Losing My Mind (Intro) I’m just trying to say: What’s real, What’s coming out of my head, What’s coming out of my heart But it’s, hard to stay true to that And to express it in a way that everyone understands… In a way that where everyone can relate…. Weights getting heavier on your back But you just, gotta’ keep in mind That your goals are getting closer and closer With every step that you take. Shit like that you know: Stay motivated, Stay healthy Stay happy. “Peace & Love” All of that shit, you know how it is. Losing my mind ‘Cause this world wont change, They say it will now, and that’s every single day. My heart’s heavy and I’m dazed, We’re living within a maze, Some crush others, simply to find their ways. What simple minded ways I guess it’s simply my mistake, For thinking that this world was a “simple ass” place. I’m rediscovering, every single face Because what lies behind is not what they all say, Words are all fine but, snakes never pay no. Karma only hits all those people with a halo, Who build up their lives, see them crumble like play-do - There is no safe zone, there is no payphone I can’t call for help ‘cause my credit is way low. I won’t conform just ‘cause Media’s say so, Toke in the morn’ I can see all that grey smoke But that’s just me breathing no toxical waste bro: Enter the heathens, complete wastes of space bro… And I’m spaced out, I’ve got to show how, people got to be, But who would want to take example off me? I’m just out here lost like you, I’ve found my path, now that’s not quite true. I’ve, got no mask but I’m not see through. Won’t, front no problems that are past me dude But they say a shared problem is a halved one - True. But every person has got their own wars, Mostly wars in their minds that will never come forth And I try to share mine but I can’t really talk. Love is all fine but I’m not really sure, I was so blinded Now I start finding Bullets in my chest that were shot from behind me, It’s, all bad timing but life won’t wait…. Taking my time just to set things straight… (Chorus) I’m losing my mind, Cause this world won't change. I’m losing my mind, Cause this world won’t change. Why wont this world change? I’ve made mistakes, I hope it’s not too late Please, forgive me girl for all the heartache I, really didn’t think it would end this way Or, end at all… But I guess all stories aren’t, magical… And that’s what I struggle with, I don’t follow people so I get into trouble quick… I don’t need a hit, to get through the day I use it when I need to elevate Get some perspective when the days are grey; But also when they’re great, The down side is my brain cells deteriorate I hear what you say. People say that I’ve changed But I am who I am and I’ll always be the same, Despite any of the bad choices that I’ve made - And I’m still yet to make. My life ain’t straight, Gotta sort things out, ‘Cause I’m riding a wave So, every other night I’m, up on my phone Can’t get no sleep Hoping that these head phones can, bring me relief. Because they’re better than the weed is, better than the sleep is If I gave you a piece of my heart, please keep it. My mind’s a sequence, you won’t understand You’ll get thrown in the deep end with no time to plan… I had time to plan but I’m not yet a man. I’m fighting to be but I’m still Peter Pan. I know that I’m young but I still understand, Not everything I just get what I can. I puzzle the pieces, it don’t seem too bad… And then… All the creases show up and… everything bad. (Chorus) I’m losing my mind, Cause this world won't change. I’m losing my mind, Cause this world won’t change. Why wont this world change?

It’s, Really hard just to sum it up in words I tried to do good, but I couldn’t have done worse. Should have done better, I didn’t wanna’ get hurt. Should have left letters or something to explain but, I couldn’t even write it in a verse… That’s supposed to be the only way my thoughts exert. I guess, I don’t have a valid excuse Cause I’ve always been so mad about you. That look in your eyes only come sin a few, I could see you for miles when you’re coming through - You’re on of a kind, I would recognise, You can’t change that smile on your face Or the look that you give me when you’re in my arms. I hope you forgive me for all of these scars, I hope that you know you’re in all of my bars.. I think of you when I look up to them stars, When I look at how far, we came Why did I give up. I just feel so ashamed; Feel so lame. I pushed you to them and I know I’m to blame But I can not pretend it didn’t kill me to hear what you did. Now, you don’t even know what love is I, could show you if you can forgive I love you so much and it’s so much to give But you’re worth that and more. Without you I’m nothing but poor, Nothing but a shell of what I was before What I was with you. When you’re at my sides there’s nothing I can’t do - But you need to explain: Why did it feel like you were pushing away? At least a month before I made that mistake… Maybe I was tripping, But even my best friend said my mood was dipping, I guess I was spending a lot of time thinking: What if our love was a boat that was sinking? Did you still love me? Something was missing.. Imagining you while I’m sat in the kitchen, Away for a month I didn’t think that you missed me. Then I got high as