Nostalgia for the Now

[Intro: Quadeca]

Yeah

[Verse 1: Quadeca]

You know that I haven't started either

Got a fork in two directions, but I ain't follow neither

It's always been rainin', but recently, all the water's clearer

On the road to glory, the story for me has gotten nearer

But every day I've been writin' a page in this autobiography

Fifteen years old and I've built up a followin', look at the shit I'm already accomplishin'

But in the back of my mind, I swear that fear just keeps grabbin' my time

Seein' what's left of it when you ain't relevant, sorry you let it in, parked how you drive

Yeah

[Chorus: JP Bayliss]

And I do not want to live alone, I live alone

And if your home is where your heart is

And I don't know what I've started

And I really do not wanna go home

And now they're livin' like a king now, a king now

But I ain't started a thing now, a thing now

Everybody spread their wings out, and sing out, no, no

[Bridge: Quadeca]

Recently, I've been feeling my lyrics missin' meanin'

I'm tryna whitewash how much they stink, like I'm Listerine, and

Damn, I feelin' like I have missed the key, and

So, I guess that DJ Khaled is always skippin' me, but yeah

You know I'm tryna do what I can

But these ignorant idiots just can't understand

You know I'm tryna do what I can

But these ignorant idiots just can't understand

[Verse 2: Quadeca]

I got new crews and new friends, I got new views and a new lens

I'm a new dude, I'm the new Ben, got my YouTube with the new trends

But the way I'm growin' is so unorthodox

How could I be connectin' them if I have yet to sort the dots?

I'm sorta lost and very found at the same time

I pour the cost, know I'm very loud in the daytime

And very quiet at night, 'cause I seem to shine when I write

And I'm longin' to be a five-year old, chillin', flyin' a kite

And I admire the sight of somebody else workin' more than me

I been staying grounded, but the sky is movin' towards my feet

And fortunately, I'm on course, livin' morally

Grindin' to get what's rightfully mine, I'm headin' right for my dream

Uh, I guess that's all I need to know for now

They put me in the driver's seat, no way I'm slowin' down

They know me now but don't know my sound, it is so profound

But give me two years and I'll make it, let me show you how
