Lyrics GOLD - 2LATE

Thinking back to the days when I was scared to play music out loud
Partly ashamed, my parents told me it wasn't allowed
In the fourth grade it changed my life take a look at me now
I'm making waves, I paid the price but I figured it out
No more self-consciousness
Swear nobody can box me in
Miss me with all that toxic shit
Turn it up and get lost in it
Painting pictures with words
And all the colors I bleed
My voice just needs to be heard
The only way I can breathe

I know this shit might sound cliche
But I wanna change the world
Down on my knees praying
That I can make it work
That I can take it first
I want the whole thing
Before that I lay in dirt
I'll feel the GOLD rays
Don't care if it's cliche
Been thinking like each day
I need to release all
The thoughts that I keep safe
The shit that I bleed that I know you do too
Imma fall to my knees when I know that it's true
Need to know that it's true

Need to know that it's true
Need to know that it's true
I know this is true love

I always knew I was different
I always knew they would listen
I never talk from a distance
It manifests in a vision
I've always been on a mission
To think outside of the system
Expose the lies in the prison
And recognize that we're living
In a facade til you lift it
Until you pull back the curtain
I swear the past I do miss it
But now I'm finding my purpose
Using this sound to revisit
All of the lessons I've learned
I need to find out what's missin'
I'm searching for the right words
Finding myself through these verses
I'm tryna be the best version of me
Know my own worth
It don't take a lot to find courage to be
Someone that's different that breaks outside of routine
I gotta paint my own picture
And wear my heart on my sleeve

I know this shit might sound cliche
But I wanna change the world
Down on my knees praying
That I can make it work
That I can take it first
I want the whole thing
Before that I lay in dirt
I'll feel the GOLD rays
Don't care if it's cliche
Been thinking like each day
I need to release all
The thoughts that I keep safe
The shit that I bleed that I know you do too
Imma fall to my knees when I know that it's true
Need to know that it's true

Need to know that it's true
Need to know that it's true
I know this is true love

I need to know that it's true
I bleed my colors for you
I see no others in view
That ever could taint the hue
Could never paint what I do
Forever breaking the rules
Forever breaking the rules
Bleeding my colors for you

I know this shit might sound cliche
But I wanna change the world
Down on my knees praying
That I can make it work
That I can take it first
I want the whole thing
Before that I lay in dirt
I'll feel the GOLD rays
Don't care if it's cliche
Been thinking like each day
I need to release all
The thoughts that I keep safe
The shit that I bleed that I know you do too
Imma fall to my knees when I know that it's true
Need to know that it's true