fuck, ended up kissing a girl, I regretted it straight away ‘cause you’re my girl - ‘Cause you’re my world. Then I got lost in my thoughts I pushed you away ‘cause I wanted you more? I don’t even know how that works, I know I can’t fit what I did with just words! Maybe the pain is just what I deserve.. My heat has been aching, Has been for ages Writing about you I get so frustrated My mind is a puzzle I grasp all the basics, I lost the big game but I had all the Aces… Then, I lost your heart I always knew you were the one from the start At least our start, I couldn’t get used to us being apart. Only an hour that isn’t so hard I could hop on a train and then you’re in my arms. Your voice is so calming, There’s nothing better then seeing you laughing, Taking my sweater without even asking But I couldn’t care less. ‘Cause you’re my darling, Been through some hard times I left at the hardest… Now, I want it all back, I know I’m so selfish, I’m sorry for that. I can only explain through these “sorry ass” raps, I don’t understand how your love is intact - I feel like a criminal, Ripped out your heart then I put it back into you. But, maybe I needed this interval Needed this break, To fix myself up I was digging my grave. Pulling you down I didn’t want you to cave Cause, you are so strong; And you are so brave - You tell me you’re not, But that’s okay ‘cause I know that you are And that won’t ever change. You’re like my start that is guiding the way… I could keep raping for days, When you’re on my mind There’s so much I could say…. Girl, I could keep rapping for days, When you’re on my mind There’s so much I could say….

Something (Verse 1) I need to, Find the positives and never let them go Cause I just plant the seed But then I never let it grow. I guess you reap what you sow I’m so eager to know What the future holds. I take it one step at a time And let the truth unfold, But the fact is, Most of the truth’s untold And the truth becomes apparent When the youths grow old. How many dreams have begun to lose hold? Begun to lose shape like when the sun sets low? But the sun sets low. Pick it back up You ain’t done yet no, You need a whole different mind set to run this show. Run this right from the mic check yo But a mic check might leave you lifeless though, ‘Cause me plus a mic is a life threat yo. I’m just, trying to make the most of what I’ve got And last I checked well, That seemed to be a lot Maybe I got lost a bit And maybe I forgot, That I’ve always been happy But, lately not a lot. And lately I don’t know whether to put my faith in god Because the little faith I have is tipping off the table top. But I, Find a balance and I always pull through Got new memories just to cover up wounds, Never had enemies Hope that that stays true, But people think their lives are like some back page news Like the youth watch soaps then reenact them too. Me I rap these tunes. (He just raps these tunes) Just to relax I roll a fat one too. It really helps me out like It distracts my mood. It sends me to the clouds but I’ll be back down soon. (Chorus) Rose I see people all around me acting strange, But the only real difference is our name. Am I the one that’s strange? I see people all around me acting fake, I’m just always tryn’a keep a straight face. I think I need to change. (Verse 2) For now, (He writes thoughts) I write thoughts, a blank page soon fills, And it takes form, I try to stay real and I try to inform. (He tries to send a message he just hopes it means more) I try to send a message I just hope it means more yo, More to the kids that are now coming fourth They’re growing so fast now, we have to make sure That they take the right path now. We got to fuel their ambitions, Give life to their dreams. They’ve got to live life to know whether want to be. It might take time, It might come aged three I, truly found music when I turned fifteen. Four years going now you can’t stop me You say I can’t be (Say he can’t be) But I can’t not be (But he can’t not be) Cause if I didn’t have music then my heart couldn’t beat, Not in the same way ‘Cause it’s a part of me. A piece of my soul like the master key, It opens all doors That’s a part I need Because without that part I’m only half complete. If you don’t open your eyes You only half can’t see. So open them wide, You’ll see that you’ve got a whole mountain to climb. We’ve all got problems that are mountain high That’s why I grow wings and go scout the sky. Without these words I’m a helpless guy My mind’s at peace when I write these rhymes I don’t always speak But I write more lines. (But he writes more lines) Did I get it right this time? So many draft copies that I might not like I might go wrong but I gain insight - Useful knowledge that I’ll need in fight I mean this life, The two are so different yet so alike. I’m just trying to make a change, I hope that my music can inspire you today Or inspire you tomorrow Just inspire in a way. My thoughts are spiralling away, I hope that my music can inspire you today Or inspire you tomorrow Just inspire in a way. (Chorus) Rose I see people all around me acting strange, But the only real difference is our name. Am I the one that’s strange? I see people all around me acting fake, I’m just always trying to keep a straight face. Am I the one that’s changed?

