From...Now!

That's why from now on
I'm going to enjoy every day (every day)
Cause life is too short
So, I'm gon' get on with it if I may (if I may)

(For way too long, I was blinded)
Wasn't in the mood for surprises
The mundane pays good I can't complain
Or can I, cause some days good ain't enough
Why am I?
Self-driven, not sure of the destination
Sidetrack on my journey, always on vacation
Can't afford another lost day
Literally, I have no time for regret to back pay
(For way too long, I was trying)
To hide in my 9 to 5
Between moments, I catch a second to think
Is this what my life was supposed to be?
Overwhelmed, I knuckle down and put my hand to the grind
Destiny seems to be the theme of my life
So many questions I tend to forget
The answers in the doing sidelines for the dead

That's why from now on
I'm going to enjoy every day (every day)
Cause life is too short
So, I'm gon' get on with it if I may (if I may)
(So, let's go)

(For way too long, I was blinded)
Yeah, I got paint in my eyes, damn
I got a spray can in my hand
I'm hitting up my mark wherever I am
I'm trying to be the man, have the same feeling like passing exams
Then came scandalous lies, ever since I was only yay high
(For way too long, I was trying)
To be H-N-I-C
To make people recognise me
To have shorty calling out Gee
Never thought about L-I-F-E
Now I got my own family
Love what you do, do what you love
It's not about me anymore, it's all for my son

That's why from now on
I'm going to enjoy every day (every day)
Cause life is too short
So, I'm gon' get on with it if I may (if I may)

(For way too long, I was blinded)
I didn't take the world for what it is
I ignored the bad, only saw the innocence
The ugliness unmasked itself, something like a horror flick
It truly opened up my eyes
Started seeing the deception and the orchestrated lies
I saw it for the first time
The world I grew to know was nothing more than a disguise
(For way too long, I was trying)
To understand what was happening
I couldn't turn away; I had to start accepting it
I pulled the blinds from my eyes, told myself that's how it is
And I grew wiser with time
Been burnt by the best, learnt to read between the lines
One of the lessons in life
Can't stand hidden agendas, that's why I speak my mind

That's why from now on
I'm going to enjoy every day (every day)
Cause life is too short
So, I'm gon' get on with it if I may (if I may)
