My tomorrow
Coely Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you stuck in the same old
switch rain to eternal sun
stop wishing on a rainbow
can't run away, no, you never back down
can't run away, no, you never back down
Back when I was a kid, I was a little bit different
No fairytale kinda living
we've all got a wish list, we don't all get presents for christmas
But now, i'm on a mission to shine
my mom by my side and she's one of a kind
that's why I feel so alive in many ways
but if i'd fall from grace i hope heaven waits
keep the faith and stay focussed
but sometimes I'm lost in the moment
feeling like a kid having to deal with all these emotions
now you wanna press rewind i fast forward
Go, to new beginnings
started from the bottom now I'm here winning
ain't near finished, one ticket for the ride of your life
Change your tomorrow leave the past behind and just fly
Tell me what you're waiting for
you stuck in the same old
switch rain to eternal sun
stop wishing on a rainbow
can't run away, no, you never back down
can't run away, no, you never back down
There is only one way to go, Oh, no second guesses
the lack of direction, keeps my head stressing
Imma need a helping hand with these questions
Nerves bout to pop, pop pop pop under pressure
wrong habits, hard to break patterns
grew up in poverty with just one of my parents
No money to spare, the money wasn't there
try to understand, now i wanna be bigger than life
stop waisting time
no more days in my room watching time fly by
life on the line, ready for whatever
My comfort zone is where the magic happens
Raise the bar, no limits
can't slow down till you finish
one shot one ticket for the ride of your life
change your tomorrow leave your past behind, and just fly
Tell me what you're waiting for
you stuck in the same old
switch rain to eternal sun
stop wishing on a rainbow
can't run away, no, you never back down
can't run away, no, you never back down
Tell me what you're waiting for
you stuck in the same old
switch rain to eternal sun
stop wishing on a rainbow
can't run away, no, you never back down
can't run away, no, you never back down
And just fly
Stop wishing on the rainbow
And just fly
Stop wishing on the rainbow
Tell me what you're waiting for oh oh oh
Tell me what you're waiting for oh oh
Tell me what you're waiting for oh oh oh
Tell me what you're waiting for oh oh

Greetings and best wishes for this woman. She's amazing. Finally, after hearing Nicky Minaj's shit on the radio I found a real female rapper. There's still hope.
