David Walker - Ghost Town in a Snowglobe (feat. Cabes) Lyrics

I'm happy doing me and I'm happy with the man I am
I thank the lord above cause he's got me in his plans
And now the rivers flowing and we blowing by the dam
And everyone who doubted me is reaching out their hands

Yeah, and your two cents ain't nothing but a nuisance
Save a blueprint, I've got the map to do this
Who this? What they asking? Save the fake compassion
I can't fix the shit you lacking, I express the things I'm asking, digging deep inside this rapping

Lost in dark hours, I let my soul grow
Searching for a home inside these poems, walking in the shadows, I go home
A long road, back to paradise I see a low glow
From the stars inside the sky, a ghost town in a snow globe

Time goes by and I'm still the same me
I've been lost in the things that I just can't be
And time goes on and I can't slow down
Yeah, I'm looking for some life in this old ghost town

Scrolling through my phone, trying to lose myself in repetition
Say my hands are on the helm but lost at sea, I'm drifting
Reject the man I am in favor of the one I hate
Cause he's trying to knock my reason, feel my will about to break

Check the tape, I remember being proud of who I am
Now I look into a mirror, see a failure I can't stand
Break the glass to flee, but it digs itself into my hands
See my blood stained in the snow, can't believe how long I ran

Failed to address, the progress, of just how far I've come
My reflection whispers to me, convince me I'm with none
My friends tell me, get healthy, but my mind's going numb
My biggest op is in the mirror, to my head he holds a gun

I know I asked to live, but I kinda wish he pulled the trigger
Know I'm meant for more, but my eyes can't see the bigger picture
In the museum of my peers, see their lives all in a row
But I look at mine and see a valley laden snow

Time goes by and I'm still the same me
I've been lost in the things that I just can't be
And time goes on and I can't slow down
Yeah, I'm looking for some life in this old ghost town

Once upon a time, man, I was just a kid
Looking in the mirror, scheming ways to make it big
With this life and a dream, I was trying to make it fit
Betting on myself, sleepless nights in the crib

I take it back, me and CJ rapping while they napping
Fantasizing, being on a stage while they all clapping
Endless nights in the studio, breaking and snapping
Manifesting all we ever wanted, man, we need it to happen

And now I look back, I smile, thinking about the happy times
Me and my homie, ain't concerned about nothing but some rhymes
This was all I ever wanted, man, I lived for those nights
But now those days are dead, we live in two separate lives

But that's okay, we both dreamers, peep the track if you ain't heard it
We talked about it years ago, but now we live on verbiage
On a stage in front of y'all with sight of what we learned
And I don't want this life to ever change
And I'm thankful we're still working

Time goes by and I'm still the same me
I've been lost in the things that I just can't be
And time goes on and I can't slow down
Yeah, I'm looking for some life in this old ghost town