Growth I just want to be free I just want to be me But I’m finding it hard To swim through all this seaweed. I’m, going up for air That no one really wants to breath. Thinking to ourselves Maybe we should have saved some trees. While destroying ecosystems That’s not how it’s meant to be. I guess a lot of things happened That were never meant to be. Lying in our faces and they say it’s good politics, Good for the people But I think it’s just the opposite. They’re saying look ahead, We don’t have the same binoculars. I always wear a smile So they’re calling me an optimist. Calling me a child ‘Cause my mind is always wondering. Wondering for miles Until it’s running out of oxygen. Right I’m ready for a fight But not the octagon, Taking baby steps Until my brain has reached it’s optimum. Until my body’s reached it’s peak Because as of right now Both are still to weak. Growing by the day But I’m still just me. I’ve got to work hard To get my degree. I’ve got to make the most Of all these opportunities ‘Cause despite all my falls People kept faith in me. There when I’m in trouble Like they’re helping me to breath. Okay I lost a few I’m sure that more will come to be. Until that day I’ll still be living comfortably. I’m fine alone It’s just cool to have some company. But it’s a shame ‘cause true friends don’t come abundantly. I could count the on my hands But that’s fine by me, Open these eyes ‘Cause it’s time I see They’re never really closed It’s just like my dreams. I drift off So time might freeze When life is getting cold I’ve learnt to like that breeze. When I’m feeling down I Shouldn’t light that tree, Though it clears my thoughts So I might light three. You wont quite find another type like me No I write these bars So I can find my peace. I give a peace of mind so I can find my peace, Yo I write these bars So I can find my peace, Peace, Peace, I give a peace of mind So I can find my peace.

(Chorus) There I was, sitting in my room just stressing. All I really wanted was your blessing. Put your hands, In the sky. Not me cause you know I’m high and slow. High and slow. And slow, High and slow. (Verse 1) I can’t hate ‘cause I still feel love, Fell to deep, now I can’t get up. I guess I lost your trust Lost your smile Now I’ve lost your touch. I forgot it would cost this much - To fall in love, to fall in lust, You were there when the things got tough, Now I have to seal all these feelings up. You learnt to know me off by heart - The only one that ever even tried so hard. I don’t know if you like my bars, But I still wrote songs to define our past. I tried to realign our stars But I guess our fates made us drift apart. You know I gave a big piece of my heart But I don’t want it back Please keep that half. We’ve spent time that I can’t forget, I hope you know I would have stayed until the end. Instead I have to stay your friend - Pretend I don’t still feel the same. I just wanna’ talk, I don’t wanna’ hate you ‘Cause thoughts of you still flood my brain. I should probably let you go, Throw away the piece of my hear you broke, Since you’ve left I’ve done nothing but smoke, Music in my ears every time I’m not home! Sine you’ve left I’ve done nothing but smoke, Music in my ears every time I’m not home…. (Chorus) There I was, sitting in my room just stressing. All I really wanted was your blessing. Put your hands, In the sky. Not me cause you know I’m high and slow. High and slow. And slow, High and slow. (Verse 2) I really hope that these feelings do fade, ‘Cause I can’t keep up as our memories play - Over in my mind like a memory chain : I’m suffering from memory pains. You still cross my thoughts every minute of the day, Everywhere I go I’m seeing your name. I dreamed you were still in my arms, Still in love, Still under my charm. Then I woke up to the same old alarm, Reality hit me in the face pretty hard… Now I can’t erase our past, You had a huge space in my heart But that spaced turned cold and that space turned dark. That space grew old and it broke in half But it wasn’t knew pain It just woke old scars, Tearing at those scabs that had grown so hard. Now I can’t really feel if I’ve grown so far When I fall in love I just fall too far, You still hold my heart like a calling card, And I still feel love though two months have past… Still never loved so much so fast. You are the one. Smile lights up my days like the sun. Sun rose up now it’s set has begun, I, can’t hide from love all I can do is run. (Chorus) There I was, sitting in my room just stressing. All I really wanted was your blessing. Put your hands, In the sky. Not me cause you know I’m high and slow. High and slow. And slow, High and slow.

