Letra de 'Need It' de Ryan Oakes

It's crazy how the time pass
It's feeling like a time lapse
Going over everything while looking down this empty wine glass
I take a look around man while I'm skipping on this night glass
Living trapped inside the system
When I try to do it I max
I'm writing down my story and I hope this ain't the climax
All I see is lost hope and people getting side tracked
Thinking they go broke if they ever try
To high jack this corrupted fucking system
Watch me hit em with a bypass
I only follow my map
Don't give me no directions kid I'm tryna live it high class
You ain't welcome in this section
2017 is my class but I don't feel no connection
Because all I see are life hacks tryna run from this oppression
All I do is wake up
Get to work and chase a dream
I won't let a damn degree or anybody get between
Y'all are glued and stuck to screens
I'm pursuing make believe and I'm not sure which one is crazier
Sometimes I think it's me but I still give all I got
I'm tryna break out of these chains
I'm tryna give these dreams a shot
I just hope I got the aim
Because honestly if not I'm scared
To feel all of that pain of getting tied up
In a knot and having nobody to save me from myself
This right here is my life force
Anything and everything that I stay alive for
You wanna try and take it from me
Fuck it, I'll die for it
I'm building up my legacy ain't something there's time for
It's all I think about every minute on my mind
It's all I drink about when I'm eroded from that grind
It's all I ever wanted man I guess I'll know in time
If chasing after make believe will make the stars go in a line

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep
That you can't breathe
That you can't eat
That you can't speak
That you can't leave or back up in the past
You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last

That's how you know you really need it
That's how you know you really need it
When you working while they sleeping
And you searching for a reason
Tryna make the world believe it
You and everybody's sleeping
Ah, yeah

That's how you know you really need it
That's how you know you really need it
When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it
You can have it if you dream it
Manifest and learn to beat it
Ah, yeah

It's crazy how life goes
Everybody's ticking all around for those high notes
But when you just a foot above the ground on a tight rope
Drowning, needing help
They ain't providing no life boats
I'm back in that white coat
Cooking something crazy in the lab
I'm finding comfort in insanity
It's something that you have
If you been chasing after dreams then honestly
I'm kinda glad because the worst thing that
They taught me was insanity is bad
All this humanity I have is not destroyed but it's eroded
I never knew to get stronger that you've gotta be broken
I never knew that doors close just so others could open
I guess that's why they remind you that thorns come with the roses
Now every motherfucking moment I got eyes on my back
Once you got a foundations when they pray you collapse
Kid I still haven't made it don't tell me to relax
Cause I got people that hate this that probably setting their traps
It's nothing but facts
It's all I think about inside my head
It's all that keeps me going when I'm hanging by a thread
I'll never have a backup plan or shit to do instead
Cause if I'm not living these dreams then I'm already fucking dead

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can't sleep
That you can't breathe
That you can't eat
That you can't speak
That you can't leave or back up in the past
You gotta keep it going which you work and pray that it last

That's how you know you really need it
That's how you know you really need it
When you working while they sleeping
And you searching for a reason
Tryna make the world believe it
You and everybody's sleeping
Ah, yeah

That's how you know you really need it
That's how you know you really need it
When you take on the impossible and work until you beat it
You can have it if you dream it
Manifest and learn to beat it
Ah, yeah
