When you spend your time wisely you got a lot to show for it/
I should've read more, I would've known more shit/
A lot of truths I've been ignoring/
I paid the price twice I can't afford it/
Regret's a liability, I'm getting assets in order/
Options I'm exploring/
While creating borders the future lookin gorgeous/
I refuse to relive horrors/
Self love is good karma/
Peace in solitude/
Ion hang with a lot of you, it's hard to do/
Misery loves company, I know it's hard for you/
But you a fool thinkin we cool cuz we went to school, bro you broke the rules/
I had a lot of hope for you, my heart was open too/
Even when I was a broken dude/
I was supposed to address you it's overdue/
When we spoke it was as if you didn't have a clue/
As far as what it was, that's over that's through/
I could've handled things better that's true/
If it's on me it's on me, the rest that's you/
Whatchu wanna do..
Whatchu wanna do..
[Chorus:]- Mixed emotions elixirs n potions/
Bottled thoughts words never spoken/
I sat with it I let it soak in/
It's kinda awkward when you talk/
Cuz you never focused/
All the time I was lost but you never noticed/
I stuck to the motive keep goin/
Keep growin' keep glowin' yo/
Keep growin' keep glowin' yo/
keep growin' keep glowin'.. (Repeat)
