lyrics

Well I can’t undo my past,
And I know that I can’t rewind
Yesterday’s history and tomorrow’s a mystery,
And all I’ve got is time.

Now when I reflect on the past, there’s some times that I’m missin’,
I tend to think of the bad, rather than reminiscing,
I try to focus on the positive, but most I’m forgettin’,
And it’s a cycle that repeats, I’m never learnin’ my lesson,

I swear I think I got depression, give me a prescription,
Always second-guessing, never stoppin’ to listen,
I need to clear my head and get a better vision,
Need to slow down… and think about it ‘cuz

Well I know, I’m blessed, I’ve got a family and friends who love me
But I’ve got my regrets, I like to drown ‘em out with weed and bubbly
And I think I need to find a better way to cope,
But for the meanwhile I’m just sittin’ here tryin’ not to lose hope…

Hit me!

It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down, but in time I will recover,
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round, got to break this hold,
I have not seen myself in so long, in so long...

Now when I think about the future all I’m seein’ in my mind’s eye,
A wingspan, just a reminder that time flies,
I got love for the people in my past,
But for all the ones who doubted me, man ya’ll can kiss my ass

But for the first half, shit, I thank you for the honesty,
Thank you for the lovin' and I hope that you can promise me,
To never let yourself be changed or influenced,
By all the bullshit, stay inspired by the truest

And I’ll do my best to practice what I’m preachin’
Keep in line my actions, and the words which I am speaking,
Keep on top of shit, I mean at least until the weekend,
And keep the PMA before the self-doubt creeps in.

You gotta believe in yourself, I said ya, ya gotta believe in yourself,
‘Cuz if you don’t believe in yourself, then believe me neither will anyone else

Hit me!

It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down, but in time I will recover,
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round, got to break this hold,
I have not seen myself in so long, in so long... [x2]

Fuck it.

I drop the negative and reach inside my pocket,
Whip out the microphone i plug it in, and then i rock it,
Better believe i got the power like the inside of a socket,
And I'm, I'm too electrical for ya'll people to knock it

And whether or not you got the liquor in your system,
You ought be jumping around and dancing' when you start to listen,
Bitch I'm, I'm bringin' the style and my band's bringing' the rhythm,
Yes, we're coming to make you move around, yeah that's the fuckin' mission!

Get up on the scene, rock it like I’m James Dean,
Ladies, get out on the floor, and shake like you're Ms. Monroe.

(Guitar solo)

It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down, but in time I will recover,
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round, got to break this hold,
I have not seen myself in so long, in so long... [x2]
