With the Tide
[Intro: Memento]
Look, I'm back, familiar place
Lying in my bed, regretting my choice
Back at the start, I thought I'd be cool
I had my own reason, stuck around like a fool
I couldn't fit the mold from the day this began
For the first time in life, I want to fit in
You know I hated school so I didn't back then, but
Let me explain
[Verse 1: Memento]
I been focused on people and not at all on my dreams
I'm only a human, I got my flaws and my needs
It's eating at my mind what they thinking of me
It's eating up my time when I'm hitting the beats
Why the fuck do I crave for these people's respect?
It's slowing me down, throwing my brain in a mess
I been alone in a crowd, I think it's fucked with my head
Been so long without friends, now I just take what I get
And these people that I work with, they don't give a fuck
I want to live my purpose, they want a quick buck
They scared of conversation, bitch, you think I can't tell?
I learned a harsh lesson, every man for himself
[Chorus 1: Nicole Williams]
I feel my head falling under the water
Will I sink or will I swim with the tide
Time passes by but I only grow farther
And I hope I find my place in this life
[Verse 2: Memento]
And when you see me on stage
I seem like I'm the man 'til you see the real me
You think you fucking know me 'cause you come to my show?
Would I feel the same respect if you could come to my home?
If you could see the man I am when I take off my mask
I'm good at first impressions but that shit doesn't last
I start to open up, why you start to back off?
My fucking self esteem kind of starting to drop
[Chorus 2: Nicole Williams]
I feel my head falling under the water
Will I sink or will I swim with the tide
Time passes by & I only grow farther
But I know I'll find my place in this life
[Outro: Nicole Williams]
I'll find my place in this life
I'll find my place in this life
I'll find my place in this life
Look, I'm back, familiar place
Lying in my bed, regretting my choice
Back at the start, I thought I'd be cool
I had my own reason, stuck around like a fool
I couldn't fit the mold from the day this began
For the first time in life, I want to fit in
You know I hated school so I didn't back then, but
Let me explain
[Verse 1: Memento]
I been focused on people and not at all on my dreams
I'm only a human, I got my flaws and my needs
It's eating at my mind what they thinking of me
It's eating up my time when I'm hitting the beats

It's slowing me down, throwing my brain in a mess
I been alone in a crowd, I think it's fucked with my head
Been so long without friends, now I just take what I get

I'll find my place in this life
I'll find my place in this life
