| [00:02.632] |
Yeah, uh, yeah (Tunji) |
| [00:10.499] |
I, so swag, close my eyes (Yeah, let's sway) |
| [00:18.330] |
Uh, uh, when I close my eyes |
| [00:21.344] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [00:23.915] |
And everything's alright |
| [00:25.654] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [00:28.006] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [00:30.720] |
When I close my eyes |
| [00:31.990] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [00:34.203] |
And everything's alright |
| [00:35.814] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [00:38.519] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [00:41.358] |
Still I rise, still I rise |
| [00:43.827] |
They try to clip my wings, but still I fly |
| [00:46.302] |
They try to bring me down and kill my high |
| [00:48.868] |
They took away my crown, trying to steal my pride |
| [00:51.388] |
But it just me stronger |
| [00:52.661] |
And even though them days got longer |
| [00:54.667] |
I learned some vital lessons when I made those wrong turns |
| [00:57.170] |
I'm grateful for the painful things that forced me to grow |
| [00:59.785] |
Because now I know to head straight at that fork in the road |
| [01:02.347] |
And I'm a fortunate soul, because I learned from the best |
| [01:04.897] |
They told me just work on your music, and you'll earn your respect |
| [01:07.413] |
But the product I promoted, watch it turn to a cheque |
| [01:10.057] |
And every time you rock the mic you reach your personal best |
| [01:12.704] |
But sometimes, this life is too much for me |
| [01:15.436] |
I should be living in an effing life of luxury |
| [01:17.926] |
Because the limit is the sky, but I struggle to survive |
| [01:20.586] |
So when it gets too hard, I just close my eyes |
| [01:23.332] |
When I close my eyes |
| [01:24.344] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [01:26.419] |
And everything's alright |
| [01:27.899] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [01:30.849] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [01:33.147] |
When I close my eyes |
| [01:34.266] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [01:36.809] |
And everything's alright |
| [01:38.330] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [01:41.055] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [01:43.370] |
Yo, I rise with the sun in the early morning |
| [01:45.918] |
Facing this world we born in |
| [01:47.210] |
My mind's swirling, storming, working until the words be forming |
| [01:49.701] |
People tell me that the sky is the limit |
| [01:51.778] |
But I'm living for right now, because I could die any minute |
| [01:54.422] |
This life is turning the page, earning a wage |
| [01:56.870] |
Learning to stay firm in your ways, burning with rage |
| [01:59.515] |
Learning only for the lessons, not concerned with the grades |
| [02:02.137] |
And roaming lonely through this Californian urban decay |
| [02:04.811] |
They always told me play in your work, work your play |
| [02:07.537] |
Be a man, stay strong when it hurts to stand |
| [02:10.016] |
If you love something and it's really worth a damn |
| [02:12.631] |
Then you should always feel the passion like you first began |
| [02:15.165] |
So here I am, my eyes on what's next |
| [02:17.379] |
Imma fight until the death |
| [02:18.532] |
The pride of the West inside of my chest |
| [02:20.509] |
I manoeuvre through the cries and the sweat |
| [02:22.577] |
The lies and regrets |
| [02:23.583] |
And when it gets too hard, I close my eyes and reflect |
| [02:25.711] |
When I close my eyes |
| [02:26.863] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [02:28.870] |
And everything's alright |
| [02:30.468] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [02:33.151] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [02:35.620] |
When I close my eyes |
| [02:36.738] |
When I close, when I close my eyes |
| [02:39.434] |
And everything's alright |
| [02:40.883] |
And I drift away (drift away) |
| [02:43.568] |
Drift away, I drift away |
| [02:47.258] |
Sometimes I want to drift away |
| [02:49.005] |
No more living in the past, got to live today |
| [02:52.112] |
Sometimes I want to drift away |
| [02:54.399] |
But I got so much to do, so many things to say |
| [02:57.713] |
Sometimes I want to drift away |
| [02:59.773] |
No more living in the past, got to live today |
| [03:02.948] |
Sometimes I want to drift away |
| [03:04.929] |
But I got so much to do, so many things to say |
