verse1:

I fear that life is taking its toll, I’m feeling lifeless/

The fight for taking control has got me righteous/

A crisis waits to unfold how can I write this/

Without being blatant and cold man I don’t like this/

My own family hating on me what kind of shit is that/

No room for the negative had to get rid of that/

Not the type to talk Was never one for chitter chat/

Respect is only given to those who learn to give it back/

In other words you gotta earn it/

every bridge built has a foundation that strong without it, gotta burn it/

moving on only way I’m getting threw the storm/

I just grind till I have my own horn to toot upon/

Prove me wrong but I doubt that that’ll happen/

If I fail bet their reaction will be one of satisfaction/

I guess that’s what was lacking only thing that was gone/

But everything is clear now so I’m headed back home/


Hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/

verse2:

i Had to do some soul searching/

But now I’m so certain/

That I’m a make it I’m a be the sole person/

To do it my way only way that its working/

I’ll let you see it all homey there aint no curtains/

this is not a show This is me exposed/

as opposed to always being clothed/

bare my soul in the song through lyrics that I told/

on the highway of life I’m just trying to make it home/

but lust try to misdirect me I almost got lost/

a course to a dead end damn I had to hop off/

almost lost shorty now my time i allocate/

for me to think it over gotta reevaluate/

but now I’m almost home the distance getting shorter/

I just gotta get my priorities in order/

Left as a youngster and i came back grown/

Now I’m in good place so I’m coming back home/


hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/

verse3:

so i took a furlough but ya boy is back/

and now i'm on the Merlot it's no longer yak/

enlightened by the fact/

that there's people in the world who actually relate to what i'm writing in my raps/

and that alone is good enough/

feel like i'm full of luck/

cuz i done came a ways from days of being hooded up/

so like my attitude my wardrobe change/

just a grown man doing grown man things/

so whateever is to come i hope that god prepares me/

always on the run i'm never stationary /

i could see it all i'm a visionary/

but its hard to see the truth when the information varies/

who do i believe aint no one here to trust/

i'm trying to tell my fam there aint no one here but us/

cuz they dont give a fuck so i feel alone/

but i done had enough its time i headed home/

hook:
I'm taking control/
of my life my mind and my soul/
no one is gonna tell me where i'm at is wrong/
or where there going is where i should of been all along/
