Yeah, uh, yeah (Tunji)
  I, so swag, close my eyes (Yeah, let's sway)
 Uh, uh, when I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 When I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 Still I rise, still I rise
 They try to clip my wings, but still I fly
 They try to bring me down and kill my high
 They took away my crown, trying to steal my pride
 But it just me stronger
 And even though them days got longer
 I learned some vital lessons when I made those wrong turns
 I'm grateful for the painful things that forced me to grow
 Because now I know to head straight at that fork in the road
 And I'm a fortunate soul, because I learned from the best
 They told me just work on your music, and you'll earn your respect
 But the product I promoted, watch it turn to a cheque
 And every time you rock the mic you reach your personal best
 But sometimes, this life is too much for me
 I should be living in an effing life of luxury
 Because the limit is the sky, but I struggle to survive
 So when it gets too hard, I just close my eyes
 When I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 When I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 Yo, I rise with the sun in the early morning
 Facing this world we born in
 My mind's swirling, storming, working until the words be forming
 People tell me that the sky is the limit
 But I'm living for right now, because I could die any minute
 This life is turning the page, earning a wage
 Learning to stay firm in your ways, burning with rage
 Learning only for the lessons, not concerned with the grades
 And roaming lonely through this Californian urban decay
 They always told me play in your work, work your play
 Be a man, stay strong when it hurts to stand
 If you love something and it's really worth a damn
 Then you should always feel the passion like you first began
 So here I am, my eyes on what's next
 Imma fight until the death
 The pride of the West inside of my chest
 I manoeuvre through the cries and the sweat
 The lies and regrets
 And when it gets too hard, I close my eyes and reflect
 When I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 When I close my eyes
 When I close, when I close my eyes
 And everything's alright
 And I drift away (drift away)
 Drift away, I drift away
 Sometimes I want to drift away
 No more living in the past, got to live today
 Sometimes I want to drift away
 But I got so much to do, so many things to say
 Sometimes I want to drift away
 No more living in the past, got to live today
 Sometimes I want to drift away
 But I got so much to do, so many things to say
