Chasin' Echoes Lyrics

Oh, I got these things up inside my head, they echo
All this time wasted, keeps my mind racin'
I can hear the music playin' in my head, it echoes
All the sounds pacin' keeps my mind chasin' echoes
Chasin' echoes
Uh, makin' my way to an elevated state of mind
Where if I ain't writin' lyrics I'm just wastin' time
I understand that all my dreams won't come easily
So workin' 'round the clock's the one and only thing pleasin' me
And all this food on my plate is causin' me to stress
I'm wonderin' if the path I chose is too complex
So what comes next, people tellin' me to let go
But I just can't stop the echo (echo echo echo --)
Another day another dollar's just what I've been told
But when you're livin' like me the money's rollin' slow
And makin' music is supportin' me for right now

But sooner or later I'm gonna have to make my momma proud
Constantly checkin' on the fan page and feedback
And studying the industry with labels and contracts
I'm driven solely off the signs of potential
Hope it's comin' quick man, it's drivin' me mental
Oh, I got these things up inside my head, they echo
All this time wasted keeps my mind racin'
I can hear the music playin' in my head, it echoes
All the sounds pacin' keep my mind chasin' echoes
Chasin' echoes
Got my hands holdin' up my head
I'm pushin' my temples distressin' as I lay in my bed
But I know that it ain't over now gotta keep it flowin' now
Workin' for my goals even if they tell me to slow it down
Everybody's givin' up on the music scene
We're just here to bring some real style to the mainstream
It's gotta turn around fast or else I'm losin' hope
Computer killed the talent and with that I don't think I can cope
I grew up listenin' to reggae only good vibes
Now I'm inspired by Beastie Boys and Jurassic 5
Anything that keeps my brain movin' I jot it down
Listen I just keep mixin up these delicious sounds
I say it's time for some new music to come hit your ears
Delverin' the message through the mic hope it's comin' clear
Instead of throwin' in the towel, end the racin'
Now I realize I gotta keep on chasin'
Oh I got, oh I got, oh I got to keep on chasin'
I got, oh, I got I (I got to keep on chasin') keep on chasin'
I got, oh I (I got to keep on chasin') got oh I got to keep on chasin'
I got, oh I (I got to keep on chasin') got
Oh
Oh, I got these things up inside my head, they echo
All this time wasted keeps my mind racin'
I can hear the music playin' in my head, it echoes
All the sounds pacin' keep my mind chasin' echoes
Chasin' echoes
