Breaking Free Lyrics by Jay Young

0

[Intro] (Lil Drift)
Yeah... Uh...
Yo!
[Verse 1] (Lil Drift)
Been gone for quite some time now
I'm tryna figure out what I'm suppose to do now
Cuz the music, I just don't feel the same about
Feelings of doubt hangs over like a dark cloud
And I see no progression, only oppression
This depression got me scrambling for money like an obsession
My aggression reflects my depression
My first impression doesn't live up to what I was expecting, that's my confession
No regression, I just gotta fight on through
Cuz what they say to me, they just don't say the same to you
And you haven't lived with what I've been through
So when you say "you feel me" I know that just ain't true
Damn, it's all smiles on the outside
But on the inside, is where I'm all tied
Anger as my guide, I'm heading for the stars
My life sentence isn't being served behind bars
[Hook] (2X) (Ashleigh Munn)
The dark nights and coldness that follows
I can't help but think about tomorrow
When the light might shine on me
And I, get my chance to break free
[Verse 2] (Lil Drift)
The dark nights and coldness that follow
The kind of feelings that leave me all hollow
My right side, nobody is standing by
My left side, I see demons trying to run my life
I see temptation even in the brightest light
I guess I'm tryna look for hope in the darkest night
Uh, motivation is what I'm thirsting for
The spark inside me is what I need restored
I envision my decisions with precision
But my indecision is what blurs my vision
And it's kinda sad, my hesitation will be my downfall
Unless I can swing at it like a baseball
And knock it out the park, I need you to remember
That I do it for you, you're my last burning ember
Because of you, the raging fires blaze again
So I thank you for this push, my good friend
[Hook] (2X) (Ashleigh Munn)
The dark nights and coldness that follows
Can't help but think about tomorrow
When the light might shine on me
And I, get my chance to break free
[Verse 3] (Lil Drift)
I'm getting better with every letter, I'm discontent
Cuz for me, this music serves as a supplement
My mind state is something that I need to reinvent
This negativity is something I don't represent
But its been forced upon, thinking till the break of dawn
My life issues are what I need to settle on
I need to solve them quick, follow some kind of algorithm
I see I need to recover my ways and mannerism
It's a rocky road, I see the weather's cold
I see the rain falling, I continue to roll
The rainfall is really taking a toll
On my mind and my body, on my spirit and soul
The rain falls, but I'm keeping a hold
On this light, cuz I know I could spin out of control
The rain falls, there's thunder in the distance
I'm looking towards the future, I see less resistance
[Hook] (2X) (Ashleigh Munn)
The dark nights and coldness that follows
Can't help but think about tomorrow
When the light might shine on me
And I, get my chance to break free
[Outro] (Lil Drift)
Yeah, uh...
One Night...