The Tale of the Mic (Verse 1) Time’s change, The same way that people do. Some realise in time But others let the evil through. I’ve noticed That I don’t really need a zoot, I light one in my sorrow Like a plaster But I’m bleeding through. I’ve heard my parents say: “Nate, we still believe in you” I’m not afraid to fail, I’m just confused By what I need to do. I can rap, I like it better when I speak the truth I hope you’re still listening, I really need to speak to you. Rap is where it started. And rap is where the end will be ‘Cause ever since I started, It seems I’ve been rapping endlessly. Hoping that today is not the end of me, We’re all afraid to die That’s why I am living thankfully.
I know I’m very privileged, I thought that was worth mentioning, Now there’s no excuse for me to fail. It’s not like I have to write these rhyme out in brail, And I know that Time’s on my side I can tell. (Chorus) This mic knows me Better than most friends do, Rapping so much Man, I can even pretend to. This is the tale of the mic. The story of how he went and stepped into the light . Music is his life And the future’s looking bright, I said the future’s looking bright. (x 2) (Verse 2) Time is a line But it’s not quite straight, Sometimes not quite great, But I’ve got my pen to ring out my pain. Express my ideas And reject these chains. I ain’t spent four years For material games See, I’m rapping for the people That have lost their love. Their passion for the music isn’t there I guess it gets lost to drugs. Lost to the money and corruption, Rap is like a plunger That is losing all it’s suction. When I say it’s sick I mean it’s coming down with something. Don’t address the mic Unless you really know your subject. That’s what’s so frustrating ‘Cause a lot of rappers Now a days Are getting to complacent. I just sit here contemplating, All the ups and downs That this life has got me facing I know when I hit the bottom, There in no negotiating. I’ll just have to get my act together But the wind is blowing hard This isn’t really practice weather. (Chorus) This mic knows me Better than most friends do, Rapping so much Man, I can even pretend to. This is the tale of the mic. The story of how I went and stepped into the mic. Music is my life And the future’s looking bright, I said the future’s looking bright. (x 2) (Verse 3) I guess I’ve found my path, I’m not just writing in a book. I’m spilling out my heart Like many other rappers should. I just think about my past I mean I know I git it good. But sometimes it gets hard That’s when I’m rapping through the hooks. Rapping until my lungs collapse, I might be getting good. The mic is al I have Is that a sad way to be? Because I like the way I am You might no understand. My mind is not the place where I can Make the perfect plan, No I never do it right And then I’m left to pay for that, I’m left with just the scraps, But still I will survive So in turn I can relax. Today might be a battle So I grab onto my axe, I try to shatter all my problems But they grow stronger from that. I took the longer road back. I’ve learnt along the way But I’ve grown stronger thanks to that. I took the longer road back But I’ve learnt along the way And I’ve grown stronger thanks to that. (Outro) This mic knows me Better than most friends do, Rapping so much Man, I can even pretend to, This is the tale of the mic.

1 Second Please. I’m learning with every step, New lessons everyday Just hope I haven’t over slept. I’ve failed so many chances But boy I ain’t finished yet It’s like I’m, Hosting the dinner and then acting like the guest. My mind is overactive ‘Though it’s vacant in my chest. Do I ache more than the rest? More cause I could never find a place in all this mess. But I, But I know I’m very privileged. Can’t complain about the crazy world we’re living in, Not prepared to change, The only change they want is dividends. More money in your pocket Will not make the difference, Nobody is innocent, The devil is in all of us And makes us feel like giving in. That voice inside my head Is really past being belligerent. I’m through with thinking, Overthinking’s overrated. I’m in a sober state So things are getting complicated. I’m lost man, I guess I’m looking for the way in. I doubt that god exists And that’s thereupon I stopped praying. I never hit the target, The target’s always moving. I’m working on my placement, My target’s to be a human. I’m not asking for much, Maybe the way I think is stupid. I’m not asking for a favour I just want to feel a lift. The weight I carry in my heart Is just an awe way to live. But if I’m being optimistic All that pain has been a gift. I’ve learnt so many lessons That my School could never give ‘Cause, In most schools you’re just a name pin a list. Am I living though a dream? Life is not a movie No it’s realer than it seems. It’s you that gets to chose if you’re a hero or a fiend. I’m growing deep roots So I can grow into a tree It’s not really hard to start No I just had to plant the seed. Don’t assume that I’m reserved Because I think before I speak But I, Read hate it When I think before I sleep: Thoughts jumped in my mind And they spread like a disease. I’ll be doing alright Just as long as I believe. (Chorus) Life is gonna get you down, get you down. Life is gonna get you down, get you down. Life is gonna get you down. How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find? How do you find? How do you? (Bridge) Can you give me one second please? Okay here we go. (Verse 2) I believe that nothing is Impossible, Don’t waste time waiting Until the situation’s optimal, Rapping so much I’ve started working my abdominals. I think I’ll find my happiness, Only I’ve lost it all, With nothing less to lose I’ll finally shatter all my obstacles. I’m always holding back. I’m never holding grudges Cause I got no space for that. My heart is full of stars And all the scars that are attached. I’m not amazing, These thoughts spark up like a match. I put fire in these bars And now they’re part of who I am. I know I can be a rapper But it’s harder than I planned. I must admit It’s pretty hard to stay relevant, The world is so corrupted I am part of the rebellion. And I will fight ‘till I’m a skeleton, Dead turned to ash I’ll still be looking over everyone. My spirit roams free I broke the chains Although they said we can’t. We’re al humans, All the same Although they say we aren’t. The media’s a way to spread stigma. What they say enters our thoughts, And it creates all this enigma. What they say on the news Does not include the bigger picture. The industry’s controlled How are they fooling all the listeners? Music has stopped evolving. (Chorus) Life is gonna get you down, get you down. Life is gonna get you down, get you down. Life is gonna get you down. How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find your way up? Find your way up? How do you find? How do you find? How do you? (Bridge) Can you give me one second please? Okay here we go.

