Square One - Notions

I’ve been holding onto day by day

I let go something like yesterday

How can you look into my eyes and say the same thing?

That everybody’s tryna tell me everyday

«Be realistic.»

It was only meant to cage me

It’s just a matter of time before I break

I seethe, I breathe into an ember

I hope it bursts into a flame that you remember

Light up the shadows so now I can see them better

They call me friend, but are they?

I just don’t remember

I am a nobody, but I’m trying to find myself

This busted road I stumble on, I know too well

I’ll build this kingdom on my own, I don’t need help

This is the drive that flows and pumps

Through every blood cell in myself

And I’ve been searching for my faith, but now it’s all gone

I need to build myself from scratch and that’s the hard part

Be unpredictable and call yourself a wild card

‘Cus when you’re on the grind you gotta be a diehard

I’ve been holding onto day by day

I let go something like yesterday

When I am all alone, I see my true colors unfold

They’re bursting forth to make themselves known to the world

I know that if I just stay strong, and hope, I won’t suffer long

Once I harness my resolve, I will set forth and carry on

I have got nothing left to prove

I know my worth

Now I don’t have to answer to you

I have won this game, you lose

I have got nothing left to prove

I know my worth
