Just For Today

One is too many and a thousand is never enough,
I give no fucks I am not picking up
I stick with my mission as the times get rough
Living addicted limits the gifted but I’m no judge
I tied to touch every drug under the sun
Run after run but I never won,
Some turned to none a borderline bum,
Back at square one the healing has begun,
The demons have come but I fucking love this pain,
As I break the chains and fight for my name,
What remains through the change is not earned in vein,
I can say nothing is the same,
I can't complain and expect to get gains,
I can't trade respect for petty shame,
So I reject my old ways, just for today,
I pick up the pieces, yeah look what I make,
I stick through the seasons, yeah give me some rain,
I switch up my reasons I can no longer stay,
Not quick to forget the places from where I came,
But I journey to a new domain,
I got a lot of worries but I am thirsty to get in the game,
I put on the jersey as I get into shape
Whatever it takes, no mercy, bring on the hate
Now I am awake early so I hear what they say,
I was a fake not worthy to reclaim my last name,
The stakes are too great so I break the fucking frame,
A legend in the making look what I overcame,
A new obsession to create my own fate
No more questions I will carry this weight,
I meditate away from my depression no more escapes,
