I’m bad at so many things but I’m worst at being me
As I’m stuck in this hazy island town
Where people are fucked with narcissism
And racism is basically a heritage thing
Cultures divided, prejudices thriving
I can’t live with these fuckups around me
Home is just too far away
I’m missing my friends and family
I’m slowly losing myself
Won’t you please help me find me?
I always wanna make myself a better man
But it seems my passion is dying
No, I’m not gonna let that happen
I’m gonna give all that I can
For myself, for God, for all the ones I love
For the tears and the joy that will never be enough
For the stars that I gaze, the earth under my feet
For the dreams that I have since I was a kid
For my faith, for my dad, for my saviors
For the journey ahead of us
For me
I’ve been running away from responsibilities (for far too long)
Now that Abah’s gone, the anchor’s passed down to me (and I can’t swim)
I can barely crawl to make it through the night
If this year would just end, I think we’d all be alright
I smoke my lungs with THC again and again
Hoping these two months to pass as fast as they can
All these vultures are slowly devouring me
All my meat they eat will turn into poison, they’ll see
I’ll keep on climbing
The world’s an ugly place
Why don’t we just decorate this space?
I’m not a self-help book
But I’ll try to write one with my friends
