The Present Lyrics by El Sancho (ontario)

The Purge

2021

(Chorus - x2)
It's a new day rising, the past is gone
The show must go on, but maybe not for long
This is a gift we were given so, bask in the present
And we'll keep making legends till way find a way to heaven
(Verse 1)
It's the same sentiment you've heard in so many popular songs
How you don't know what you got till it's gone
So if you're trying to stretch it out, you're really not in the wrong
If dark clouds fall down they won't stop me for long
It ain't over, I don't hear nobody rocking a gong
We're all here in the flesh, staying cocky and strong
Life's a trip, causе I kind of used to take it for granted
Onе of the biggest ingrates on the face of the planet
I couldn't understand it, I had no reason to beef
So much slipped away that now I believe what they speak
When they say life is a gift, cause there ain't much as priceless as this
Remember that if a crisis should hit
I used to think life was a bitch, but I was mistaken
I was confused cause my mind, soul and body were breaking
It's kind of hard to realize what you got till it's taken
Away from you and you're waiting for a meeting with Satan
(Chorus - x2)
(Verse 2)
I wonder why it takes so long to appreciate
The gifts we've been given, even in an indecent state
I'm used to a system that makes most people wait
It looks good far away, then you start to screech the brakes
Soon as you see the reality of the situation
Then you're just a hop and a skip away from asphyxiation
No choke artist, I'm planning to breathe easily
Hollering at homies that I haven't seen recently
I used to lean back and get sloshed in the dark
Until I lost the luxury of a walk in the park
I was a He-Man standing with his sword to the skies
Playing by my own rules like it was Lord of the Flies
Now I'm blowing through my bucket list before I start kicking
And tomorrow gets sealed up by time's partition
All those comatose with no regards given
This here's a treasure whether it's easy or hard livin'
(Chorus - x2)
(Verse 3)
I love life now, used to love nothing much
Till the lockdown came and hit me with an uppercut
All jacked up, no place to go, what the fuck
Suffocating slowly so we can't exactly suck it up
Then I start to wonder what if this is my last run
I'd be leaving so many missions just half-done
And that's unsettling so let me contemplate
What I'd do in a state of either hurry up or wait
Soon as they start the timer, I'd drop the hard rhymer persona
And give everyone I love a reminder
Find the young guns and pass on my experience
Have a last beer and a spliff and get delirious
Maybe squeeze in a rampage vendetta
Or be the first to strike as if I was a trendsetter
But please keep in mind this is all a hypothetical
Worst case scenario, cause life is incredible
(Chorus - x2)
(Outro)
Yeah, you know it! We're gonna get there one way or the other
By land, by sea
Come on everybody and ride with me
By land, by sea
Come on everybody and ride with me
One way or another, by land, by sea
Come on everybody and ride with me, yeah!
