Moving On
Christon Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know where I'm going or how I got here
But I'm moving on
(Just move on)
Excuses that I'm human
And I've been doing this for so long
How can I move on?
(Just move on)
Let's move
Uh, can ignore these bars anymore
Uh uh ain't gonna happen
Uh uh I've been the Charlie Chaplin of rapping
Uh uh keyword Chaplin cause I locked up Charlie
Ain't no silent film
Time to open the caption
The fight's within'
And I'm in an alley with matchboxes
Me and my shadow were slap-boxing
Until I disregarded my God and we had problems
Truth is that I
Don't know where I'm going or how I got here
But I'm moving on
(Just move on)
Excuses that I'm human
And I've been doing this for so long
How can I move on?
(Just move on)
Let me give you a vision I was a boy
Looking up to my dad, he Mister Acularoy
Taking care of the family
He was always employed
He's in love with Leann
She was always his joy
I quit shooting, afraid to miss
I still hear the tune
Of praying lips since 86'
Developed a good shot with bad form
Cause' I ignored him and acted foreign
I fast forward, the whole time
I'm looking back for him
Truth is that I
Don't know where I'm going or how I got here
But I'm moving on
(Just move on)
Excuses that I'm human
And I've been doing this for so long
How can I move on?
(Just move on)
Well it's easier said than done
It's true
All of these options I don't really have a clue
I'm feeling overwhelmed, out of place, confused
All of this thinking and really I just need to move
Truth is that I
Don't know where I'm going or how I got here
But I'm moving on
(Just move on)
Excuses that I'm human
And I've been doing this for so long
How can I move on?
(Just move on)
In "Moving On," Christon Gray confesses his uncertainty and confusion about where his life is headed, and how he's grappling with it. He admits that he's been "doing this" (life) for so long, yet he doesn't know where he's going, let alone how he got there. But he's decided to move forward despite how lost and overwhelmed he may feel. He acknowledges the human tendency to make excuses and rationalize our struggles and failures, but in this song, he's defiantly refuting that instinct so he can keep pressing forward towards his goals.

I recognize that I've been hiding behind a false persona
Ain't no silent film
My life can't be resolved without taking action
Time to open the caption
It's time to reveal the true story and address the situation
The fight's within'
The struggle is internal
And I'm in an alley with matchboxes
I'm in a dangerous situation where a small spark could cause trouble
Me and my shadow were slap-boxing
I've been fighting with myself
Until I disregarded my God and we had problems
I distanced myself from my faith and experienced difficulties because of it
Let me give you a vision I was a boy
Allow me to share a memory from my past
Looking up to my dad, he Mister Acularoy
I admired my father greatly
Taking care of the family
He was responsible for providing for our household
He's in love with Leann
He had a deep connection with my mother
She was always his joy
She brought great happiness to his life
I quit shooting, afraid to miss
I stopped trying to achieve in fear of failing
I still hear the tune
I'm reminded of the past
Of praying lips since 86'
I recall the prayers of someone from years ago
Developed a good shot with bad form
I became skilled but without proper technique
Cause' I ignored him and acted foreign
Because I rejected my faith and acted in my own interests
I fast forward, the whole time
I kept looking to the future without considering the present
I'm looking back for him
I realize now that I should have turned to God all along
Well it's easier said than done
It's simpler to make a statement than to take action
It's true
That statement is accurate
All of these options I don't really have a clue
I'm overwhelmed by the opportunities in front of me
I'm feeling overwhelmed, out of place, confused
I'm experiencing negative emotions
All of this thinking and really I just need to move
I've been overanalyzing when what I need to do is take action
