Fifth Gear
(Verse 1)
Yo, senior year hit me like a freight train,
Books piled up, man, I’m feelin’ the strain,
Grades drop fast, like they fallin’ from the sky,
In English class, I’m lost, man, just tryin’ to get by.
Essays stackin’ up, feelin’ trapped in a maze,
Words twistin’ in my head, it’s a mental blaze,
Teacher givin’ me that look, like I’m wastin’ my time,
Stressin’ every second, can’t catch a rhyme.
(Chorus)
Gotta kick it into fifth gear, can’t let it slide,
Life’s on my back like a jet pack, gotta ride,
Business plans tangled, like a web in the dark,
But I’m risin’ up strong, man, ready to spark.
(Verse 2)
Countdown’s tight, every day feels like a grind,
Projects stackin’ high, got me losin’ my mind,
Group work’s a mess, can’t trust ‘em at all,
Feelin’ like a ghost, man, just tryin’ not to fall.
Dreams of that diploma keep me up at night,
Chaos all around, but I’m ready to fight,
Tryin’ to find my way, but it’s hard to be bold,
Gotta break free, watch my future unfold.
(Chorus)
Gotta kick it into fifth gear, can’t let it slide,
Life’s on my back like a jet pack, gotta ride,
Business plans tangled, like a web in the dark,
But I’m risin’ up strong, man, ready to spark.
(Bridge)
Yeah, I’m hustlin’ hard, every moment’s a test,
Every setback’s a lesson, gotta give it my best,
Got dreams bigger than these walls can contain,
Chasin’ ‘em down, it’s my time to gain.
Late nights under stars, scribblin’ bars that ignite,
With each beat of my heart, I’m ready for the fight,
Climb this mountain high, feel the weight on my chest,
But I’m pushin’ through hard, man, I won’t let it rest.
(Verse 3)
Fifth gear’s engaged, I’m revvin’ it loud,
Got my sights set high, can’t let ‘em down,
Ready to blow, I’m fueled by desire,
Here’s to the struggle, the hustle, and fire.
In this race for my dreams, I’m pickin’ up speed,
Gonna break down these walls, I’m plantin’ my seed,
So watch me rise up, takin’ on the fight,
In this journey of life, I’m chasin’ the light.
