1am In Madison lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born in '98
Funny how that was my final grade
Ballin hard against the life we face
I been running home now I'm finally safe
And I been chasing this one dream
Had a few that I was bout before
Had to choose what it was gonna be
It's either 'bout the cream or it's about the Lord
I had to choose something that would make a difference and still make the money
Keep my morals and stay true to me even if it means that everyone don't love me
'08 I was standing short but still tall in spirit levels off the floor
Over time I let myself drift off the path and never saw the pain my life was headed towards
Had to lose it just to understand, what it is I had, how I missed the plan
Now I know exactly what it is I'm gonna do it even if they say I can't
'Cuz I'm not waiting
I'm not taking
Nothing from no one
You say I'm a fake? Well homie it takes one to know one

[Hook]
Do I know myself tho? Is this really me?
I'm scrolling down my timeline. I don't like what I see
I feel like I've changed, for the worse and the better
They told me I would, I threw that aside all together
But I know now, who I'm meant to be
You can tell Satan, He ain't gettin me
I'm make a difference, as long as life remains
The time for excuses is over, it's time to change
[Verse 2]
Love ain't just passion it's process, deals with the nonsense
Works through the different concepts
Even when both of you fighting
The light that's inside is that love breaking in through darkness
But you won't have it easy, and the perfect partner is a fairy tale
You can ask like any married couple
'Cuz they know the struggle of it very well
Speaking of that keep your ex in the past
Whether a job or a partner or failure
If you keep bringing it up and you keep it around
Where you were when that happened you'll stay there
You gotta learn to let go
You gotta grasp all your goals and hold them by the throat
You gotta go take control cuz it ain't gonna come on its own
Leave your doubts all at home
You gotta learn what it means to be real
You gotta learn what it means to have freedom
You gotta learn love is not what you feel
It's that battle to stay when you feel like just leaving
Love doesn't stop till it's over
Love doesn't stop even after the death
Love is committed through thick and thin passion unlimited
Life spent in love is a life that's well spent so I did...

[Hook]
Do I know myself tho? Is this really me?
I'm scrolling down my timeline. I don't like what I see

You can tell Satan, He ain't gettin me
I'm make a difference, as long as life remains
The time for excuses is over, it's time to change
