Lyrics 88 Racing - NC CARVER

Yeah
I got it this time

I remember times not far in the past
Filled with the stress and anxiety that I'll soar just to crash
I was impatient with education still aced every class
Cause if I didn't, I'm sure that Mama would beat my ass
What a drag
Man just a year ago I wasn't sure
If schooling was for me or no
If everything I worked towards
Was unwritten or set in stone
Man I just didn't know, yeah, yeah
It's a retelling of the times in our lives
Like a sitcom or movie but I forgot every line
Took some time to remember so I can put it to rhyme
Dedicated to lovers, the living, those that have died
What a life
This a call for you to follow your heart
So many times I wished that I took that advice from the start
See reality will always have you split at the seams
But you are what you wanna be when you do what you dream
This my dream
Now CR can foresee the world I have before me
I know I must be more for me to touch some more seas
Travel through all seven, proper crew so we can see more
Accelerate the journey with combustion from a C4

We are what we said we were
Gonna be when we saw the endless sea
That just took us so far from home
And I know that we can make it
So close, I almost taste it
88 racing, where we go we don't need roads (yeah, yeah)

Locking eyes with my reflection
Bloodshot from no sleep, that's a way to make your head spin
Used all the energy I've left and I'm resting with it
Or so I thought but I'm so goddamn pessimistic, let me finish
I recognize that it's me
I reconcile with my reflection, then it's onto the beat
I try to always keep control, got that SZA philosophy
But don't mean to be possessive so pardon the apostrophe
This is my dream's purpose, we've been working
Since seventeen, got some shit you'll never see
But that's the beauty in it, isn't it? that we could change it any minute
Write our futures into existence and be intentive with it
This is for the ones who pressed play then clicked off
Cause now we're bringing May back like Rick Ross
All the phases and the pages I flipped wrong
Resulted in a dream I'm so thankful to live, uh

You've seen me try
You've seen me cry
You've seen me
Now I'm trying to fly
You've seen me fight
I'm no longer blind
You've seen me
Now I'm trying to fly

We are what we said we were
Gonna be when we saw the endless sea
That just took us so far from home
And I know that we can make it
So close, I almost taste it
88 racing, where we go we don't need roads
