Izayah - Paradigm Shift (feat. Leviathan) Lyrics

Mama asked me what I wanna be when I grow up
That got me thinking about my life and the person I was
Reminisced about the past and all the things that I loved
Would I break apart when I saw the push come to shove
I was making it through by the skin of my teeth
Had me praying to God every night on my knees
Had to pay all my dues while I was paying my fees
I was making music but without melody
Seven months in the trash can hitting repeat
Six bros in a minivan rocking with me
Five minutes on snooze cuz I needed my sleep
Four seconds till I drop I won't ever retreat

Stronger together
We stronger than ever
Please give me a feather
For all my endeavors so I can start building my wings till they severe
I thought I was clever
But all my emotions are switching on me
They never care bout the time or the weather

Different life ahead of me
I'm walking towards it steadily
Thoughts are so unsettling
Looking forward to better things
I could fill pages with all my regrets
Life is a chance, I'm taking a bet
I'm taking my time, or is it taking me?
I don't know but I gotta believe
Success is what I'm reaching for
Baby steps till we can soar
Do me wrong I'm keeping score
Working hard don't need a chore
Just two teens with day dreams of great things
In the current going mainstream
Currently we raising after rising
And Ain't that surprising
That in the end we finding
We going up and we don't need any wings to be flying
Go through life, no simple time
Love me right, don't sympathize
I remember days I was in a haze taking melatonin just to sleep at night
Now I sleep at night
But deep inside
I know there are wrongs that are needing right
And we can fight and it might help
But in the end we hurt ourselves
As I'm growing older I'm gaining more sobering thoughts
Like I need a job
I need a car
I'd take a Saab
But please can you stop asking me what I wanna be
I don't have a clue, I'm only eighteen,
I only have dreams
I only have ideas inside of my mind I'm trying to find stop questioning me!

Stronger together
We stronger than ever
Please give me a feather
For all my endeavors so I can start building my wings till they severe
I thought I was clever
But all my emotions are switching on me
They never care bout the time or the weather

All uncertainty ahead but I've got no choice
Time to put my chin up and fix my poise
All this music in my brain coming out my voice
So here's to better days and a lot more noise
I pray my steps are blessed
I hope I find success
I want get my wings
So I can get this weight off my chest
I'm waiting for some sign
Don't wanna waste more time
I want direction in my life
So I can make up my mind
Tryna be straight
We don't debate
Who gets the last laugh
17 years
Inside a cage
I was a lab rat
I'm on my own
Walking alone
Trying to relax
Other people
Hating my decisions
Don't really need that
