Embracing Change: Black Lemon's Journey of Transformation
Lyrics
I let my old life tie me to the tracks
I allowed my past life to hinder my progress or well-being.
I heard my best friend tell me
I overheard my close friend advising me that going back is not an option.
You can never go back
Learning to avoid obstacles and challenges took a significant amount of time.
I spent my long years
I invested many years in this endeavor.
Learning to get out of the way
I have been taught to yield and avoid confrontation.
I have been taught to turn the other cheek
Despite being betrayed by someone close to me.
I get my back stabbed buddy
Throughout the week, I endure betrayal and backstabbing.
To the end of the week
My goal is simply to make it through the challenges of each day.
I only try to make it to the end of the day
I've seen it break so many before
I've witnessed others being broken by similar experiences.
I don't want stick around
I don't want to remain and witness these struggles any longer.
Here and watch anymore
I refuse to engage in a fight until my last breath.
I'm not about to fight until the last of me dies
Choosing not to fight, I will rest my eyes instead.
I'll be resting my eyes
I'll be resting my eyes
-Try to follow a path to lead me to the light
Attempting to follow a positive path towards enlightenment.
But when your load gets heavy
When the burden becomes too much, consider taking a break.
Maybe call it a night
Pause and restart from the beginning when things become difficult.
Roll it around and take it from the bottom again
Expressing a willingness to take risks and face challenges.
I'm not afraid to lean over the ledge
Fearless about leaning over the edge of adversity.
But if you take too many you go over the edge
A cautionary note about the consequences of excessive risk-taking.
Make it a point to tell me when you get to the end
Requesting to be informed when reaching the end of a situation.
I've seen it break so many before
Observing the negative impact on others when facing challenges.
I don't wanna stick around
Choosing not to witness or be part of ongoing struggles.
Here and watch anymore
Declining to engage in a fight until the very end.
I'm not about to fight until the last of me dies
Opting for rest instead of battle as a way of coping.
I'll be resting my eyes
I'll be resting my eyes
-I'll be resting my eyes
Choosing to rest and find peace by closing one's eyes.
