about
A pensive, hopeful track for the New Year.
lyrics
Celebrate the times behind us
How they remind us to
Celebrate the days before us
We're living in the chorus
Looking back at the days gone by
There’s a lot I could regret, man I ain’t gon lie
But I pay no mind cuz my aim so high
When the clock strikes midnight I’ll waste no time
It’s a rough ride on this circling sphere
So year after year we gon persevere
Let the past stay behind you it ain’t worth the fear
And you can’t live fast if you’re stuck in third gear
So let me help you out with what not to do
Take a swing at anything that’s offered you
You gotta plot your moves, decide what’s not for you
Then go for what you’ve chosen with hot pursuit
If you don’t change nothing then it stays the same
I know it’s dark right now but it’s worth the pain
So if you’re standing in the rain, keep fanning the flames
Cuz the present is upon us and it’s yours to claim
Celebrate the times behind us
How they remind us to
Celebrate the days before us
We're living in the chorus
New year, old me, hope we would have changed it up
Regardless, raise a cup, resolve to face the rough
Road ahead, head down, heart strong, on the path but the path is long
Feeling more beat than this beat you hear me rapping on
Anyone dependent on, St. Christopher, the pendant on
The traveler will travel on, from Baltimore to Babylon,
The water might be choppy but all boats’ll lead to Avalon
Run the gamut, make or break a habit
Find a love that sweeter than the seeds up in a pomegranate
Take a minute, nothin’s ever finished
All we’re trying to do is make a move and leave here undiminished
New year, old me, hope I can slow down
Anything that’s numbered deserves to count
You get a second chance every single second you get
So make the most, make the toast, and enjoy this trip
Let's raise a glass to what is past
And to what we've yet to find
So come what may we'll greet the day
With Auld Lang Syne
Celebrate the times behind us
How they remind us to
Celebrate the days before us
We're living in the chorus
