Space

From the album If I Wasn't Me by Scottychams

Chorus

I need space

I need time

I need peace

Inside my mind

I need room

I need air

I need truth

Somebody real there

I need space

I need time

I need a life

That still feels mine

I need space

I need time

Yeah

I just need space

I just need time

Verse 1

I need space

To save face

I'm in a state

On a stage

In a cage

Till you get replaced

Burning wages

That never made sense

But we at this daily

Not about payments

Or when the fame hits

This entire game is

Just a joke

Some poor living rich

Some rich living broke

I'm just living more

Taking time for growth

But it's time to go

Think I'm doomed to know

You'll never hear what I spoke

So I'm stoked to throw it all

At one line

This one time

Giving up space

In hopes to find

A life

Or a line of sight

A mind that's right

Cause I'm losing mine

I'm an honest knight

And honestly

These nights costing me sleep

But I believe in these things

Planting thoughts

To grow seedlings

And break ceilings

As I slip within

These sights unseen

Cause it's all a tease

Claustrophobic

Can't breathe

Can't speak

Feels like we're losing free speech

Everybody outraged

But got no details

So it's tearing at the seams

I guess I'm down to bleed

Just to see the scene

And then believe

I gotta leave

'Cause people only play for keeps

Chorus

I need space

I need time

I need peace

Inside my mind

I need room

I need air

I need truth

Somebody real there

I need space

I need time

I need a life

That still feels mine

I need space

I need time

Yeah

I just need space

I just need time

Verse 2

Some cheapskates

Worried 'bout

If he's real

Or she's fake

The mistake

Was made

In the time it would take

To comprehend

The lessons in the lines

I've lent

With these rhymes

I vent

Pretence

Repentance

With this message

Of doubt and love

Hope they get enough

Cause I mean damn

Everyone's been getting some

Sleeping too much

Now I ain't getting up

And all this shit

Starting to feel like a waste

Of time I can't take back

But then someone hits me up

About the playback

Says my shit was whack

Or literally changed their life

I guess I'm pretty young

So I'm down to try

Already fell on my sword

Like I'm here to die

I ain't got a backup

You always ask why

I was serious 'bout this

Whether I'm ready or not

I slip or trip up

Play this up to your gods

Cause this is more than a vision

There's no end to passion

There's only one in your mind

It's a state that you control

It's yours

It's mine

It's this

These rhymes

And lines

Intertwined

With meanings

Undefined

I just needed space

I just needed time

Chorus

I need space

I need time

I need peace

Inside my mind

I need room

I need air

I need truth

Somebody real there

I need space

I need time

I need a life

That still feels mine

I need space

I need time

Yeah

I just need space

I just need time

Outro

Yeah

I just needed space

I just needed time

I just needed space

I just needed time

Space

Time

Peace

Mind
