Refreshed - Alex Taimanao (Original)

Hey guys! I know its been too long since I've posted a video. Thought I would give you guys a little look into some of the music I've been working on and songs I have been writing. I hope this one speaks for itself.
"Refreshed"
I was sippin on some Gatorade
Soon with my own flavor made
Just like Tiger, TaylorMade
Cept this taste would never fade,
I'd be here to stay.
Runnin with some Maverick plays
Winning with my Ace of spades
Hydrated now, could go for days.
I'm refreshed.
Hook:
Was living life with my head in clouds,
So high, they couldn't see me now.
I brought myself down, made myself drown.
Choked up. Woke up. Seeing clearly now.
(repeat)

Thought I deserved, more than I had.
Thought my spot was reserved, wanted it real bad.
Got ahead myself, saw Grammy's on my shelf,
Thought I had all the cards before the hand was even dealt.
Pictured painting my picture, had it pre-illustrated
Up amongst the stars, I thought I was affiliated.
Tried to be quick, and climb to the top,
But I forgot, how far i would fall if I dropped.
And I got stuck. Half way up, with no way down.
Couldn't scream for help. Couldn't make a sound.
Couldn't catch my breath. No, I had nothing left.
I admit I wasn't ready, and I had to get refreshed.
Hook:
Was living life with my head in clouds,
So high, they couldn't see me now.
I brought myself down, made myself drown.
Choked up. Woke up. Seeing clearly now.

See I was hasty,
that dream was tasty,
got drunk off a thought, coulda called me wasted.
I lost my place and, was losing face man,
locked my conscience up in a basement.
Quickly learned, that I had to earn
Every single dime, every single word, every single line, every single rhyme, every single time.
That people have to pay the price, for every single crime.
And that you gotta work. Until it hurts,
And that the ethic of your work defines what you're worth.
And what you're worth, is worth more than this cash.
So when its all said and done, we'll see who's standing last.
Now I'm humbled
by what it took for me stumble,
face first into the floor, I made it crumble.
Beneath my feet, yeah I was falling.
Like I forgot how to walk, so I started crawling
Had to remember that I once sank, before I swam.
Must first be a boy then become a man.
So slow down, even if you're feeling this.
Cuz in life no, you can't rush experience.

So high, they couldn't see me now.
I brought myself down, made myself drown.
