Chicago Freestyle

Thinking what makes me...me 
And what makes you...you
I had more faith in people than I did for myself but that's no longer true
Looking at things from a different view
Trusting the old and very wary of the new
Will you do the things you're supposed to do?
Rarely ever hearing good news whenever I get calls out of the blue
Deeper than most, the ones watching over me would be proud how much I grew
If this all comes to an end and I gotta leave my airforce uniform behind
I have no regrets, I did all I had to do and helped as much as I could with my allotted time
Only with your eyes closed can you see the most real signs
Take a bullet for you? I would've been first in line
But people's agenda appear more clearly with time
Jealousy is deceptive and love is blind
Don't worry about it though, time eventually makes everything fine

Can't keep watering everyone else's garden and expect yours to grow
Sometimes it just takes letting a couple leeches go 
Who is bringing something to the table vs who is just for show
The darkness of my inner demons try to win every day but the good inside me continues to glow
Trying to figure out the secrets to success.... trying to keep all my goals in a row
Staying humble through the highs and being positive through the lows
Some will tell you what you want to hear but not everything they know
Trying to break through all my generational barriers, no time for me to go slow

Trying to stay in the present since the past memories seem better/worse than they were
Not sure what I expect, I just know it will be good
Isabell and I are always doing a lot more for people than we should
Doing our part and leaving out the rest
Anticipating every outcome since only our intuitions knows best
Entire family telling me not to stress
It's different for me though because I already have a long list of people I plan to bless
Grandma turns 90th this month and she says she still prays for me every day
We're both racing against the clock but in our on different way
Why do we rarely say what we really want to say?
I just hope you're really okay
We don't even process our emotions anymore, we just put on some sort of distraction and press play
Always hoping the person closest to us will stay
And when you choose to show them all the different versions of you...that they wont look away
Karma will eventually pay
Live your life in such a way, that your final replay will be okay
