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
