Lyrics The Present - Cam Meekins

The Present

I was too focused, I’m moving slowly, I forgot about that, hey
I was too focused, I’m moving forward, I forgot about that, yeah
Back in my grizzy feel like it’s 2010, I’m building a buzz
Just like my third drink, feel like I’m building a buzz
Feel like a building filling up emotions spilling this stuff
My it’s slam city, I’m still living it up
This for the kids that’s ditching classes, smoking weed next to the bathroom
stall
Dreaming 'bout the life we tryna live, I wanna have it all
My teachers, they don’t get me, so I dropped out
Negative energy, I don’t hear it man, that’s blocked out
Growing up calling, but you know I never boxed out, too lazy for that
Time ticking, better watch out
I was too focused, I’m moving forward, I forgot about the present
Sometimes you gotta meditate, this rapping shit is hectic
I’ma tryna cop a crib up in the mountain, never rent it
Just have it as my go-to if we get a new pandemic
Why these people always hating on their friends, what kinda love is that?
I want my fam to get it too just so the deck is stacked
See, when the hoes circle, balling, it’s a perfect trap
The love forever even if we never texting back
'Cause busy people do shit all the time, that’s a redundant fact
And spitting bars while smoking weed, that’s a redundant rap
But what I love outta my life is really simple that
I get to see the little things and write it in a rap
I was too focused, I’m moving forward, I forgot about the present
Just tryna live it up, man, I’m just tryna be a legend
Ain’t tryna work a job up in a nine-to-five stressing
Just tryna be with my fam, be independent
So focused on the goals that I forgot about the lessons
Just tryna live it up, man, I’m just tryna be a legend
Ain’t tryna work a job up in a nine-to-five stressing
Just tryna be with my fam, you get the message
