Nowhere Fast

You think I ain't? Just go ahead and watch me
I'm swearin' off the weed and alcohol
Yo, what your mission is fella?
And there isn't any way in which I can make you believe
Tomorrow? Tomorrow
(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast)
I am the mission, the position of this instance uh

I'll have the answers you can all confide in me

It's easy, but difficult that's time alone squeeze me
To kick the door in to live for your ambitions, what?
I want you back I want you back when you was here I slept on
Stick a toe in the water
So seize me, I'm here to serve you if you serve me back

I'm only saying this to show how all around

I check and try to recollect how I just let you die
Tell me, do you know your calling?
I'm startin' off my day with yoga stretches
We had some really good discussions back then, didn't we?
Oh how the seconds fly left without a second try
Sorta scary looking elder woman showed up outta nowhere
Out of my oasis
She stared into my eyes and said
Of yesterday
I am not complacent
I am not complacent

It is an honor, don't become a mental prisoner
Today
All finished

Deceive me and now I'm hell inside these thoughts that link me
And I'm just goin' nowhere fast
I am not complacent
I'm only what you make me hope I'm what you pray I am
I'm just today, I'm just the way I am
'Cause this is only the beginning"
I am not complacent
Today
Don't falter, go on and fall in
I just fly away here
And you don't know how much I appreciate your pardon
But yesterday memories are priceless and I'm really glad you left 'em
I keep on diggin' deep tryin' to find that kid in me
I'm February, April, March and even May I am
I waited hours for you, guess that all was just a lie
I don't try to stay here
Today I am, I'm never really far away I am

Quick as you stepped inside soon enough you said goodbye

An inkling, a hint, I'm moving faster than your blinking
I won't be affected by doubts at all
Today

You were conceived and walk the earth to
It's really gonna be on tomorrow
I'm buildin' to the fullest every minute
I just fly away here
Out of my oasis
Don't even trip, just give me one more day
What I appreciate a little more now as a blessing
Instead I'm going nowhere fast
It's just at times I dwell and dwell and then I have to catch up
Now I'm complaining and regretting
"Sure as I breathe
You can move on out to elevate your existence up
The sky's the limit, watch I'm 'bout to ball
French Quarter on the bus bench an arbitrary corner
Peace out! I'm gone and won't be back! I heard your echo cry
Just listen to the now and keep your mind from driftin' off
I don't try to stay here

About yesterday
You play I am out in the future yes today I am
I don't try to stay here
Nigga rolled in and walk it
Man or beast sleep away their gift of time
I'm spendin' every single dollar wisely
Out of my oasis
Nothin' the day could bring that will surprise me
I just fly away here

Ain't even started yet, I'm at the finish line
New opportunity to get the love you're wishin' for
Out of my oasis
Oh what, you hatin'? What, you think I'm playin'?
Spit that heat, purifying I believe
I just fly away here
Will probably not want to believe what I'm going to tell you

I am not complacent
And hope that you will really believe me
Of yesterday girl, your really gone I guess that's how it just should be
I don't try to stay here
I just fly away here
(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast)
Do it just how you talk it

Tomorrow? Tomorrow
And now I wallow in these severed ties
I'm 'bout to master self to study lessons
I am ever single day I am
From beaming your feet when your all your actions turn to banking
Out of my oasis
I don't try to stay here
So are you ready for your cleansin'?
I'm 'bout to change the way I'm livin' homey
Of yesterday
I just fly away here
I'm eatin' vegan, no ham or baloney
I'm through talkin' the talk, I'm 'bout to live it
To now I'm back in time it ceased to march it just kept on
Out of my oasis
You better stalk me like the hunter does the prey I am
There we are
And all I got is memories
I just fly away here

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast)
I'm countin' hours, minutes even seconds

To flesh the soul it's bound to I was truly made to be free
Today's a mystery you took pieces I miss of me
I am not complacent

I'm writin' songs that's bumpin' like the Isleys
And never know the beauty of a good life below
Out of my oasis
Watch out blazing arrow
I just fly away here
They're etched inside I take a ride when driftin' through the spectrum
Man I can't even sleep, I'll build my Heaven

Oh what, it's here? Oh, oh what, it's gone?
I don't try to stay here
You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast
Man I can't wait until it's here I'm sayin'
I had big plans for us today but now you're history
I'll use the lessons yesterday has taught me
I can only state the facts as they are

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast)
Out of my oasis
I am not complacent
I don't try to stay here
So treat to just a slice of heaven why you cheat me?
I'm everything your memory say I am
I caught this vision when I met a fortune teller in New Orleans
I am not complacent
I don't try to stay here
Hey yesterday, you were supposed to meet me now I got to testify
Befriended me but now we don't speak like we're enemies
I am today, I'm all that ever was and ever is and uh
