Twenty seven thousand tons on my shoulder blades
Growing up I always thought that I would have it made
I always thought that I would be this crazy rap guy
That traveled around the world, twenty four hours I would stay high
And no matter what happens I go to keep pushing
Past barriers that will block me and the dreams I am pursuing
I remember sitting silent, I was staring at the blank paper
My mind was racing but I’d put it off until later
(Nobody said it was easy)
I know there’s light at the end of this tunnel
But I’m running so fast I’m afraid I might stumble
(No one ever said it would be this hard)
I never really knew what to expect
Cause I’ve tried so hard but haven’t reached my dreams yet
I’m getting tired of doing all the same shit
On the daily I slay dragons, go to Europe on a day trip
It’s amazing, I’m getting really old
Wanna turn over the pages as this chapter book unfolds
Another day passes and I’m still doing nothing
It’s the same thing everyday, I just need to find something
Just like the day before when I said I would do more
I stayed right on the couch with me feet stuck to the floor
(Nobody said it was easy)
I know there’s light at the end of this tunnel
But I’m running so fast I’m afraid I might stumble
(No one ever said it would be this hard)
I never really knew what to expect
Cause I’ve tried so hard but haven’t reached my dreams yet
People seem to wanna ask me lots of questions
Like: «are you learning any lessons while microphone wrecking?»
And honestly the answer is no
I’m just learning that this world is evil
And how to go with the flow
The past few weeks I’ve been loosing my voice
I’ve been loosing my thoughts, I’ve been loosing my joys
I’m at the point where I need a little luck
Cause now that I’m grown I don’t really give a fuck
(Nobody said it was easy)
I know there’s light at the end of this tunnel
But I’m running so fast I’m afraid I might stumble
(No one ever said it would be this hard)
I never really knew what to expect
Cause I’ve tried so hard but haven’t reached my dreams yet
