"Resting on My Laurels" by Victoria Whitlock
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I’m resting on my laurels
Though my laurels aren’t enough
I’m feeding into my sorrows
Though my sorrows aren’t that tough
I am tryna make things happen
Though the happening's pretty rough
I just wanna have things easy
But my mind is filled with stuff
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff
[Verse 2]
I’m resting on my laurels
Though my laurels are pretty bare
Complaining about my odds
Although my odds are pretty fair
The work just needs to be done
But when I start I just get scared
Am I doing what I want?
But then if not, why do I care?
[Chorus]
I used to coast, now it’s taking a toll on me
I want to boast but I don’t have much to see
Thought I did the most, but there’s so much more to be
But now I am toast if I don’t face reality
Reality
[Verse 3]
I’m resting on my laurels
Though my laurels ain’t evergreen
Parading around my crowns
Though they ain’t make me the queen
I am tryna make things happen
But sometimes I’m a little mean
To myself, but I’m just saying
That I have more to dream
[Chorus]
I used to coast now it’s taking a toll on me
I want to boast but I don’t have much to see
Thought I did the most, but there’s so much more to be
But now I am toast if I don’t face reality
I thought I tried, but I’d gotten everything for free
I’ve faced the music and I don’t want to sing
The days ahead seem long but empty
Because there’s so much more to achieve
[Outro]
I’m holding on
I’m holding back
I’m holding onto my accomplishments
I’m holding fast
I’m holding steady
I’m holding up my precedents
