Soul Searching

Soul searchin’ I’m just tryna find just who I am Wanna look up in that mirror wanna see that man I’ve worked hard to become, but lately it ain’t been working All this self doubt, now I’m here and I’m searching Striving for perfection, but it’s out of reach We been spitting since the days of playing in the streets Tryna change my reality with the words I speak Tryna show you who I am with these rhythms and beats Grew up with VHS & Cassette tapes Those MC’s with the flow that’d make your neck break I knew then I wanted to be great some day And one day, that I would be the greatest some way They say make more happy shit, but this here my honest music If I wanna do it, know I always gotta stay the truest Dropped that accent, screw being somebody else Fuck ‘em if they ain’t feeling it, I’m just here being myself What’s the point of acting different to fit in with all the others Why pretend to be them when I can show my true colours And create a masterpiece with the beats, the technique Don’t sweat it, don’t you forget it, change the game with every session Progression is evident, these days man I’m getting it The respect I deserve, wanna preserve and stay relevant I put in all this work so I’m hoping it benefits Doing me, my identity don’t wanna edit it See I look up in the sky & I wonder what’s my calling Then I go & write my rhymes and realise I’m made for it I see people everyday giving up on their ambitions But my passion so strong, I gotta stick with it Let the beat ride I said I gotta stick with it, stick with it It’s my destiny, listen People askin’ bout my plans for the future What Uni you tryna enter, what course you wanna get to When you gonna graduate, what jobs are you applying I’m just listing my frustrations man this shit ain’t even rhyming but damn The world puts all this weight up on my shoulders All I hear is HSC & ATAR they tryna hold us And control us, put us in a box like we some damn sneakers But I’m tryna change my life with these sounds up in your speakers Yeah, they say I’ll never live the life that I’m trying to live But don’t let small minds tell you that your dreams are too big I said that line a year ago, I’ll never change it though And that’s what got me attention all up on the radio Yeah, I knew when that happened anything was possible Tryna show you it’s possible to make your own Chronicles Coz everybody want to make me fit in And just be like the rest, but to me it’s like a sin To give up on your dreams and to try assimilate Doing everything I can to make it and to do it great Despite all of this weight that I told you’s on my shoulders With these dreams I got here, it’s far from mediocre Look, lemme tell you one thing Soul searchin’ I’m just tryna find just who I am Wanna look up in that mirror wanna see that man I’ve worked hard to become, best believe I’ll make it work man You’ve just witnessed my soul searching The chronicles, anything is possible Anything is possible
