Lyrics
First, taught myself I should put myself, first
Recognizing the importance of prioritizing oneself before others.
Kept getting it wrong thought I was, cursed
Continuously making mistakes, feeling as if under a negative spell or fate.
Sleeping on myself in the dark got me falling into reverse, that’s how we learn
Being unaware of one's potential and capabilities, leading to self-doubt and regression.
They thought that I was New York
Others perceived a different identity or character than the true self.
Turns out that I’m LA
Realizing one's true nature or identity contrary to what others believed.
I wasn’t me for too long
Feeling disconnected from one's authentic self for an extended period.
Now I’m living in a sunny state
Currently residing in a more positive or favorable environment.
Yeah these days
Present times or the current phase of life.
They’re searching for me hey
Others are seeking or looking for the individual.
How bout you catch me off guard
Challenging someone to catch them by surprise or unprepared.
Come and start a race with me
Inviting someone to engage in a competition or pursuit.
Now I’m half way from where I was
Having progressed halfway from a previous state or situation.
In this world you need a little luck
Success often requires some degree of luck or favorable circumstances.
Catch me if you can I’m on the run
Invoking the challenge to catch or keep up with their pace.
I bet you never keep up with me
Confident that others won't be able to match their speed or actions.
Read em and weep

Catch me if you can

Catch me if you can

-They won’t do it again

They won’t do it again
-Please, you got magic hiding up your sleeve
Belief in the existence of untapped potential or hidden talents.
But you’re never silver lining on your dreams
Failure to find positivity or optimism in pursuing dreams.
And I never wanted the same thing for me
Not desiring the same outcomes or goals as others.
What a bad place to be
Feeling trapped or stuck in an undesirable situation.
