On My Mind
• Written by Sawyer_Young
A hundred failures in my hindsight
Lay on the green grass stare up at the moonlight
Its getting darker, and its almost midnight
Ride it out till morning tell myself that I'm alright
But deep down inside I'm far from OK
Days run together my life turns to gray
And I try to stay focused but thoughts run away
Still I keep on moving, living day after day
Then I put on my headphones and everything changes
Everything's better my life rearranges
I lift up my head, and I strap up my laces
Keep living your life don't stop turning the pages
Love all around you, just open your eyes
There's food on your plate and there's clouds in the skies
Everyone lives and everyone dies
Be thankful for all of your lows and your highs
Or you'll lose it all in the heat of the moment
You'll lose all your future, your friends and enjoyment
Don't worry about your intelligence quotient
Just be optimistic your future is golden
Your lucks gone awry and you're feeling forsaken
Remember your friends and the hands that you've shaken
So whether your Latin or black or Caucasian
You're worth someones time in their eyes your amazing
Were born in a world full of murder and hatred
Where family is worthless and money is sacred
Where thousands of people are uneducated
Where speaking your mind is not tolerated
Our air has been poised with smoke and exhaust
The temperature's rising its melting the frost
Are you seeing the point that I'm putting across
Reality's grim and our planet is lost
But despite all the sadness, neglect and disdain
You gotta keep moving no matter the pain
Collect all the happiness you can obtain
Don't let all your struggle and work be in vain
Suddenly everything's coming together
Your future starts to look brighter than ever
Your mood just keeps getting better and better
Not worried bout dying your ready whenever
Living beyond the opinions of others
Making some money, supporting your brothers
Got a promotion, moved out of the gutters
You're learning how to work with one another
Slowly but surely your rising to fame
Hard work and success are one in the same
No matter how well you playing the game
Remember the struggle that you overcame
