Teelow - Find a Way Lyrics

Not gonna lie lads, I'm a little bit ill
Struggled to get out of bed
Something about that, you know, fragility of life make you
Wanna be honest and crap, so
We're gonna try it
Hey, yeah

I'm an example setter
So I gotta live my words, my life is in these letters
Something like Paul or Peter
Stallings when tryna reach the precipice cause caught between the
Sensible normal features and destiny's call I'm feeling
Im at the point where I could jump off but that feels like cheating
My lady out of the stability that she's been seeking
Conditioning kicking in cause I like the steady pay
And satan in my ear whispering "who's listening anyway?"
Doubts been kicking my ass for many days
More than the bars, I got something to say worth celebrating
But do I have the marketing? Can I finesse the game?
This life is in the margins and I wanna spread the page
But cover to cover comes at the cost of certainty
How could I be 25/8 and not be earning fees?
Can't lose my peace because of rising urgency
But lately I've been losing sleep tryna choose either the earth or me

But if not me then who?
Not seeing the way ain't no reason to
Hit pause or delay on what you need to do
You better find a way
You better find a way
But if not me then who?
Not seeing the way ain't no reason to
Hit pause or delay on what you need to do
You better find a way
You better find a way

I'm in the twilight of my youth, writing of the truth
I found during times I was losing, wisdom was gained through it
Not just experience, I got it through relationship
With the author, I now know the world and what's innate in it
So my complaint sits kinda awkwardly like babysitters
Know I don't live here but I'm taught to keep the nation living
Found the connector is humility and openness
But even with my crew it seems stupidity is chosen first
We broke up over a break up album
One side saying it ain't gospel music without some
Recognition of both sides, the other side hides from
The words we stood by a year prior, like fountains
Overflowing the doubt grows and sprays out, infectious
How you hiding truth from you but wanna connect us?
And so my willingness to share is seen as reckless
Blocking out the message while tryna play tetris
Fit me into the cycle of what you seen before
That's why I need the Lord, I gotta keep the sword
At my hip cause evil soars when people treat the cause
Like a personal redemption arc, don't let the past
Be gone

But if not me then who?
Not seeing the way ain't no reason to
Hit pause or delay on what you need to do
You better find a way
You better find a way
But if not me then who?
Not seeing the way ain't no reason to
Hit pause or delay on what you need to do
You better find a way
You better find a way
But if not me then who?
Not seeing the way ain't no reason to
Hit pause or delay on what you need to do
You better find a way
You better find a way

These are the days for truth tellers and new letters
We need the brave to do better and choose reckless
Routes that prove the new methods, but who's stepping
To the plate to elevate to moon level
I knew the moonwalk when I was still in single digits
It's 20 years on this planet that made me forget it
I'm out of practice, gravity got a tight grip
That drains kids of their lightness, so it's time to fight this
I no longer buy in to your category
To move like Christian in the allegory's mandatory
And you can't try and use me as your racial quota fill
Or to convince the young people that you know the deal
I am the free one with a mind soaked in the teaching
I am the man that's brave enough to say the things he's seeing
I am the one that won't ignore the feelings, heart and brain
I am the one that will follow the call and carve a way

Yeah, carve a
That's carve like find a way
Not carve like cutting chicken

Change is inevitable
Growth is a choice
