Sanctuary
J.ガイルズ・バンド Lyrics

Roll a spliff and ease my mind
Prepare and smoke a marijuana joint to relax and calm my thoughts

I'm reaching up to the sky
I'm striving for greater heights and aspirations

Take a breath an easy the stress
Take a deep breath and release the tension and pressure

Thats been brewing up in my mind
That has been building up and causing mental strain

Life is crazy moving places
Life is unpredictable and constantly changing

That id never thought id go
To places I never imagined I would end up

I'm at peace when i'm alone and on the road
I find contentment and tranquility when I'm by myself and traveling

I got people banging my line
I have people constantly contacting me

Like where the hell have you been?
Asking where I have been absent or unavailable

Thats MIA
That's missing in action

I'm grinding for a new life and large estate
I'm working hard to achieve a better life and accumulate wealth

But for me this shit is more then just a paper chase
But for me, this pursuit is more meaningful than just chasing money

I'm tryna change some lives and open minds along the way
I'm trying to positively impact lives and expand people's perspectives as I progress

Wait
Wait a moment

I can tell ya whats good with yours
I can inform you about what is going well in your life

Can’t seem to figure out mine
I can't seem to understand or determine my own life situation

I got wings I’ve learned spread
I have developed the ability to soar or achieve great things

But it scares me that I can fly
But it terrifies me to realize my potential and seize opportunities

Ive never been scared of heights
I have never felt fear or hesitance when in high places or situations

But shit highs like this
But situations or experiences like this, being at the top, are overwhelming

If fall then im'ma die
If I fail or lose this position, it will feel like a substantial loss

And then its over
And then everything comes to an end

Would it be a blessing
Would it be a fortunate outcome

Cause honestly, i'm kinda sick
Because honestly, I am tired and fed up

Of dodging shit, and dodging people
Of avoiding problems and evading certain individuals

Can’t be around ya if our goals ain't equal
I cannot spend time with or associate myself with people whose objectives and aspirations don't align with mine

I got future worth protecting
I have a future that holds significance and deserves safeguarding

Ive done put in to much time
I have invested too much time and effort

Won’t give mine if your intention ain't investing
I won't share my resources or invest in someone who does not have genuine intentions

Im

Makin' wage so I can pay for loans
Earning money to repay debts

From education
From the costs associated with acquiring knowledge and skills

Making wage so I can for dope
Earning money to support my recreational drug use

That's medication
That serves as a form of self-medication or stress relief

Make a wave so I can take it home
Create a significant impact or success that I can proudly bring back to my personal life

That's my vacation
That's my form of escape or enjoyment

Ive been patient waiting for blow
I have been patient, anticipating a breakthrough or success

I saw this thing that said,
I encountered something that conveyed

Your mind is like a pot of water
Your mind can be compared to a pot filled with water

Every thought is a pebble that gets dropped in and creates a splash
Every thought has an impact and creates a ripple effect

But I feel like mine is the ocean and there's a meteor shower
But I feel like my mind is vast and there are constant overwhelming events or challenges

Throwing boulders in that bitch
Causing significant disruptions or disturbances

Pressure weighing on me, Its deadly kinda
Feeling immense pressure, which is potentially harmful or dangerous

The standards that I hold are barely human
The expectations I set for myself are incredibly high and almost impossible to meet

I can’t judge shit fairly
I am unable to objectively assess or evaluate anything

Saw the best version of myself, and now I can’t settle for less
I have witnessed the ideal version of myself, and now I refuse to accept anything inferior

The kind of things that keep a man from gettin' rest
The thoughts or ambitions that prevent a person from finding peace or contentment

Tryna figure out who me is
Attempting to discover and understand my own identity

The voice that talkin' in my head
The internal voice or thoughts that constantly occupy my mind

Im tryna do right
I am striving to make morally correct decisions

But keep on making lefts
But often find myself making wrong or misguided choices

Decisions in my best interest
Decisions that prioritize my own well-being and advancement

Make every one else upset
But cause dissatisfaction or disappointment in others

But im'ma die with me
But ultimately, I will face death alone

And after that I live with my regrets
And after death, I will have to face the consequences of my choices

Cant have no fuckin regrets
I cannot afford to have any regrets

I'm not Sorry if I cut you off
I have no remorse if I choose to end our connection or relationship

I'm sorry if I let you down
I apologize if I have disappointed or failed you

But I got shit to do
But I have important things to attend to

And music is damn near the only that makes me happy at this point
And music is almost the only thing that brings me joy and contentment at this stage

so

No hard feelings its not personal
No ill will or resentment, it's not a personal attack

Ive just got things i'm tryna achieve
I simply have goals and ambitions I am working towards

That's it
That's all there is to it
