New Beginnings

I'm looking through the pics. Look how the time rushed,
Like what the hell is this, what a child that I was,
It's been a long journey, a hard one at that,
and yet I'm still learning, I'm growin up, In fact,
I've screwed up a lot, and this is me admitting,
Im glad for what I got,
But I need a new beginning, like,

Hook:
Something that's just out of the scope,
How I am when I'm in my mode,
Things I do make you loose control,
That's what I'm on,
I'm doing my thing,
This is what a new life brings,
And this is how it is, when I'm taking care of my biz,
Yeahyeah

If I could bring the clock about 4, 5 years back,
You would see, a middle school dood, with his kicks flat,
what he lacked cool he made up for in gym class,
Nahh that's ahead of time, actually forget that, rather short, mini, bald skinny, braces on front teeth shoulder hanging lower to the left,
But he was too witty,
rocked small glasses so his blurred vision would look clear in the small city,
He was a sweet treat in a world fulof dum Duma and despite his courtesy, rejected by the Pom Pom blondes.
Yeah, the classical scenario where every girl, played him so,
Had him running round like a merry go,
Though, it wasn't them he was impressing,
Maybe his life is a lesson in how to handle rejection,
thoughts of being different never kept from his brain,
A young wild heart readily seeking a change,
And then,

Hook:
Something that's just out of the scope,
How I am when I'm in my mode,
Things I do make you loose control,
That's what I'm on,
I'm doing my thing,
This is what a new life brings,
And this is how it is, when I'm taking care of my biz,
Yeahyeah

If I could bring the clock about 1, 2 years back, you would high school bum with a bike rack,
And a knapsack, with a little giggle here and there,
Making up for his lack of swag with charismatic flair,
And his talents was a thing he couldn't share where, in the school of hard knocks,
He was like a care bear there,
Sat alone most of the time,
He knew well what he wanted but yet his focus was blind,
To the, fact, that he couldn't just blend in, bending,
individuality, plus he's spending, school hours, crammed in, the studio with ryan and sketch instead of chillen with best friends,
He dedicated most of his time to crafting his practice and getting better at rapping, blasting,
New songs like he had something to prove yup,
gladly sacrificing the present for the future,

Hook:
Something that's just out of the scope,
How I am when I'm in my mode,
Things I do make you loose control,
That's what I'm on,
I'm doing my thing,
This is what a new life brings,
And this is how it is, when I'm taking care of my biz,
Yeahyeah


I know I'm not the only one, to have a ton of baggage carried as the years go on,
I made this song for anybody that can break tradition,
An make a living testimony of a new beginning,
But even so,
I hope that I showed, as I walked life's road,
How can i zee where i go, With my own eyes closed,
Yo, oh,
This is for my Fam pay attention,
They say I dont have time and I changed but hey listen,
This is what happens when you a man on a mission,
Reminiscing, about the life you leading and forgetting what is missing,
Take my example, what's more,
I'm chasing my dreams, now you gotta catch yours.
Cuz life is a movie that you can't fast forward, pass your,
Expectations and you'll life full,
Either way,
I'm looking forward to rising another day as
A new beginning.
