La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La It's gone have to be alright Be alright, be alright, be alright Long as I make it through the night It's gone have to be alright Be alright, be alright, be alright Long as I make it through the night They told me there's light at the end of the tunnel But how do I see it They told me I'm full of potential I know, but how do I be it How do I How do I keep making that same mistake Damn, why I gotta make it so complicated Yeah, and I swear I'm not no rookie I been on it since the homies At the school was playing hookie tho Yeah, go against the grain they call you Rufio I know life ain't sweet But I tried to mold it like it's cookie dough I don't have it all I don't have it all I don't have it all Figured out right now I don't have it all I don't have it all I don't have it all Figured out right now It's gone have to be alright Be alright, be alright, be alright Long as I make it through the night It's gone have to be alright Be alright, be alright, be alright Long as I make it through the night I wonder if life is testing my patience Maybe I been too complacent Taking too many vacations And I forgot what I'm chasing I need to go back when I started this Cooking up beats in the basement When I would put songs on a compact disc When I was just trying to make it I guess I been living too comfortable Playing around in Oasis When you can't even GoFund It no more, That's when you meet desperation What do you do when Your motivation ain't enough Do you crash out When you cashed out And you assed out I look inside the mirror Like I can't believe we back here Thought we passed this level And we made it to the next tier We plan, God laughs Autumn made that so clear Will I lose it all Now I'm faced with my worst fear Do it yourself Do it myself Do it yourself I can do it myself Then do it yourself

Find your way Find your way Find your way Find your way Lately I been free and leaving my mind open Getting back to me and attempting to be social Living in the moment not going through the motions Because I be lost when I'm out here floating I know pride, I know broke, I know broken I know highs, I know lows, I know hopeless I don't cry that doesn't mean I'm soul-less It means I need solutions that are better than emotions Who do you run to when you the pioneer When you the trailblazer but the vision isn't clear And people giving advice ain't never been here Always wanna drive the boat but you ain't even learn to steer By the way I wrote these words inside my hideaway When I spent some time away far the cyberspace Never underestimate some time away It could turn a cloudy night thought to a brighter day Find a way Find a way Find a way Find a way I feel I give the best advice To everyone except myself It's like my mind goes blank When I need my help I been told I'm too strategic And need to leave it Jesus I'm always seeking a deeper meaning In things that are meaningless This is my weakness But part of my genius If you delete ingredients You will never see me again Food for thought, they get a taste And want to bring a friend Friend tries to customize The dish and now it's different If ain't broke then don't fix your mouth If you don't own hammer don't fix my house If that man got hope then he gone figure it out Because he don't do for the cameras Or the scream and the shouts I feel closer to God when I isolate Clear minded when I meditate Can you relate I watch them rat race in a microwave While I'm sitting here plotting by the fireplace Find a way Find a way Find a way Find a way I'm gone get away for awhile I don't know where I'll end up I'm going to take some time to myself

I always been the sinning one The black sheep giving love Even when I was in the mud My energy was giving love My energy is like a Cinnabon I'm granny son She's Miyagi im Daniel son I get it done Mr Crane kick like I'm the one I turn my pain into check I showed up for myself Broke the chain of regret I checked up on myself I put down self doubt Talking about pulling up and hop out, ooo I faded the threat My light be making them sweat I got hart like Bret ooo I created my own Located my throne I painted my road Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold I created my own Located my throne I painted my road Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold I keep my head above the sky Like I can't find just where the ceiling is I am in a sense I guess a synonym of winning big When I reminisce and run it back like Emmit Smith I turned my innocence to discipline When words became my instrument Life is like a doctor it will test your patience Especially if you're awkward can I get an amen But rather than be an imposter I chose to face it I made my pain into a show I feel like Larry David I created my own Located my throne I painted my road Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold I created my own Located my throne I painted my road Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold Turned pain into gold

