Teal Douville - Marathons lyrics

[Verse: 1] All I see are lights All I see is hype All I sing is songs In the key of life All they see are timelines They don't see the grind They don't wanna see you speak your mind They just wanna sing along Spent 27 years tryna share my voice Funny, after 27 years I can't hear my voice Got a lot of things I don't know Like why should I be on the microphone Why am I in a condo When my family in Haiti just lost their home All my life I made art All my life I sang songs Twice I almost lost my mom All my life she stayed strong These days i don't call much When I lose her I'm gone hate myself Birth name, stage name, same thing Either way I play myself Get messages every day Tellin' me my messages make a change Tellin' me to never quit, never break Almost like you knew I was feelin' pain And you feel the same So when it's hard I just wanna say It's not a race Run your life like a marathon Day by Day Runaway, Aye [Hook] Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm feelin' very on Now I'm feelin' very on [Verse: 2] Been doin' it ever since 10 (yeah) Almost 20 years in love with the pen (yeah) Never day dreamed bout anything Cause chasing dreams how I live (yeah) Smokin' weed how I live (yeah) You wanna live how I live (yeah) They don't wanna see you on the stage In that married life with some kids (nah) So I thought So I stunt So I stunted my growth So I f** with these hoes So I might be alone Alright, completely alone (yeah) Just me and the music Ridin' away (way) Ridin' away (way) But what is the gain (gain) Gotta get paid Gotta get fame f** that Came in the game with a bus pa** Imma be the same when they bump that When you give me love I give you love back When somebody change don't trust that Watch for the snakes gotta cut gra** That's real life you can trust that Running this race, got lost sometimes But there's never been a day I don't come back Like marathons (yeah yeah) Like marathons I'm going strong on everything (yeah yeah) I go for broke and bet it all But not for me and not for y'all This rappin' sh** ain't all I got Gotta cop a crib for my momma once And my godson need a college fund That's marathons Real life, that's marathons One time, that's marathons Life goals, that's marathons, yeah (yeah yeah yeah) [Hook] Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm feelin' very on Now I'm feelin' very on [Hook: Outro] Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm thinking marathons Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm k**in' every song Now I'm feelin' very on Now I'm feelin' very on
