1ne [unfinished]

I'm tired...so so tired...
My body grows weary with every attempt to soar
Whenever I need rest, my companionship is needed more
A text, instant messenGERS, some light conversation
Or a stupid argument in this distant relation.
Bullshit.
Not much longer can I handle it
This trinity of stress - work, school, and band
It seems that my dreams to succeed are at hand, yet
The road to success is truly a rough one
I know school is good, but not if I don't care enough for it
Work should support me, but I'd still rather abort it
This band is so grand to me
My life's biography, composed musically in its entirety
So new to me, it used to be this dream simply REFUSED TO BE...
Well now it's here and it feels funny to live my dream. Literally.
So I have to work on it. I have to put time in
Yet this work and school still wants to win
I feel that the band is my best bet to win this game of life
How do you explain that to your parents?
They won't understand..
Well...really my mom is the one that wouldn't understand
My dad used to play violin and would always tell me, "Man...
if you get good enough with that bass and you make it your career
then work won't be work and you've no need to fear
whether you've lived your life the way you wanted because of what you love
and what you love is what you do and that's all you need, son.
It seems that your dreams resemble what mine used to be.
And it seems that you can play that bass quite beautifully.
And I believe that, through you, my dreams still live within me.
So I'll support you and your cause wholeheartedly."
So through the stratosphere, my spirit soars sporatically
For so long, I've strived to find where I oughta be
And these demons used to always get the best of me
But still I fight to see if it's right to be...
True to me. Personally, everyone that knows me can agree
I'm about as unique as each line in my poetry
I'm about as fun as massive bubblewrap popping
And I'm about spreading the love -- NEVER STOPPING.
So I think it's okay to say that I'm going to continue
Feeding you these words until you sampled the whole menu
iFlow til I die
Cuz my Soul doesn't lie
iFlow Soul through every fingah!
So let it ring in ya ears for the rest of your years!
Let death and despair be the LEAST of your fears!
Let your spirit rain forth -- don't be afraid to show tears!
Let your fight have to right to inspire your peers!
Keep going, fellow artists, because you are on the right path
To a life of cherished memories that will become an awesome past
Ever since I been blessed with the poetic soul Ness
I've been ever-so-confident that I'm blessed with the best
Even when our friendship was put to the test
It was us in the end -- standing taller than the rest
Now we takin' these matters into our own hands
iFlow Soul is the business -- artistic vision in our plans
Whether it be a rhythm, a beat, a vision or a rhyme
