Remake It (feat. Afterthought)
I went from Medication
To Meditation
Was ignorin' the man in the mirror
I had to face it
Was lyin' on the pavement
With my face split
Threw my self worth out the window
Had to replace it
I rise when the bass hits
Seeking greatness
Tryna get up to the Top Tier from the basement
You want the proper placement?
You gotta take it
Fuck all that fake shit
If its broken then Remake It!
Socked in the face by someone who said they love me
Who thought had my intention
Now I'm feelin' lowly
What kinda love is that?
An impostor love that angers
Lookin' at a friend suddenly become a stranger
Couldn't sense the danger
Couldn't keep a secret
Couldn't tell a tall tale
Here's the truth, now peep it
Lost in conception
Strivin' for perfection
Buildin' on a sand beach
Dreamin' of some upkeep
What the fuck does life leave?
All I know, it cuts deep
What the hell's a dream when your dream's revealed as ugly?
Set the stride and keep pace
Holler at a new fish
Speedin' up the heart rate
Like I had a death wish
Man, another closed case
'Nother close call
Hopin' on a new way
Passin' on a broke ball
You know that I won't stall
Keep above the surface
Never knew an MC could do such a service
I went from Medication
To Meditation
Was ignorin' the man in the mirror
I had to face it
Was lyin' on the pavement
With my face split
Threw my self worth out the window
Had to replace it
I rise when the bass hits
Seeking greatness
Tryna get up to the Top Tier from the basement
You want the proper placement?
You gotta take it
Fuck all that fake shit
If its broken then Remake It!
No problem ever got better by you avoidin' it
You think it's over wit?
You just turned that shit to an ornament
More it fuckin grows
More that your people point at it
Could cause a King to lose a chance to ever have a throne to sit
Though I was hearin' my conscience, I was ignorin' it
Boozin' on the regular
DEATH is who I was toyin' with
And the Reaper never fuckin' play
Life is delicate
Notice the negatives, nigga
Fuck the fake benefits
I took that whiskey and bourbon like it was medicine
All day, almost every day. Consecutive.
Every fuckin' week, turnin' into a degenerate
I just share my story for perspective, be preventative
Probably coulda been a motherfuckin' Chief Executive
Drownin sorrows in college
Opportunity exited
That's why these rhymes ain't edited
You gotta let yourself FEEL what you fuckin' feel
Stop suppressin' shit
But it's never too late, like George Eliot said
Plus I'm too competitive to let a loss settle in
Makin' use of all the drive I inherited
Findin' positive in every moment that I get to live
I've had homies die from it bro, addiction real
It's a DISEASE and better BELIEVE
It WILL KILL.
Steady prayin' for the day
Souls won't spill
'Cause we tryna find an escape from the world's ill will
What's ya vice? Snort white? Maybe pop pills?
I'm not tryna preach
For the peeps
Tryna feel thrill
But there could be a better way to be
Where you feel no holes
Where you just feel free
Just know...
Even if all you feel is defeat
No matter the circumstances, you could get back on your feet
You're never really alone in your struggle, though so it seems
Mac said "I make my mistakes They don't make ME"
Learned how to meditate
Now I'm Free from anxiety
No more doctor prescribed poison floating inside a g
You need help? Just ask for it.
Redeem.
It's all about belief
That's how I remade...ME
I went from Medication
To Meditation
Was ignorin' the man in the mirror
I had to face it
Was lyin' on the pavement
With my face split
Threw my self worth out the window
Had to replace it
I rise when the bass hits
Seeking greatness
Tryna get up to the Top Tier from the basement
You want the proper placement?
You gotta take it
Fuck all that fake shit
If its broken then Remake It!
One day at a time
Just take it one day at a time
(I SAID DON'T EVER LOSE HOPE)
One day at a time
Just take it one day at a time
(I SAID DON'T EVER LOSE HOPE)
One day at a time
Just take it one day at a time...
