Shawn Mocey - In My Own Way Lyrics

Wasted too much time on the selfish interests
Know I've been wrong, man, it's something I live with
Here to do better than, God as my witness
Time is so precious, man, I'm counting the minutes
Let me on the mic; I'm gonna even the score
Every minute that we're given, man, I'll show you what they're given for
Start to understand it; see just what's been going on
Gotta get it right now, 'cause it's all been goin' wrong
Holdin' on to nonsense; now it's time to let it go
They said to know my limits, but I don't see any though
No, I don't see any though
They said to know my limits, but I don't see any though

I've been in my own way, been in my own way
I've been in my own way, been in my own way
Who's that stoppin' me? Who's that blockin' me
Did it to myself, so I owe me an apology
I've been in my own way

Wasn't bein' honest, not even with myself
And it only wound up hurtin' me and everyone else
You know, that's the piece I'm really ashamed of
Looked right in the mirror and I knew where the blame was
I've been wrong in the past, but yo, this is right now
And what I stand for, man, I know it's the right ground
Before I learned the lesson, had to realize what the problem is
This is a confession; this is an acknowledgment
Still so much to learn, but that's just how it's gotta be
And I don't know it all, but I know nothing's stoppin' me
No, I know nothing's stoppin' me
I don't know it all, but I know nothing's stoppin' me

I've been in my own way, been in my own way
I've been in my own way, been in my own way
Who's that stoppin' me? Who's that blockin' me
Did it to myself, so I owe me an apology
I've been in my own way

I used to make excuses just to hold me back
I had the reasons lined up; I couldn't go for that
My angel brought me back when I was slippin' away
You know I owe her so much of who I am today

Who's that stoppin' me? Who's that blockin' me
Did it to myself, so I owe me an apology

I've been in my own way; I won't let that hold me
I've been in my own way; I won't let that hold me
