lyrics

Produced by Kharisma
Sample: Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Verse 1
Caffeine all up in my blood stream
It's no wonder every night, that I can't sleep
I've got dreams that are sitting on the skyline
And so I won't stop because I know that it is my time

To hit the ground running so determined to win
So many people have dreams, but aren't doing a thing
To make them happen, so I work harder than them
Because this all I have, no I can't give in

I've been doing this for too long
And I don't know how, I could give up, I can't look down
From these heights, it feels like, not a thing grab me
As I rise and try to escape from gravity

So you can, move aside as I walk on by
Because I, don't have time for that negative life
I'll just, keep getting up when they push me down
and try to knock me out, I dare you to try and push me aside

I think I’ve found my stride, and now I can’t be stopped
I’ve been told that I can’t, more often than not
So if you think your words are enough to afflict me
you are just gonna have to pinch me to convince me

that I’m not blessed, because I know that’s wrong
I’ve tried my best, now I know that I must be strong
Lacked faith in myself, and it’s been too long
Now I gotta work before the opportunity is gone

Chorus
I can’t wait, for the moment that you tell me that I can't
I can’t wait, for that chance that I will get to make you mad
I can’t wait, for the opportunity to prove you wrong

Verse 2
I feel it burning in my soul
A passionate attraction to the nerve to make it happen
So I need to take control
Of my habits of planning and put my words into action

Because I've worked my whole life just to be right here
And my dreams are in reach, I can feel them near
So many say that things, hardly ever go according to plan
But my music has taken me over to Japan

That's why I sacrifice sleep, I can rest when I'm dead
Until I'm 6 feet, I won't lay in my bed.
I'll keep writing instead, until the words up in my mind
Are written over a page and recited in a rhyme

I don't want to be a dreamer that fulfil his plan
But a man full of dreams, unable to rest his hands
So I hope you understand, the position that I'm coming from
No time to sleep, so I have to keep on moving on.
