Today is my day The day i stand up and take it back I take my doubt, worries, fears, and confusion Today is mine, seize or be seized So I'll jump to the music of mixtapes Scale the ladders of freedom on fire escapes Dress up like Batman, all black cape I'll drink my drinks, think my thinks I love God but never felt a presence Love girls but is their present presence a present Is college my only way, or even right Will i be a freeman or a jailbird Flying to heights, but only met bars Am I good enough for fame, or stars Black Lexus, Cadillac cars Today i raise my fist and fight Fight boredom Government Bullies Fears My share of tears because I care Fight myself, because i lose to subconscious needs Fight to do homework Then fight to not check my news feed Today I want to re-invent Change my name Grow a little Learn a talent Date the girl i never did Work harder at being me Today is a day Today is the day Today is my day The day is mine
