(When I Get) SOBER

It's just a matter of time

A light where the tunnel ends

I'll find myself better than I've ever been before

And over a night

I'll grow a new pair of wings

And fly far away from here

So lemme make it clear

I'm waiting for the Golden City

See it in the distance, how it shine so pretty

Where all the water's so clean and the grass is all green

And the clothes that I buy always fit me

I'm tired of these rags, got my mind on the riches

Sick of feeling like my whole life's on a wishlist

Sometimes I wish I never wanted to rap

'Cause my wallet ain't fat, and this shit mad expensive

But I ain't complaining too much 'cause I'm doin' what I love

From the heart like I'm spitting up blood

I see light on the horizon, yeah, it's brighter than the sun

Feel my own potential rising, help me climb a notch above, aye

If I just keep at it all my hopes will manifest

As long as I keep writing out what I'm feeling in my chest

Man, I'm destined to succeed, that's what everybody said

At least, that's what everybody said

It's just a matter of time

A light where the tunnel ends

I'll find myself better than I've ever been before

And over a night

I'll grow a new pair of wings

And fly far away from here

So lemme make it clear

When I get sober

It's over

Just a little closer

Like pushing a boulder up a hill

But when I get sober

It's over

It's just one day closer

Like pushing a boulder up a hill

But it feels so far away, don't it?

It always feels so far away, don't it?

Even after you've defeated every opponent

And got every component

Shit, I'd prolly be discontent if I was omnipotent

It's never enough

The dose ain't ever quite as potent

I should prolly re-up

My head got fucked up cause of covid and it's beating me up

My head got fucked up cause of weed

I'll keep it a buck

I, got some feelings but I'm keeping em tucked

I been focusing on healing but my demons is tough

Sometimes I get worried that I'm thinking too much

Try to make up for my flaws, but it deepens the cut

And I still can't help but feel like I'm stuck

Wanna shine like a diamond but I'm deep in the rough

Told my niggas that I'm quitting but I think it's a bluff

Gon' turn around and start chiefin a blunt

It's just a matter of time

God fucking damn
