Sealed Fate (instrumental)

Uh, I've only lived life grippin' tight on a thin rope Went from girl-to-girlfriend in order to cope But it, didn't fill the need Cause I'm still in need And I'm filled with greed to proceed, indeed But if I don't understand where I've been, uh (I've been) I'mma take the very same road to sin, uh (Same road to sin) Same girl, different fate is worth a grin, uh (It's worth a grin) A standstill 'til I learn how to win So I'm switching up the whole scene Castin' away all the old thoughts and old things And let it shine bright A city on the hill, beamin', and it feels right And let the river flow, gleamin' even when it's light And got my goons 24/7 ready to fight And gather all my fruits, only when it's ripe Cause serious, it's been takin' my whole life And I've been dicing it to pieces with my very own knife like Chorus (x2): I know it's about time to make and get real It's non-existent like a record deal I need a story just before I bail I'll get it now, before my fate gets sealed (I know why) I keep seeing my friends lose it "Life or death, the choice is yours, choose it" Is what I've been hearing ever since the 9th grade But the light was kinda hot, so I kicked it in the shade And I drunk some lemonade, while the other kids played And I slowly recognized all the progress they made Then I looked to myself and I realized I was pale At the end of the class, they passed and I failed (and I) Sometimes I feel I'm still there Underneath the same tree trap, thinking I'm free and Every morning I wake up to handcuffs But it's cool in the shade and I don't wanna wake up And I know if I stop out in the light I'll awake And see things differently, and have to shape All the dross and the alloy off Which will make me, shape me, into exactly what God made me to be! Chorus (x2) So I step out, let out a shout, and do time But my rhyme only reflects me and defines Where I'm at so I only incline and rewind To my past to notice my mistakes and recline And things stand up, now we get it right Cause my life is but a quick blink in a short night But I'm chillin' now (chillin' now) Not gonna wonder how (wonder how) My life is gonna change Cause I'll just let it re-arrange like this! Chorus (x2)
