I try to go with the grain and swim with current
Separating what is important from what is urgent
Cause it’s easy to get tossed about
By the waves of life, leaving you stranded and feeling lost somehow

I need to practice self-constraint
But resistance kicks in, there’s going to be hell to pay
It’s typical, every day in defensive mode
Losing my cool and then explode, but I know I can get it though

The only way out is through
Today may be a waste but tomorrow’s a new
Chance to advance show up and improve
And if I don’t succeed try again on round 2

I’m on limited time, one day I will die
So I really see no reason not to give it a try
Stay present to the moment, focus on the goal and
No matter what happens I know I have to keep going

Life is pressure so I’m pushing back
And every loss has a lesson yeah I’m learning that, we’ve got to face the facts
Change is constant from dusk till dawn
We’ve got all stand strong and fight on

I hope that one day you might hear it, truth before convenience, truth before comfort
I hope that I believe it if I see it but I’m unsure
Lost in transition, lost in translation
The very same condition thats sweeping this whole nation

I’m trying to gain position I’m praying for inflation
I’m not really saying much because I’m trying to make a statement
Now you don’t see me at the club but I don’t see you at the bank
Numbers are adding up and I’ve got myself to thank

I’m breaking these walls down I’m trying it all now
I’m leaving them sprawled out
I fear no fallout, I can’t stand waiting no hesitation
Procrastination is something that really does try my patience

I’m doing my best to make it this world is for the taking
Shaking shit loose and blending it into a new creation
Using imagination, like I’m naming constellations
I’m writing my own proclamations

Life is pressure so I’m pushing back
And every loss has a lesson yeah I’m learning that, we’ve got to face the facts
Change is constant from dusk till dawn
We’ve got all stand strong and fight on
