[Intro]
Ayo, this is one of those rare moments of my life
Where the confident me is in charge
But I know me, and knowing me
I understand that it will come to pass
And so I wrote this song
It goes nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah (R-A-V)

[Verse 1]
When I'm gone (R-AV)
Try put a smile on whenever you hear this song
Extend your arms to the sky, project your palms
Yesterday's behind ya but the next day pressure's on
And so you gotta move out even when it feel like there's no moves left
Don't confuse fear for pride, it's a nuisance
Put that bullshit aside and then do this
Scan your view and decide what to do next
Uh, yo, don't play the victim
Don't lose control, nor your soul for attention
Fuck what they call you, move on and forget it
Your smiles prove 'em wrong
They will always regret shit
And then they'll fade out, out of your recollection
When your motion is forward success is
Constantly approaching in the toxic sea of roaches
When you're locked into a focus
They're impossible to notice
So it's honestly all bogus
They can bark like they're ferocious
Once your process is in progress
I can promise you, you won't miss
[Chorus]
Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
MY TIME!
It goes ({tick, tock} x8)
I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
MY TIME!

[Post-Chorus]
This is what it feels like (This is what real life feels like)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (Whenever you feel down, realize)
This is what it feels like
This is what real life (This is what it feels like)
Feels like (This is what it feels like)

[Interlude]
(Uh, uh, uh, yeah!)
(Verse two!)

[Verse 2]
Nothin' wrong with being sensitive, I'm sensitive, yes
Not to mention my debilitating penchant for stress
Nevertheless, try not let resentment persist
It's too much of an investment when no exit exists
'Cause it's only a reflection of your insecurities
But not necessarily a reflection of what you'll achieve
Don't let no pressure pen a eulogy
Or ever force you to question your true beliefs
But if it does and you fall, stand up
Understand what made you trip in the first place
Not every little hitch is an earthquake
So when you feel your world shake, don't put your hands up
Askin' is one thing, finding out's another
Bearing this in mind get your answers
Yeah, evade the hivemind
Foresight aided by my hindsight
Splash paint all outside defined lines
I won't wait for my time, I'll make my time MINE!
[Chorus]
Yeah, I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
MY TIME!
It goes ({tick, tock} x8)
I gotta get mine
While I have my strength and my time!
MY TIME!

[Post-Chorus]
This is what it feels like (This is what real life feels like)
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like (Whenever you feel down, realize)
This is what it feels like
This is what real life (This is what it feels like)
Feels like (This is what it feels like)
