Music is life , life is Music
The music I listen to floods my ears
I’ve always felt strongly about it
Just some hums and a tune can bring me to tears
Even from an artist I don’t mess with
I can be moved emotionally within seconds
Cudi and Kanye will forever be my favorite
When it comes to hip-hop they’re legends
Like Ye says in “Erase Me” it’s something I dreamed of
Music so real that it rips into my soul
Cudi’s hums make me fly like a dove
Listening to “Day ‘N’ Nite” while lighting a bowl
Am I only the lonely stoner all along
I do seem to free my mind at night
Crazy how my life has its own song
I can only hope my future is as bright
The universe will lead me to where I need to go
Positive energy pushing me in the right direction
I leave it up to destiny so it’s out of my control
Looking for the right path, but never made a selection
Keeping my head high as my music blasts through my thoughts
All the stress dissipates as the melody takes over
Reminds me of how I won over my depression when we fought
It wasn’t easy, I couldn’t do it sober
But I still prevailed in the end
The voices of my idols supporting my journey
I had my favorites on repeat, again and again
808s & Heartbreaks will always be a classic
I felt Kanye’s tears and his emotions
I cried over that album, I’m not even being dramatic
That was real music, unlike the fakes, he wasn’t boasting
“The Man On the Moon II” really helped me through it
In my mind, this album painted its own movie
I almost took my life, yeah I almost blew it
A few of these years were rough, I was always gloomy
I never thought it’d end, so I wanted it finished
One day I was listening really well
All of my self hate suddenly diminished
I remember those days, yeah they were hell
But ever since that one I’ve been happy
I’m blessed with more than I ever realized
I have no reason to sit around all sappy
Don’t beat yourself up, it’s not advised
Kanye and Cudi helped keep my head up
I hope my words can someday do that too
Cause I’m tired of a depressed youth, I’m fed up
Maybe my words can someday help you
