The Current
L Marshall Lyrics

I'll never let my reason d'être fade away to ashes
I will never let my purpose in life disappear completely

I'd have never guessed that stubbornness would become my greatest asset
I didn't imagine that my stubbornness would become my biggest strength

Spitting acid in a world of plastic I was only flesh n bone n madness
In a world where everything is fake, I was vulnerable and emotional

Dust off my jacket I need to wake up from this I
I need to snap out of this situation and come to my senses

I'm tired of chasing the current
I am exhausted from trying to keep up with everything

I'm flying around for discussions in circles above ‘em It's all in a day's
I am having the same conversations over and over again and it's becoming routine

I call her to say I'm coming to stay abeg-i wait for me o
I ask her to wait for me before I arrive at her place

I don't see why I'm rushing to change
I don't understand why I am in such a hurry to make things different

You know sometimes we meet our fates on the roads we take to avoid ‘em.
We often bump into our destiny while trying to avoid it

I know its hard but from here I'm tryin'a go clear into the stratosphere.
It's difficult, but I am determined to reach new heights

I guess I'm just tired of chasing the current
I am simply exhausted from trying to keep up with everything

I'm tired of chasing the current.
I am really fatigued from trying to keep up with all the changing trends

I guess we're just tired of chasing the current
We seem to be exhausted from following the crowd

follow me over the edge
Take a leap of faith with me

What do they know of despair?
They don't know how it feels to be hopeless

Times that I think on my father
Sometimes I recall my father and his advice

Wonder what he would've said, if he could've lived to see me try it n fail it n try it again
I wonder what my dad would've told me if he was alive to see me try and fail multiple times and keep on trying

The pressure the pressure
The stress is overwhelming

Go harder go faster be smarter be clever do better do better
Push yourself to work harder, faster, and smarter to do better

Feeling light as a feather tho
I feel free and unburdened

I'm just watching the weather blow
I am simply observing the natural events around me

More eccentric than ever
I am more unconventional than ever before

I'm high on my nebuchadnezzar n they couldn't see us at all with a telescope
I am very high up and invisible to others

Its whatever whatever tho
It doesn't matter, it's all good

I've heard them say that there's nothing new under the sky
I have heard the saying that everything has been done before

Homie you bought that line, you bought that line
My friend, don't fall for that idea

Know we all have to crawl ‘till we fly, but that's alright
We all start small before we can reach great heights

I been patiently waiting to blow - oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!;
I have been waiting for a long time to make it big

I said because we are tired of chasing the current
I am repeating that we are tired of keeping up with everything
