Artesia Lyrics by Drex Carter

Artesia

2017

Minutes turn to days
And days turn to hours
The years turn to more
I took a couple steps backwards
And if I ain't moving forward
This the forward to the rapture
I been rapping with a vision
For like 60,000 hours
And time don’t mean shit me
An open mind will set you free
I open eyes that's history
Artesia still a mystery
Ok we grew up on that sidewalk
Bike lanes and high talk
High stakes at age 12
That ship has sailed you jumped off
Or maybe not
Maybe I just missed the mark its all talk
Maybe I had fabricated fantasies that's too dark
Maybe I should move on
Maybe shouldn’t make songs
Maybe take the winding road to picket fence and futons
Maybe take that million that we dreamed about and throw it out
But maybes don’t mean shit up when you living head up in the clouds
Cause that's that average life we shot down
Working for it more and more. can almost see the top now
Dream of trips to Bora Bora, tour the world we off now
Never thought I'd say this but you truly made me great wow
And that's a lot for me think about
Like pour a cup to drink it down
That's la famila take a bow
I heard the story thousand times
Work for yours I work for mine
And once you worked you life away
Well maybe then it will arise
And minutes turn to days
And days turn to hours
But how am I to know that
If my head is through the rafters
And if time is all we got I guess I’m working after hours
I’m just tired of waking up to walk in someone else’s shadow
I been climbing up the ladder in silence but now I’m anxious
I'm just tired of all the chatter that really defines complacence
Tell me one more time I'm wasting
My time on these tracks and playlists
My mind and these aspirations
Aspire for higher payments
I’m young and truly gifted
Just an accurate description
You say dumb I say ambition
Just to spite my intuition
I'm stagnant but I ain't lacking
Imagine if this ain't happened
That's tragic if I ain't rapping
Like static mixed in the fabric
And folds, of the mind
Is tripping due to gravity
If shit had been this easy
Man they would’ve called it alchemy
That's irony the fires weak
That's why they looking down on me
I’m searching for a higher peak
I hope you say you’re proud of me
Cause this place it all began
And your the one who made it happen
Honestly if not for you
I can not say that I’d be rappin'
This the road our dreams were laid
This the road we paved the way
This the song that made the tape
A full circles days away
Look me in my eyes and tell me that I ain't great today
Tell me I'm alive but truly haven't lived the days awake
Cause day to day I paved the way
For greatness that's amazing grace
But days equate to nothing if you only waste your days away
And minutes turn to days and days turn to hours
I finished off the book why don't you open up a chapter
If I didn't have the drive I would've copped out when it mattered
But the masses made a statement. So I dropped it and it shattered
I been waiting all my life and it's finally time to grab it
If I wanted all the hype I would've told you that I had it
Instead I took my time because perfection’s all that mattered
Let me walk you down that road that started all that I imagined
