I remember hanging at the park as a youngin with my momma
I used to love that playground
20 years later at the house upstate in the summer
Birds outside the window while I make sounds

What a feeling this feeling is
I’m cruising up Taconic with my speakers blaring Phife and Tip
Rest in peace to legends,
But that energy still present when we’re bumping it
Give people my soul, food for thought
Yeah that sustenance
Ever since the tides changed my mind frame ain’t been quite same
I guess ambition keeps my hungry, I skip lunch most days
You see this here’s my everything (forever and always)
Cause I still want them better things (we’ll be okay)
I’ve spent nights up till sunrise my soul high off vibes
Never felt more alive, I’m back
Life’s been sweet like Briermere farm pies
Take a ride to the north shore while I’m still in this state of mind
Still LI that’s fact

Whatever come my way, don’t hear a word they say
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this here
My whole life
It’s been a long time for this confidence to set in
Couldn’t give a damn bout what’s unwritten
I’ve waited my whole life for this here
My whole life

Y’all go ahead, keep talking that
Things I give a damn about are all in tact
Feels like I’m on overdrive, ain’t holding back
Uncertainty’s a broken map
Paths worn out from too many doing the same thing,
Complacency’s a record scratched
My father used to tell me not to worry
or take life in such a hurry. Why we rushing to our deaths?
But when I die, just burn me down to ashes
I don’t need no casket
I ain’t afraid of dying but I ain’t ready yet
I’ve been saying CON TEMPLATE till the day I die
A nine to five would get me by, but I’m trying to thrive
I want me and all my people to be living right
I’ve waited my whole life to feel alive

Whatever come my way, don’t hear a word they say
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this here
My whole life
It’s been a long time for this confidence to set in
Couldn’t give a damn bout what’s unwritten
I’ve waited my whole life for this here
My whole life
