Altering the future

The truth is I'm not positive everything's gonna be okay.

So I keep my head up and averted to avoid the drama and keep the extra shit away. Already have too much of that

Too much thinking and not enough time to act

I'm too young to have to break my back but I have to

Time to sink or swim.

If I sink, I take them down with me but they don't know how to swim completely yet and I can't take the risk of them drowning on account of my lack of effort

The weather can't be an excuse any longer

Now's my time to prove to myself that I have the hunger

I'm not getting any younger.
