Level by Matic Mouth Lyrics
Stood on the roadside dreaming
Looking back on a place, my days spent scheming
Way before I knew or had a clue what I was seeking
Before I knew where the road were leading
I spent the whole time bleeding, plus
The sweat and tears it was leaking, just
Running from the devil and the demons
'Til I was up on level and it was even
I remember going work every day, then
Straight to the studio, they weren't any play, I was
Tryna find all of the ways, words can behave, I was
Filling them pads, I was always turning the page
Way before I said a word on a stage, I was
Putting in time just like bird in a cage, I was
Putting in work like the first of the slaves, the only
Aim was so you heard of my name
Remember being stood on the curb in the rain
Up to no good on my worsest behavior
Type of things would leave a person amazed
For certain, had to start diverting my ways
Showed the other cheek, was turning my face
Don't come trouble me, I'm turning away
And still I learn every day, how
To make a change, in turn, elevate
Stood on the roadside dreaming
Looking back on a place, my days spent scheming
Way before I knew or had a clue what I was seeking
Before I knew where the road were leading
I spent the whole time bleeding, plus
The sweat and tears it was leaking, just
Running from the devil and the demons
'Til I was up on level and it was even
I remember when days were real slow
I had nowhere to go, would always feel low
Would always feel mad, always try to push blame
Them days were real sad, always played out the same
So many along the way I caused pain
Here's my apology, sorry it's so late, in all
Honesty, I know it probably won't play, but I
Hope one day we get to conversate, so
I can explain, not just justifying none of the shit
But that guy you knew then, now I'm nothing to him
There was too many emotions and I bottled it in
Choking, he didn't know life was throttling him
I hope I'm forgiven for a lot of my sins
And if not, then still nothing's stopping the win
Move on, live good 'til it's a coffin I'm in
Them old ways I gotta drop in the bin
Stood on the roadside dreaming
Looking back on a place, my days spent scheming
Way before I knew or had a clue what I was seeking
Before I knew where the road were leading
I spent the whole time bleeding, plus
The sweat and tears it was leaking, just
Running from the devil and the demons
'Til I was up on level and it was even
Looking back on a place, my days spent scheming
Way before I knew or had a clue what I was seeking
Before I knew where the road were leading
I spent the whole time bleeding, plus
The sweat and tears it was leaking, just
Running from the devil and the demons
'Til I was up on level and it was even
I remember going work every day, then
Straight to the studio, they weren't any play, I was
Tryna find all of the ways, words can behave, I was
Filling them pads, I was always turning the page
Way before I said a word on a stage, I was
Putting in time just like bird in a cage, I was
Putting in work like the first of the slaves, the only

Remember being stood on the curb in the rain