The Gist There are no signs of me giving in, They say take care Cause this life is so intricate. If you believe Then your options are limitless. I just love it when lyrics start kicking in. And I love it when people start listening. Like this kid’s on some different shit. Raos paus ehe loves it Not rapping for dividends. Speaking for everyone, Not just England. Bringing you light like a filament. They were not ready For flows that I’m bringing in, Flows I’m discovering Got the big picture Now It’s time to colour it. I’m just glad ‘Cause I know who my mother is, I know my dad And they’ve shown me what loving is Bopping my head to this beat ‘Cause I’m loving it Each verse appears Through my power of summoning. I write for the days where they cheer when I’m walking out. Do you get what I’m talking about? Making them cheer until they hear me say order now. Refrain from the talking now. Words are money And people keep balling out. I keep my words in off shore accounts. I’ve grown So I hope that I’m cooler now, Not to society To the important crowds. I hope I get fans Hope they follow me all around. I’m making music for listeners, Bopping your head on the train I can picture it. But I will not got too deep into it Filling a page Goes way deeper than filling it, I hear you mumble it sounds so ridiculous Words slurring out of your mouth ‘Cause there’s pills in it. Made it there fast And you think that you’re killing it I’m on my way Taking time on my pilgrimage. Trekking it out in the wilderness. (Break) (Verse 2) Love is such a far fetched word If I invest more time Then I might get hurt. But if I, Feel pain then I might just learn, I, give breath to a lifeless verse. We, tend to grow When this life gets worse And sometimes learn What we might be worth. I, rap hoping that I might be heard. Hope is what keeps me kicking, I pour hope into my dreams And that leaves me dripping. Blood, sweat and tears But I still keep spitting. Rising to occasions I feel real different But, This overthinking might kill me. I was so selfish To think she could heal me. It’s got to the point Where I think just to feel free. I try and talk but I still barely spill beans, Love is real But I don’t know what real means.

Normal Thursday Evening I’m always trying to find out what the problem is, Love once had control But now I think I’m back on top of it I think I’m back on top of things. Thinking back’s so bothering I’m stuck in this Metropolis, Buildings all around me so the sky’s the only exit on my option list. Always got options never option-less, Feeling like an optimist Pessimistic thoughts always seem to draw the thunder in. I raise the bar but I spent way too much time under it Like I took a shot but it was under hit. I’m not sad, I just don’t know how it’s come to this, Lately my thoughts have, not been very comforting. I’ve been relying on the strength that I am conjuring, They say he, Lives this life like it’s not up to him - The waves look pretty, Right up until they suck you in. Now, now I’m, now I’m stuck in this mind state, These times are so confusing so I’m lighting up this fine haze I know that getting high is always the right way, But it’s not the right way if I don’t do it my way. The sun’s behind me But I sit and watch the sky fade, The sky turns to black But the stars begin to migrate - The light is sometimes blinding, So the darkness helps the migraine. It’s like there’s always something missing I live a life so privileged So what’s with all the wishing I know, others are less fortunate But what’s with all the killing? Taking someones life does not express the way you’re feeling. Our minds our limitless we just create the ceiling, When we’re feeling down why is the darkness so appealing And, when I’m feeling lost How do these words have so much meaning? I feel lost but then remember that I’m breathing, Got a wild imagine, it’s so potent that it’s heating. I’m writing bars it’s just a normal Thursday evening, Chilling with my friends, Two of the most human beings, yo. (Chorus) It’s just another Thursday evening. That’s until my soul starts bleeding. I see the inspiration all around us, I guess we’re puppets to the actions that surround us, It’s ironic that we’re happy once we’ve found love Up until the moment these emotions start to drown us. Diving head first, never thinking ‘bout the outcome - Fuck a label I can make it there without one. This mixtape is a tale, the story of my mind, The story I’ve been holding back behind these open