Focus/ADHD Lyrics

Focus is a concept I cannot get my mind off

The irony is visible, in physical I slide off

Drifting in my own world, it's something that I can't control

It's unsustainable, I know, and yet I've seemed to last a whole

Seventeen years and counting, I keep the head bouncing

Tapping out a drum pattern in the hope the sound fits

Mikky ain't about shit, I listen to the whispers

But they'd be just the same as me if they were put up in this

Mental state indifferent, regardless of emotional

Keep the music in the focal, pushing past the past total

Dragging one foot after the other on the lonely road

Hoping in the hopes I break records nearly no one's broke

I may have got the life I've asked for so far

But I'ma gross a quarter of a billion, so I'll go hard

But it's hard when I keep on losing focus

Forgetting where I'm at, losing track of this hope shit

I turn the lights off, to keep my mind on

Staying super hyperfocused till the time's gone

And I'ma grind on, until I slide off

Staying super hyperfocused is what I want

The grass ain't green though, I go beast mode

And then I just forget it happened and repeat, no, nah

The grass ain't green though, cause I know what's on the other side

Focus is a concept I cannot get my mind off

The irony is lost though, concentrate and write songs

Pen up in my right hand and maybe I can right wrongs

Or maybe I should leave them in the past and just ride on

Ride on like a lawnmower, sure it might be right to speak up but I'm talked over

So I'm back in the depths of my head again

It's been a few nights since I've left again

It's like I'm heavensent with devils on my shoulders

A burnt out recluse, setting levels till I'm older

Got a gentle cold shoulder, feeling colder as I'm older

Is the spark I had gone, or had I only ever stole one?

Roll up like the sleeping bags that get deep

Underneath my eyes when I don't get sleep

Cause it's hard when I keep on losing focus

Forgetting where I'm at, losing track of this hope shit

I turn the lights off, to keep my mind on

Staying super hyperfocused till the time's gone

And I'ma grind on, until I slide off

Staying super hyperfocused is what I want

The grass ain't green though, I go beast mode

And then I just forget it happened and repeat, no, nah

The grass ain't green though, cause I know what's on the other side

I turn the lights off, to keep my mind on

Staying super hyperfocused till the time's gone

And I'ma grind on, until I slide off

Staying super hyperfocused is what I want

The grass ain't green though, I go beast mode

And then I just forget it happened and repeat, no, nah

The grass ain't green though, cause I know what's on the other side

A lack of dopamine, fixing habits hopefully

Going off the rails in reality, it's sobering

Losing myself totally, it's something that I won't believe

Until I see effects, and I do, is there any hope for me?

I'm barely coping, see me breaking, flipping over the

Tables, defying expectations, I'll be the greatest

That's the path I'm headed to, you see it's written in my name, but

I can't seem to maintain focusing

Drink the bottle, don't believe

The shit they telling me, just let it be, and let it go so endlessly

It's hard to carve a legacy, in the dark, it's "pass the Hennessy"

A ten percent chance and I'ma go and take ten of these

Don't tell me do shit, I'll reply and say make me

I'm past the point of caring, so just go ahead and hate me

There's bigger fish to fry in my life that have changed me

But that's just how it works when you're stuck with ADHD

Mental disorders, I got a couple of them

Brain doesn't work the way it should, and I love it often

To be honest, I can hate it at times

But I'm learning I can live with it, I'm making it mine

I hate wasting my time feeling sorry for myself

Sick of being sick, sickened by the pictures on my shelf

Of past times when I maybe felt better

But the progress is unmatched and the world better

Be prepared for when I come back smarter and faster

I'm marking my targets, and then I blast them and pass them

I'm casting my line but I ain't going fishing, man

I've been in my bag like an Aussie Larry Fisherman

I was the best kept secret, and still I am

An old soul, still don't know how to Instagram

So go ahead and hate me

I'm focused on some other shit, stuck with ADHD
