Curfew
Navigating Life's Maze: Patrick Paige II's Reflective Journey in 'Curfew'
Lyrics
A lot on my plate,
A sense of being overwhelmed with responsibilities and challenges.
I tried to count my blessings instead I just count mistakes
Reflecting on errors and struggles rather than focusing on positive aspects.
Weight on my shoulders feeling like I squat 100 plates
Feeling burdened, as if carrying the weight of numerous challenges.
Step on the gas, I get impatient but it ain't no breaks, but ain't no sweat on face
Expressing impatience, a desire for acceleration, and facing challenges without breaks.
Think of my future often, like what I have to show for life before I'm in the coffin
Contemplating life achievements before facing mortality.
Hitting my trees, put me at ease aside from the violent coughing
Using trees (possibly a metaphor for cannabis) to find solace amidst difficulties.
Sit in my car and I twist up release the thoughts that's toxic, driver's seat is my office
Finding clarity and catharsis in the car, treating it as a personal space.
Hand me a mirror I'll show you my greatest threat,
Being self-aware of personal flaws and potential dangers.
Hand me a bottle I'll spill you my greatest regrets, yeah
Willing to share personal regrets when prompted with a bottle.
Hand me a mic I'll spit you a page from my journal,
Expressing personal thoughts and experiences through music.
I pray that message is clear and it goes on eternal
Desiring a clear and eternal message in the conveyed music.
Strict on myself I gotta keep a curfew
Setting personal boundaries and restrictions for self-discipline.
Try to remember patience is a virtue
Emphasizing the importance of patience as a valuable quality.
Fuck with myself so you don't even have to, and nigga I ain't ask you
Prioritizing self-acceptance and self-respect over others' opinions.
People come and people go it's nothing personal
Recognizing the transient nature of relationships, taking it impersonally.
You can't always run the show just play your role and go
Accepting one's role in life without always trying to control everything.
I keep a steady aim right on the dot and let it go, and thats fasho fasho
Maintaining focus and precision, letting go when necessary.
I used run and hide, I took at look at life and smiled try to look alive
Choosing to face life positively, even in challenging situations.
If my head is down it's cause I'm counting not because I'm crying
Clarifying that a lowered head doesn't necessarily signify sadness.
Living to die this life is short but shit at least I'm trying
Acknowledging life's brevity while actively engaging with it.
Failure is terrifying
Expressing fear of failure and its impact.
Hand me a mirror I'll show you my greatest threat,
Reiterating the awareness of personal threats and potential dangers.
Hand me a bottle I'll spill you my greatest regrets, yeah
Willingness to share deepest regrets, especially under the influence.
Hand me a mic I'll spit you a page from my journal,
Using music as a medium to share personal stories and experiences.
I pray that message is clear and it goes on eternal
Desiring a lasting and clear impact with the conveyed message in music.
Strict on myself I gotta keep a curfew
Reiterating the need for self-discipline and setting boundaries.
Try to remember patience is a virtue
Stressing the importance of patience as a virtuous quality.
Fuck with myself so you don't even have to, and nigga I ain't ask you
Prioritizing self-approval over seeking validation from others.
Strict on myself I gotta keep a curfew
Repeating the importance of self-discipline and setting personal limits.
Try to remember patience is a virtue
Reiterating the value of patience in navigating life's challenges.
Fuck with myself so you don't even have to, and nigga I ain't ask you
Emphasizing self-reliance and a lack of dependency on others' opinions.
