Oh, I got these things up inside my head They echo, All this time wasted, keeps my mind racin' I can hear the music playin' in my head It echoes, All the sound's pacin' Keeps my mind chasin' echoes Chasin' echoes Makin' my way to an elevated state of mind Where if I ain't writing lyrics, I'm just wastin' time I understand that all my dreams won't come easily So workin' round the clock is The one and only thing that's pleasin' me And all this food on my plate is causing me to stress I'm wonderin' if the path I chose is too complex So what comes next? People tellin' me to let go But I just can't stop the echo Another day, another dollar's just what I've been told But when you livin' like me, the money's rollin' slow And making music it's supportin' me for right now But sooner or later I'm gonna have to make my mama proud Constantly checking on the fan page and feedback And studyin' the industry with labels and contracts I'm driven solely off the signs of potential Hope it's coming quick Man it's drivin' me mental Oh, I got these things up inside my head They echo, All this time wasted, keeps my mind racin' I can hear the music playin' in my head It echoes, All the sound's pacin' Keeps my mind chasin' echoes Chasin' echoes Got my hands holding up my head I'm pushing my temples Just stressin' as I lay in my bed But I know it ain't over now, gotta keep it flowing now Working for my goals even if they tell me "slow it down" Everybody's giving up on the music scene We're just here to bring some real style to the mainstream It's gotta turn around real fast, or else I'm losin' hope Computers killed the talent and with that I don't think that I can cope I grew up listening to reggae, only good vibes Now, I'm inspired by Beastie Boys and Jurassic 5 Anything that get's my brain movin' I jot it down Listen, I just keep mixing up these delicious sounds I say it's time to for some new music to come hit your ears Deliverin' the message through the mic I hope it's comin' clear Instead of throwin' in the towel and erasin' Now i realize that I gotta keep on chasin' Oh I got, oh I got, oh I got to keep on chasin' Oh I got, oh I got, oh I got to keep on chasin' Oh I got, oh I got, oh I got to keep on chasin' I got, oh I got, oooh Oh, I got these things up inside my head They echo, All this time wasted, keeps my mind racin' I can hear the music playin' in my head It echoes All the sound's pacin' Keeps my mind chasin' echoes Chasin' echoes
