Lyrics
If you have a pad thenyou must have a pen
If you possess a writing surface, you need a writing tool.
If you have a start then you must have a end
Every beginning has an inevitable conclusion.
So I write rhyme sing once again Pretty gyal just wanna dance to Me song yeah

It goes on and on yeah
Life continues endlessly.
Stuck in this illusion yea
The artist feels trapped in a misleading or false reality.
Me, I'm getting Confusion
The artist feels personally conflicted or perplexed.
Used to worry bout the future And care about the past

Right now is the only time that Lasts yeah

I ain’t rushing
