[Verse 1: Elijah]
I feel like i'm in a place
Where I don't know where i'll go
I know I gotta pace myself
But I just move on so slow
I see my goals and opportunities, they're right in my face
Yet I would lose some confidence as I would live in this place
Where people laughed at all my dreams
And say id never go far
That sh*t was getting to me
Like it was leaving a scar
I knew that being who I was
Growing up I would get it
Cause I was not black enough
And all the asians would mention
That I just don't belong
No I do not belong
And all that negative energy had me caught in this web
Of feeling unmotivated in a personal sense
So I was hiding insecurities of how I would look
Change the way I would dress
And write my plans in a book
I have decisions mapped out
Maybe i'll get it in time
My brother told me that the world is yours
So get it and shine
[Hook]
But where am I going?
I just want a better life before I go
I'm taking my time
I know i'm alone
But baby you know I can't stay still on this path unknown
[Verse 2: Elijah]
Reflecting on my old past
Of where I wasn't that serious
Of living life, I was living fast
I tried to write up different songs
And things that mattered to me
Like quoting lyrics from illmatic to the Low End theory
To be a n*gga, or an asian, whatever people called me
I had a guy question if I had an identity
So here I am, questioning who the f*ck I would be
As I would care less in school, and feel like I was in need
Of things to inspire me, from life experiences seen
But nothing got me through living better than music to me
I told my momma I had dreams of giving her the life that she wants to see
Working two jobs, as my dad struggled as recession started
I know I had to be a man, I had to plan out how I could get them out though
So I studied the game
I made beats and things and now I feel cut out so
I'm taking better direction
I'm always making mistakes
Pardon my faults as exceptions
I know I can carve out my lane
So everything will make sense
Gotta get in time, though
Gotta hustle for the ends
Like I came from the Bando
Can't get the bare minimum
n*gga going commando
Reflect on mistakes
And move on as the days go
I think i'm understanding my own worth
When I was adamant to kick the curve
Maybe this journey is what I need
For understanding my own sanity
I know that my path has my losing things
But I gotta move forward, i'm getting me
It's hard to think
But i'll take on this chance on this road I see
[Hook]
But where am I going?
I just want a better life before I go
I'm taking my time
I know i'm alone
But baby you know I can't stay still on this path unknown
