Lyrics

[00:02.632] Yeah, uh, yeah (Tunji)
[00:10.499] I, so swag, close my eyes (Yeah, let's sway)
[00:18.330] Uh, uh, when I close my eyes
[00:21.344] When I close, when I close my eyes
[00:23.915] And everything's alright
[00:25.654] And I drift away (drift away)
[00:28.006] Drift away, I drift away
[00:30.720] When I close my eyes
[00:31.990] When I close, when I close my eyes
[00:34.203] And everything's alright
[00:35.814] And I drift away (drift away)
[00:38.519] Drift away, I drift away
[00:41.358] Still I rise, still I rise
[00:43.827] They try to clip my wings, but still I fly
[00:46.302] They try to bring me down and kill my high
[00:48.868] They took away my crown, trying to steal my pride
[00:51.388] But it just me stronger
[00:52.661] And even though them days got longer
[00:54.667] I learned some vital lessons when I made those wrong turns
[00:57.170] I'm grateful for the painful things that forced me to grow
[00:59.785] Because now I know to head straight at that fork in the road
[01:02.347] And I'm a fortunate soul, because I learned from the best
[01:04.897] They told me just work on your music, and you'll earn your respect
[01:07.413] But the product I promoted, watch it turn to a cheque
[01:10.057] And every time you rock the mic you reach your personal best
[01:12.704] But sometimes, this life is too much for me
[01:15.436] I should be living in an effing life of luxury
[01:17.926] Because the limit is the sky, but I struggle to survive
[01:20.586] So when it gets too hard, I just close my eyes
[01:23.332] When I close my eyes
[01:24.344] When I close, when I close my eyes
[01:26.419] And everything's alright
[01:27.899] And I drift away (drift away)
[01:30.849] Drift away, I drift away
[01:33.147] When I close my eyes
[01:34.266] When I close, when I close my eyes
[01:36.809] And everything's alright
[01:38.330] And I drift away (drift away)
[01:41.055] Drift away, I drift away
[01:43.370] Yo, I rise with the sun in the early morning
[01:45.918] Facing this world we born in
[01:47.210] My mind's swirling, storming, working until the words be forming
[01:49.701] People tell me that the sky is the limit
[01:51.778] But I'm living for right now, because I could die any minute
[01:54.422] This life is turning the page, earning a wage
[01:56.870] Learning to stay firm in your ways, burning with rage
[01:59.515] Learning only for the lessons, not concerned with the grades
[02:02.137] And roaming lonely through this Californian urban decay
[02:04.811] They always told me play in your work, work your play
[02:07.537] Be a man, stay strong when it hurts to stand
[02:10.016] If you love something and it's really worth a damn
[02:12.631] Then you should always feel the passion like you first began
[02:15.165] So here I am, my eyes on what's next
[02:17.379] Imma fight until the death
[02:18.532] The pride of the West inside of my chest
[02:20.509] I manoeuvre through the cries and the sweat
[02:22.577] The lies and regrets
[02:23.583] And when it gets too hard, I close my eyes and reflect
[02:25.711] When I close my eyes
[02:26.863] When I close, when I close my eyes
[02:28.870] And everything's alright
[02:30.468] And I drift away (drift away)
[02:33.151] Drift away, I drift away
[02:35.620] When I close my eyes
[02:36.738] When I close, when I close my eyes
[02:39.434] And everything's alright
[02:40.883] And I drift away (drift away)
[02:43.568] Drift away, I drift away
[02:47.258] Sometimes I want to drift away
[02:49.005] No more living in the past, got to live today
[02:52.112] Sometimes I want to drift away
[02:54.399] But I got so much to do, so many things to say
[02:57.713] Sometimes I want to drift away
[02:59.773] No more living in the past, got to live today
[03:02.948] Sometimes I want to drift away
[03:04.929] But I got so much to do, so many things to say
