Another Lifetime

VERSE 1: January 1st 2023 I was on malaria and typhoid medicine Like 2023 is this how you choose to begin God is the greatest cause Jesus had got me healed Life is a trip, I’m sitting at the backseat Observing passengers everyone is unhappy Because the country’s economy is throwing back flips Election is at hand, they’re determined to not quit But inside my head, I’m having different thoughts I’m not hoping on the government for my deepest wants I understand there’s no such thing as a perfect world But you and I can be drivers of our life’s bus That same January, I suffered a sharp pain in my abdomen I couldn’t sleep, the pain was effing intense, couldn’t even eat properly Drugs I was taking couldn’t even seem to alleviate it. HOOK: Can I get another lifetime, Like if I die tonight, Can I get another lifetime? Cause short are the times, Can I get another lifetime? My dreams to optimize, Can I get another lifetime? God please, Can I get another lifetime? VERSE 2: In fact two more I need to prove to the universe I can do more And I will be more appreciated by the newborns I’m underrated it’s like an effing tumor I need a different environs, a different platform A generation to be blessed by my rap songs Cause right now I feel I’m trapped in the wrong world Why are ladies in the street wearing bum shorts? Underwear online shaking buttocks And some men's life purpose is to get some No one is thinking on how to make a better world So when I rap with substance I just get shunned On the media almost everything is sexualized Will you open your eyes, and come to visualize A greater purpose that will fulfill all of our lives Nobody lives forever, but legacy long survives (HOOK) VERSE 3: Perhaps inspire them better with the right rhymes I’ve been doubting myself ‘cause I barely get hyped It’s hard to hit the bull eye on the first try Is like I’m asking for something that is impossible But you said with you that nothing is impossible I could have asked for great fame and the world’s wealth But I’m more concerned about our soul’s health I’ve wasted most of my days, some useless es I’ve chased Your V wouldn’t sooth my pain, Your V wouldn’t make me great And some wrong niggas I met Meaningless vibes they connect And fake friends, I banked on but eff me up life Zenith They try to kill my dreams Is either nightmare or sleep paralysis What if I don’t get up? This bus we’re riding in what if it effing somersaults What if I just get shot? This ulcer pain it hurts (Hook)
