The Rocket Summer
Look Alive
[Hook: The Rocket Summer]
Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
And i-ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday?
Are you working just to bleed?
I know [x5]
[Verse 1: Salience]
Live my life A to Z, fill up all the vein can see
I listen to the hate so I can see what they can make of me
Fill up every void I have. Bring me down, destroy my past
Throw it all my way so I can show you all the poise I have
Confidence, got it cause I'm known across the continent
Found the music in me and I'm happy cause I'm lost in it
It's obvious, I don’t gotta prove nothing to no one
I push myself so I can see how much further I can go on
I push until I break my limit, every second every minute
No pain no gain, keep on going, never quit cause I don’t feel it
Never sleep cause I don’t need it, work until I break to pieces
Live to do my best in life; they ask me how and whats my secret
I just don’t know. I strive to be the best
My God above knows I'll give my all and give nothing less
I do not live this life to fall and quit, let em keep on talking shit
Listen to these words I say and leave 'em in astonishment and
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Salience]
My word is what I'm known by, so I say it and it's said and done
I don’t talk about getting paper cause I know I'm getting none
Speak out with what is the truth. Yeah, you got nothing to lose
People act like their i-image really means something to you
Act like you're better than me, treat me like an enemy
Give me all you got cause in the end you'll be a memory
Surmount all of my obstacles, zone in through my optical
Focused on what I've been dreaming; know nothings impossible
Gotta look alive cause I've not rested since the day I got
The will, the urge, the need to get what I think I should gain or not
Work until I go succeed. Nothing that I can't achieve
I'll never give it up for something lesser than to live my dreams
Breathe in every single breath, work until the day I'm dead
Work until my energy’s depleted and there's nothing left
Take theses words for what they're worth, just go on to live and learn that
Everything you get in life is everything that you deserve
[Hook]
