Place I Know

So far away

I can taste but I can't see it

It's been hard

But hardly I've been beaten

Still this time

It feels so much more different

But I got to stop

And smell the flowers home

This time

I'm gonna try with much more reason

Shit what I mean is if I fail

I won't trail back to my demons

I think I got a hold

And I'll try but if I see 'em

I'm gonna have to go

Back to the place I know

This time gon' be different

This time gon' be Mikey out the trenches

And he' swinging for the fences, huh

Hit the home run, touchdown with a goal

And once we start going fast no time to slow

Just get up and go

We been on a roll

Gotta keep it moving

No grudges am I gon' hold

I need peace of mind for my own soul

I think I'm ready for my time to shine and glow

My spirit seems to be resuscitated

I used to be so mad at the world

Now it got me levitating

Been writing pages

And gotta stay hydrated

Like water I always try to stay wavy

Never dying of thirst

Cause once I'm trying to work

Keep my mind out the dirt

And keep pushing like I had no time to rehearse

And if they need it I can always run it back in reverse

Time like I had the gauntlet but I'm lighting the turf

A celebration like no other cause it finally works

And if you ain't with it then you can fly and disperse

No negativity is in me think I'm free of the curse

We're gonna shut the city down maybe the universe

But I got to stop

And smell the flowers home

This time

I'm gonna try with much more reason

Shit what I mean is if I fail

I wont trail back to my demons

I think I got a hold

And I'll try but if I see 'em

I'm gonna have to go

Back to the place I know

We only need good energy

I need that for myself so that I can be a better me

They always said don't follow your dreams

I think I figured out what that means

They're talkin' 'bout nightmares

I'm not scared

Face 'em with ease

My perspective going forward finna be just like the sea

Cool, calm and collective

But I'm a always try to reach

For the stars cause that's where I need to be

And I'll try but if I see 'em

I'm gonna have to go

Back to the place I know
