17 - Abstract

Used to dream 'bout this

Looking up to stars

Steady plotting on a wish…

This is how a heart breaks

This a hit made off a lot of missed takes

This a boy turned man through the music

This a grind five minds turned into a movement

This a blueprint to the top you can cruise with

Get you out yourself doubt, make you wanna do shit

This a warm light, to a dark night

Eyes on the town watching over like the Dark Knight

I got done wrong, so you know I had to do right

You know what I done, I ain’t gotta set the mood twice

Out the town, to the city, from the city overseas

Couldn’t do this on my own

I knew I would need the team

Dreams get dream’t when the lights turn low

But the grass ain’t green where the lights don’t show

17, I was out for revenge, yes

I know I can never make amends, yes

I know I was standing at the edge, yes

But you don’t know the meaning of depressed, yes

You’re nobody till somebody let’s you down

And you ain’t ever gonna swim until' they let you drown

Go from pieces on the ground to the peace you found

Record pieces of myself, this a piece right… now

22 and I’m way more wise to the fact that the world

Makes plans that the mind can’t hatch

No heart makes dreams work and time can’t match

And I choose to be truth, nothing rhymes like

Said «I'm 22, way more wise to the fact that the world

Makes plans that the mind can’t hatch

No heart makes dreams work and time can’t match

And I choose to be truth, nothing rhymes like that.»
