Lyrics
It's early
Early in the morning
And I'm coming out of a weird dream
Awakening from a strange dream
It's early
Still early in the day
And I keep forgetting how I do things
Struggling to remember routine actions
It's early
Early hours, considering going back to bed
And I'm contemplating getting back in bed
Contemplating returning to sleep
It's early
Early time, dealing with inner thoughts
There's too many voices swirling in my head
Feeling overwhelmed by internal voices
But I'm moving and I'm moving and I keep on
Continuing to move forward despite challenges
Take a glance at my reflection, the magic gone
Reflecting on oneself, feeling a loss of magic
I can't see my good and I don't seem too fun
Unable to perceive one's goodness, lacking fun
Just another bleary day under the blaring sun
Another dull day under the glaring sun
So I walk outside and I fix my hat
Stepping outside, adjusting appearance
And I hate my mind so it hates right back
Struggling with self-hate and negative thoughts
I hope I find light through the cracks
Hoping to find positivity amid challenges
Dark in the light, snoozing through the
Navigating through darkness and light
Yesterday was a hard day, shit laid where it lay
Recalling a difficult day with problems left unresolved
Memories of old injustices came play-by-play
Memories of past injustices replaying vividly
That dream last night, that was one big hit
A significant dream impacting the subconscious
From a subconscious tryna break into the rest of my shit
Subconscious trying to break into conscious thoughts
Breaking into my mind, breaking lock and key
Struggling with intrusive thoughts and emotions
I keep the focus outside and try not to see
Focusing outward to avoid internal struggles
Yesterday I had a nervous breakdown
Experiencing a nervous breakdown from stress
Like man, are they really that much better than me?
Comparing oneself to others and feeling inadequate
Well, I don't know but I guess I'll find out
Uncertain about one's capabilities
I'm really going far don't try to mess with my time now
Determined to achieve personal success
Come meet me at the bar, see I've raised it so climb now
Inviting others to join in the pursuit of goals
Think I was gonna roll over just to let you tie me down?
Refusing to be restrained or controlled
Think again, better yet mull it over
Challenging others to reconsider their assumptions
While you rest all of your laurels
Reflecting on achievements and taking a break
Just put a shot in a soda
Mixing a shot in a drink as a form of relaxation
Just put a pound in a pipe
Engaging in substance use or vice
Put a rock in a holster
Securing something valuable, possibly a metaphor
Put your faith in my life
Asking others to trust in one's life decisions
Put your doubt on a coaster
Encouraging others to keep doubts at bay
So you don't get it all over my mahogany
Protecting personal space and possessions
Man my mind so rich but doesn't waste it all on the therapy
Wealthy in thoughts but not spending on therapy
Dress it in a sweater fit on top of designer jeans
Paying attention to appearance with a mix of luxury
Forget all my problems let them hang over Damocles
Ignoring problems temporarily, letting them loom
Watch me walk away and see the blade as it follows me
Leaving behind troubles, aware of potential consequences
Come take a walk with me all over my property
Inviting others to explore personal space
Come learn what it's like to be a walking anomaly
Being unique and different, defying norms
Maybe we drop it all and decide just to let it be a
Suggesting the possibility of letting go and embracing uncertainty
