Lyrics
I'm pretty sure it's Teck-Zilla Whatchu know about my life Used to be scared of the night time As a kid, flashbacks of a past life Maybe, it's funny now in hindsight Chronicles of an Ib boy Never had a childhood packed with toys It was books and more books Head bowed, stooped, reading in all nooks I remember reading about Anini Back then I used to wonder how he did it I remember reading about Kamala the wrestler I read about Nikola Tesla It didn't take much for people to predict my future teaching as a college professor But listen, I was blessed with arts Always knew destiny'll play its part Smart mouthed kid Brevity of a South-South chief Leaning towards my version of rebellio I was playing the Mau Mau script in Kenya My dad was a big influence He's still a big influence See my dad in his element and see me There's not a big difference School life was a stroll in the park Cos I didn't have to do much to get by Though I hated my syllabus And hated the system that wouldn't allow a bird fly Quit my job when music found me- Put that job security sh*t behind me Stupid? cos I'd just been newly promoted Or maybe not, maybe music will pay me more I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted Life of an upcoming artiste Dreams of pretty women and living lavish On some days you feel closer to those dreams Others days outlandish Sometimes I'm frought with guilt Like there's so much more you could give Why limit yourself to the kick and snare As avenues through which you reveal But hold up! One at a time, right? I should work only by my timeline Ironic how I used to be scared of the dark Now I fully function at night time Measures taken to balance my sanity Reminder that all that sh*t is vanity Gained a whole new interesting perspective The second the doctor confirmed my anxiety Immediately altered my reality Went for therapy to restore parity Was daily reminding myself not relinquish the power this sh*t done had on me Just when I thought I'd gotten my victory I lost someone who was so dear to me My dad pa**ed so suddenly I thought that sh*t was gonna be the end of me Damn, it still could be the end of me The thoughts of quitting has been flickering Right now nothing is anything to me Reevaluating what mean the world to me Promises I made to my mama I told her she was never gonna suffer Either by jocking and jiving or rapping You know I gotta make it happen I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted I'm tired, I'm exhausted
