No guarantees that we make it to tomorrow
We hardly need only moments here in sorrow
Tough to start special if the actions parallel
A reason that our stories' meant to tell
Forget about the pleasure if time is carefree
Locked out when I knew to turn the key
I'm in a better state of mind that's worth saving
You could never change these times that keep paying
A student of the game but I still count the clock
Made a good rap then run out of stock
What's out only been a building block
And when I go free, they’re in a state of shock
But who's supposed to tell me when it all stops
Let me know my time, not the beat drops
Tell me where I go, what I need to know
Let me see light if I can follow
Hit the scene feeling a bit short handed
Can I know what the next world's demanded
Where's the past one for my understanding
To draw the whole map there's gotta be planning
If it's criminal, at least it's organized
To let you stand by and be civilized
Many try to change it, vision in their eyes
Walk the whole world, never touch the skies
Some to submit, the day they lose their minds
Always off the court but two suicides?
I don't really think these cats got nine lives
The least I wanna see, a play with eight tries
They say to force smiles whiter than the lie
That none of these thoughts ever supposed to shy
Meters tune me out but also tune me in
Keeping up my tonic leaving out the gin

No guarantees that we make it to tomorrow
We hardly need only moments here in sorrow
One guarantee that can try to bring us stress
We try to shine so we never second guess