blinds. Please listen carefully and read between the lines, The lines are paper thin but you won’t know if you don’t try I’ve been trying all my life… That’s twenty years, so I’ve got lot’s more days and nights. I start writing and forget to check the time, Minutes turn to hours in the blink of an eye I just sink to the sky, If that’s the limit I’ll be breaking laws tonight. The first step to your dreams is to stop waiting all the time You can try and bling me I’ll just shoot lasers through my eyes, If there’s an ocean between us I’ll walk through the rising tide. I’m not a prophet I just share a piece of mind, This is nothing special Just a normal Thursday night. I wrote all through the evening Soon I’ll have to close my eyes - I don’t remember all my dreams, The ones I do remember, I’m never really asleep… I zone out until somebody nudges me It’s just such a sudden leap, One minute my mind’s here The next it’s up in a tree. I like these views I think they’re really quite unique I take a second just to listen to remember why I speak… Why am I thinking so deep, On a normal Thursday evening… I just remembered I haven’t eaten…. (Chorus)

Nate (Verse 1) I can see I’m so far from my pinnacle, Writing all this music Hoping I can become Biblical. Rap just sounds so typical, It used to sound so lyrical, But now I hear these words that don’t make sense Or make me think at all. Mumble rappers on their dingy boats I’ve come to sink them all. You’re living life so fictional You watch so many movies that your life becomes the interval. Too many people living their life to the minimal I live mine to the maximum, Sure Ive made some shitty calls. Mistakes are like a f****** daily ritual But I guess they help me grow I’m still developing I enter like a veteran But leave the game on sedatives. My life is right before my eyes, I’m blind to all it’s messages I’m pale and now I’m restless, They ask me if I stress But then I realise that I’m stressless If I haven’t done it yet Well then it’s probably on my checklist. (Chorus) My name’s Nate, I’ll try and make this brief I live my life taking careful notes of all I see. I write my deepest thoughts because I never really speak. And of course, I never really sleep. (Verse 2) I’m not the one to mess with Bars pouring out the crevice In my brain like I’m infested. I’m really quite ill Don’t get too close you’ll get infected, Mumble rappers step up to the mic you’ll get rejected. I can tell your pad and pen have really been neglected Mine are always so close to my heart Just like my necklace. I’m really trying hard, Working after dark, Everyone’s asleep So I proceed to write these bars. These bars are quite unique It’s like I’m speaking through my arms And I’ve been speaking to the starts to keep my calm. When I fail to succeed I’m looking straight into my palms, When it comes to whose to blame Let’s say I’m never looking far. I’ve been looking in the mirror And reflecting on these scars, I’ve been thinking maybe this reflection isn’t ours, It’s not reflecting who we are, But it’s affecting who I am. I expect to do it right But I’m forgetting who I am. Perched up in the middle I’m forgetting where I stand. (Chorus) My name’s Nate, I’ll try and make this brief I live my life taking careful notes of all I see. I write my deepest thoughts because I never really speak. And of course, I never really sleep. (Verse 3) Am I living really how I’m supposed to be, Hanging on to love Like it’s a drug it’s my own dopamine. Hanging on so hopelessly I’m searching for an opening, It’s dark along this path But I just hope someone will notice me. Lately I’ve ben overthinking minor topics I’ve been disconnected Now I’m back with fibre optics I step up to the mic They look amazed like I put fire on it. Breathing fire in my lungs To gain that higher knowledge. And when I’m in my zone I hit you with all kind of phonics. I try and change But stay the same, Now I’m so tired of it. Tired of mistakes and mild depression That’s what keeps me second guessing. Like a cat I’m always landing on my feet I’m independant. If you’re hating on the way I live my life Well I don’t give a shit I’m more focused on living it They say Nate change your life Before you change the world we’re living in But, Is that just what you’re meant to say? (Chorus) My name’s Nate, I’ll try and make this brief I live my life taking careful notes of all I see. I write my deepest thoughts because I never really speak. And of course, I never really sleep.
