This Life is for the Taking - inst by Justin Loring
I'm running out of excuses,
This noose is getting tighter,
They tell me I'm a lucky one,
I tell them I am a coward,
I need to answer to myself,
I dance and cry in the shower,
Knocking everything off the shelf,
Blessed with stress but looking for something else,
Look at this mess I made,
I carry shame to every game I play,
What are these stains I carry today?
Nah, I need to change the frame; change what I say,
Stay with the pain, gotta stay focused
I’m the hardest opponent I know it,
I show it in fits,
Knowing I can change this life I live,
Shit I am complacent
Giving up the chase when,
I still want first place,
This life is still for the taking!
