Songs in the daylight playing in my head
Kinda like the a-side hope it never ends yeah
Feel it in the bassline playing in the Benz
Kinda like the a-side hope it never ends
I never thought that life could get like this nah
But I'm still hoping it don't end like this
Still feeling like there's ways to go which is crazy
Because just a few days ago
I found an old leather bound book with a paper note handwritten
2023 I made some goals a big checklist
I wasn't aimin' low little did I know
Fast forward three years and I'm here checking every single box
Didn't take it slow
I remember when they said I'd never make it so
I put my head down they were going out but I'd stay at home
Killing everybody off like their favorite show talking Game of Thrones
Whoa destined for this since I was eight years old
'Cause I remember back in drama class
Billy Goats Gruff everybody wanna play the troll
I said "It's fine I guess I'll play the goat"
"Life imitates art" that's my favorite quote
Didn't wanna take the road so I paved my own
Paying forward by myself yeah I take a toll
But I had to take control just to break the mold
Challenging the status quo whoa yeah
Songs in the daylight playing in my head
Kinda like the a-side yeah hope it never ends
Feel it in the bassline playing in the Benz yeah
Kinda like the a-side hope it never ends
Staring at this old checklist wondering what's next
I remember when I wrote this
I was hoping that these things would bring me success
I mean technically it did
So why am I still here unfulfilled thinking "What's next"?
I thought the stress would be much less
I thought I'd rest and be up less
Less sunrise and more sunsets
Shouldn't I be happy knowing that my own son's set?
Will a certain income even change the outcome?
If I take a second am I getting outrun?
Did I mute the issues or did I turn the sound up?
'Cause it keep getting louder yeah it keep getting louder
Locked inside the bathroom in Miami before the show on the brink of tears
Telling me that you leavin' 'cause love just isn't here
All of a sudden everything becoming crystal clear
Choosing this career over you? Not in a million years
It won't interfere that's your biggest inner fear
Talked it out shifting gears fear start to disappear
Kept my head down tryin' to go the distance
But I don't wanna look up when it's over and I missed it damn
Songs in the daylight playing in my head
Kinda like the a-side hope it never ends
Feel it in the bassline playing in the Benz
Kinda like the a-side hope it never ends
I flipped the checklist over and saw a blank page
A new start clean sheet a blank slate
