[Verse]
Mind crowded like rush hour on the freeway,
Talents bottled up like champagne on delay,
Feeling washed up, but I ain't no castaway,
Dreams on hold, serving others every day.
[Verse 2]
Got these rhymes collecting dust on the shelf,
Put myself last, always someone else to help,
Grind for survival, never been about wealth,
Pain in my chest, cards I was dealt.
[Chorus]
Sacrifices made, future postponed,
Heart heavy, carried others on my own,
Chain to the grind, dreams overthrown,
Silent ghost fighting through the unknown.
[Verse 3]
Opportunity knocks, but I’m never home,
Busy paving roads for everyone else’s throne,
Planting seeds, but none of 'em my own,
Lost track of time, now fully grown.
[Verse 4]
Staying humble while my soul depletes,
Tired of playing selfless, heart skips beats,
Path winding like the city's maze of streets,
Yearning for my day, feeding off life's repeats.
[Chorus]
Sacrifices made, future postponed,
Heart heavy, carried others on my own,
Chain to the grind, dreams overthrown,
Silent ghost fighting through the unknown.
