Diversiam - Life of an Artist Lyrics

I'm 26 but I'm still in chapter one
This ain't a battle I can walk off and say I won
I had a bad start but I know my way
And Everyday is like a Monday
But there ain't no Friday
If I wanna make it
I need to put everything else aside
So I hope someday
Me and my dream will collide
It's crazy what people do
To climb the ladder
Not even knowing what they're climbing after
My life's a book
That I never really open up
But once I open up
My inspiration is on fire
My gas station so I can
Continue writing lines
They want me to tell you
The real story of life
But every time I say a thing
They get raw
In my head I'm fighting a silent civil war
You think this is deep
Well don't get me started
I write about life
And that's the life of an artist

The drug addiction hit me like a cancer
Tho in my music I found n hold the answer
Give me a pen n paper n I write about life
Everyone's in here so why would you doubt mine
They're telling me I ain't no Michael Jackson
I don't want to be
Don't get me wrong
Cause he was the best
This is what I was made for
I ain't no acting
I started once I came to the west
And i look out of the window of the plane and i feel great
Grateful for what I have
Some real nice real estate
A privilege most don't come to enjoy
Still it's pushing heavily on me
So I come to destroy and employ
A detective for my mind to fix me
Why did it pick me
I think about it and it hits me
I went numb and started to be a little heartless
I write about life
That's the life of an artist

An artists mind
Is always in pain
Do I have to die?
To be a legend one day!