It don't matter what you say Because it's gone happen anyway It don't matter what you say Because it's gone happen anyway, yeah I'm on a high road Driving with my eyes closed I know it's frightful I know you're spiteful But it's delightful Once you let your light glow You in denial but it's alright tho Hold up it's the locomotive You know you can't stop the train I know you tried bro Now play the side ho All I gotta say is I got now And I am here to stay, yeah So won't you hop up out my face Wait It don't matter what you say Because it's gone happen anyway, yeah Till the sun goes down Till the sun goes down Till the sun goes down Till the sun goes down Listen Do not let these people Ever tell you that you are not God given, God gifted man This is your time Let the tears and the struggle And the hustle be worth it There are no fears You are abundant Abundance in all things In all ways Ain't no time to reminisce It's time to shine Curtiss King this gone be your time

You seem so far away You seem so far away You seem so far away And I know I know I know you're on your way I know you're on your way I know you're on your way But you seem so far away I'm done playing the psychic No more playing the pilot No more driving a car Through fog without a license God I know you never asked Me to be your sidekick But I been grinding since The Motorola Sidekick I see a couple of the Homies enterprising And I be so proud to see A Black man rising And getting all the prizes They dedicated their life to But I was wondering When I would be invited 20 years ago I made predictions About the future When I plugged a soundcard In my bedroom computer Thought I'd be a super producer With all the Mula Till I learned the Music industry nothing But high schoolers Grown ass men taking Pennies to the face The label take it all And ain't nobody getting paid Couldn't be me i need the Freedom not the middle man We finally making G's but I know God got some bigger plans Bigger Plans Bigger Plans But when You seem so far away You seem so far away You seem so far away And I know I know I know you're on your way I know you're on your way I know you're on your way But you seem so far away You seem so far away You seem so far away You seem so far away You seem so far away Here's to union oil 100 miles of pipeline And all the independent producers Of this great state

I wanted you to be the hero And live your best life I tried to give you the cheat code And then you left, right That made me feel like I lacked the drive And met a red light That made me feel like I was a deer Caught in the headlights But see what if that was the answer That I've been searching for What if I had to meet denial Before I earned the shore What if I never got the ring alert And never heard the door, Sometimes my faith a empty room And I think I need more Inside my mind there is a Algorithm worth billons That I will never find If I keep sharing ideas with idiots They can't see the Revelation When you are at your Genesis But they gone see me elevating Because I now know what the vision is I'm serious Told them I would get it on my own Get it on my own Get it on my own And we'll go slowly Slowly slowly We'll go slowly Slowly slowly Told them I would get it on my own Get it on my own Get it on my own And we'll go slowly Slowly slowly We'll go slowly Slowly slowly I could never settle sitting neutral Long as we heading somewhere fruitful I don't mind if we go too slow no I don't mind if we go too slow no Sometimes I wanna fast forward Yeah Just fly all days I don't even need a passport Yeah ugh First class know jack Curtiss Put me in my Jansport J Yeah I'm producing a lot I just been focused on doing the job I cannot slow and I move like a clock Yeah Things on mind I leave inside I bring to rhymes I speak on vibes I bleed my grind possibly to a fault Chip at the block they wouldn't help I couldn't stop stick to the script Moving the plot had to omit give it a crop It's down to a tee We never talk war I'm at bat we never talk sports They gone flip we call it parkour Put it on tees this is my golf course Yeah, do it yourself Yeah You shouldn't talk more I'll prolly do it myself Yeah You ain't getting my heart more Told them would get it on my own Get it on my own Get it on my own And we'll go slowly Slowly slowly We'll go slowly Slowly slowly Told them would get it on my own Get it on my own Get it on my own And we'll go slowly Slowly slowly We'll go slowly Slowly slowly I could never settle sitting neutral Long as we heading somewhere fruitful I don't mind if we go too slow no I don't mind if we go too slow no You're gonna do it yourself Because you were the one who contracted it Do it yourself Do it myself Do it yourself I can do it myself Then do it yourself
