suck my dick cos I never said it
But I'm pretty good at making bad decisions
So to finally make some good ones, I'm makin' that my brand new mission
Maybe one day it will put me in a better position
But that will not be based on anyone else's opinion, no
I hate it when people ask cos the past is in the past but
then that's probably good because good things never ever last
They slip through your hands like "thanks I had a blast"
N yeah I kinda think that life goes a bit too fast.
Chorus:
It's already 2013
What were the generations thinkin' before you an me?
They started to kill the world before we even had a chance
So now all we do is work, get drunk n dance.
It'd be pretty sweet if life was like a movie cos we need to find some structure to our lives, No wait, do we really?
I kinda like not knowing what the next day will bring
It's almost like life has it's own type of seasoning
In that case I need a lot more of that good shit
Because this same all flavour, I'm gettin pretty sick of it
No one ever died from change, or even if they did
It doesn't change a thing I'd still rather live life like a kid
Some days just getting out of bed n walking is like tryin' to use the Jedi mind trick on Steven Hawking
Okay, I guess I just over exaggerated, over exaggerated might even be a bit of an understatement
We should probably be about peace, love and unity
But we seem to be a bit more into stupidity
Oh well, I guess we're all fucked anyways
So I hope you all have the very best of days.
