Yo
[Verse 1]
Noveliss Ichiban
Everything sublime
As long as my kids are fine
And the love of my life is loving life
While I'm tryna' change everything overnight
With a Mic
I speak it into existence
Until it begins to
Materialize
And wipe the tears from your eyes
And blow a kiss to the sky
That's for my grandmother
The one that helped raise me and my brother
While my single Mother was doing the job of both parents
And running errands
Making sure to slay everything on clearance
So we always looked fresh in the mirror
Everytime we made an appearance
And then my step father crossed the step out
And was my father
When my father stepped out on my mother
I wasn't a toddler yet
But that's a story for a different day
The gift of gab
Be lifting note pads in the air
The telepath
Ain't no telling where I'm at
Or where I'm headed
I'm driving wreckless
With doubts crashing my mind every second
[Hook]
Do you, ever feel like you ain't doing enough?
Do you, ever wonder where that doubt comes from?
Do you, ever wanna pack your bags and run?
Do you, ever wonder how you lasted this long?
[Verse 2]
Looking back
I was probably a lame in high school
All I did was play sports
And watch wrestling
A quiet kid
And still require silence
I feel like I don't get enough rest
I test my mileage
Different cultures will leave you enlightened
I thought I had it bad
Until I saw guys in suites and ties
Sleeping in the subway stations out in Japan
Because they missed the last train of the night
They stop at midnight
And the next one ain't coming til' five
Working too hard
Probably lost track of time at the job
If I work overtime
I feel like I ain't even alive
I'm stuck in the thin line
Of those who failed
And those who still figuring out life
Before it's too late
And before you get comfortable
People don't like change
I wish I got stronger
From the blows I been dealt
Over the last year
Like a Saiyan
Then my body would find new forms
To conquer what I'm facing
In the face of adversity
That face would need surgery
My mind in a state of emergency
[Hook] x 2
Do you, ever feel like you ain't doing enough?
Do you, ever wonder where that doubt comes from?
Do you, ever wanna pack your bags and run? Do
You, ever wonder how you lasted this long?
