Can it get me through the Day and Night
Every second on my mind that passes by
Reflecting on the past, worrying about my future
Just to stay in line
I have to stay focused
Before I run out of time
But this tidal wave, got my mind stuck
Feeling hypnotised
Thinking about what happened back in 2017
That’s when my path started
On my way journeying to my dream
Had to dive in head first
Now entering a world of struggles that I’m constantly in between
But It’s all for endurance
Just to reach to my ultimate dream
People want me to be ecstatic but they don’t know I’m dealing with stress
I had to break ties with my family who wanted to put my dreams to rest
They live in a life of oblivity making it hard to vent
So I keep it up all bottled up instead of trying to confess
They want to throw a distraction in my face
Then preach to it like it’s Almighty God
But to me I think it wastes time
That can’t beat all the odds
All it is something that will put my life on pause
Not a solution that’ll help me get to the top
I keep my dreams in mind
Working my way up with an ideal
Stay positive and remain diligent
Until it’s no longer a dream and becomes real
Taking any opportunity given
Forging my own fate and sealed
Don’t throw no distractions in my way
Cause how can it help me?
How can it get me through the day?
What can stop the gloom from the stress?
How can it stop the rain?
I got problems on my mind that just won’t go away
Filling me up anxiety, keeping me up at night
Typing away until I can see a clear path
Until it vanishes along with this fright
Keep on writing out my heart
Until it’s out of sight of mind
I look at my dream as if it were a game of chess
Pondering on strategic moves I should take
And how i’ll become my very best
Looking at the bigger picture
Finally deciding on the move that comes next
I try to avoid mistakes like impulses
Ignore them like the plague
They’re like rip currents trying to drag you into the ocean
Cause the impulses are always so vague
When my mind sometimes slips
Yearning to be impulsive
A thought plays back to me like a clip
“Can it get me through the day and night?”
Can it get me through the day and night?
How can it change my world?
What can strip away this anxiety and fright?
What can take care of my troubles?
How can I get this gloom out of my life?
