Find My Way
Paperboys Lyrics

Yo, as I contemplate the size of the repercussions I realize though we try Most of us are livin' lives that'll lead to nothin' We just survive
The singer is reflecting on the consequences of their actions and they realize that despite trying, most people are just surviving without any real purpose in life.

And most of folks are bluffin' Fallin' deeper in discussion I'm despised with the reefer puffin' People are sufferin'
People often pretend to be something they're not and engage in useless discussions while the singer is disliked for smoking weed. Meanwhile, others are experiencing real suffering.

Left to never trust again As states bring in concussion Via muscle men are still We're fussin' over skin Or discussin' all the sin In the gym blood rushin' Crushin' on my kin Feel like God made it us against him, I can't win But if you want something from him He'll get a run for his money 'cause I ain't Ready to leave
People have been hurt and find it hard to trust others again, while those in power cause destruction through violence. Despite all this, people still argue over trivial things like skin color and sin, with a constant reminder of mortality in the gym. The singer feels like they're against God and cannot win, but they won't back down from a fight.

Guess I'll never be I just wanna breathe See whatever lays ahead of me, bring
The artist accepts that they may not attain their dreams, but they just want to live their life and see what the future holds.

Lost in This life I live in I can't seem to find my way Like a blind man searchin' in a familiar terrain and it's cold No light on my soul I'm sinkin' deeper in snow I just can't get disowned I gotta find my way
The artist feels lost in their life, unable to find a path forward, like a blind man searching in a familiar but cold environment. They feel like they're sinking and need to find their way out to avoid being isolated.

I got this notion I was heaven-sent And so I've woken my devotion and my seventh sense Hopin' I can open my benevolence I feel I'm copin' but it never ends
The singer believes they were destined for greatness, so they've awakened their spirituality and intuition and hope to help others. However, they still struggle emotionally despite their efforts.

And while I'm smokin' all the evidence Chokin' on irrelevance And broken elements That make me hard bein' Seein' this God's colosseum I'm a star, scream of freedom Let my bars greet 'em I know I owe 'em for my breathin' So I'm thinkin' if I slaughter all these demons We can call it even
The singer is using smoking as a coping mechanism and feels overwhelmed by trivial things. They feel like they're fighting in God's arena and they use their music to express their inner turmoil. They feel like they owe others for their existence and hope to defeat their personal demons to repay this debt.

And though my reasons fade Still belive I'm leavin' with some decent pay Freezin' in a breeze, leadin' peace a way We're under siege and we're easy prey And always lookin' for an easy way And no one's tryna seize the day (shit) What would Jesus say? Late smokin' roses Stay focused on the flows Writin' rows on the broken sofas 'Cause where we go no one's quotin' Moses But all this coke in our noses is just a hope for us composers 'cause
The artist acknowledges that their motivation is deteriorating, but they still hope to leave something positive behind. They feel like they're fighting against the odds and need to stay vigilant to maintain peace. People are too complacent and look for easy solutions. The artist questions what Jesus would say of this and continues to write and perform music despite their struggles.

I realize I ain't as hard as they come Watchin' my friends becomin' fatherless sons And toxicants become a part of my lungs I feel like boxin', but my heart is so numb I never parted my tongue Distant facade, I'm system started at one
The artist realizes they're not as tough as they appear as they watch their friends become fatherless and struggle with addiction. They feel like they want to fight back but are emotionally numb. They've hidden their true feelings and are products of a flawed system.

And when I'm done I can leave in peace Knowin' that my son's got to feel at ease Freedom and the funds that they really need 'Cause in these jumps yo I'm free to breathe It's easy to see 'cause that's the blessin' that comes with bein' me
The artist hopes to leave a legacy that helps their son feel secure and empowered. They value freedom and hope their music can provide an outlet for themselves and others. They recognize the value of being true to oneself.

Must get a grip on things So they can see where we glow And make sense of it all 'Cause it don't know I need somebody there for me who cares for me when I fall
The singer needs to gain control over their life and inspire others to do the same. They want to demystify life's complexities and have someone to support them when they are vulnerable.
