Written in a Day
History is all of time
History is all of time
But it won’t remember you,
No it won’t remember you! (2x)
You’re running outta time right now
Feels like you’re dying right now
But I swear to you, you are wrong
Yeah I swear, you’re so strong
History wasn’t written in a day
It culminates in years, and years, and years
Your fears appear and cheer
But one thing is quite clear
You want to leave a legacy? Shift your gears
Life is meant to last
Look forward to the future and let go of the past
Let go, let go, let-let-let go, let go of the past!
The story of the future isn’t quite written
History and the bloopers can’t be hidden
Your genes, your teens, your schemes
The greens, the scenes, extremes
You’re a product, a mixture composed in a laboratory
It’s chaotic but there’s no fixture imposed on ya story
Lived through divorce, grew up a force
Passed every course, got back on the horse
Lost a lotta friends, had some remorse
Always told you’d be something great
From a young age, understanding love and hate
Always wondering about your fate
Life’s not a story, it’s an experience
So take it by the horns, and be imperious
You’re running outta time right now
Feels like you’re dying right now
But I swear to you, you are wrong
Yeah I swear, you’re so strong
History wasn’t written in a day
It culminates in years, and years, and years
Your fears appear and cheer
But one thing is quite clear
You want to leave a legacy? Shift your gears
Life is meant to last
Look forward to the future and let go of the past
Let go, let go, let-let-let go, let go of the past!
Had a distrust of people
Saw the capability of evil
Tried to thread the needle
Found your true love
Fit your hand like a glove
Already struggled to fit your groove
Always juggled to prove
Got harder when you move
Tried to make a name for yourself
Started filling up your shelf
Building your sense of self
Bit you in the ass
Started smoking that grass
Had to grow up fast
Never wanting to be last
You’re running outta time right now
Feels like you’re dying right now
But I swear to you, you are wrong
Yeah I swear, you’re so strong
History wasn’t written in a day
It culminates in years, and years, and years
Your fears appear and cheer
But one thing is quite clear
You want to leave a legacy? Shift your gears
Life is meant to last
Look forward to the future and let go of the past
Let go, let go, let-let-let go, let go of the past!
Your ego made you go low
Crossed the line below
Sneaking and crawling
Thinking you balling
Thinking you’re the shit, thinking you’re hot
Thinking, “oh yeah, I’ll never fucking get caught!”
Your way of thinking was sociopathic
Your demons ain’t idiopathic
Your life isn’t democratic
You don’t have pleasure
The red in your leisure
Weighs heavier than treasure
Your actions are your own
Your wrongdoings and the pain you’ve caused is your burden to bear
But no one is incapable of change
No one is ever going to be able to take the past back
It’s written in stone, shit’s fact
So live for the moment
And plan for the future
