"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." -Mark Twain


I’m done with it,

Going on, moving on,

I’m done with it,

Going strong, move along,

Yeah I’m done with it,

Let’s go I’m on, this my song,

’Cause I’m done with it, done with it!


Just because I passed the finish line doesn’t mean I’m done,

I’m runnin’ through the crowd, and I’m holdin’ on to my run,

’Cause I’ve got a momentum,

And I’m gonna use it to get their attention,

I have a pretension,

To let go of all my tension,

And find redemption,

In my ascension,

And I’m going alone, I have my own engine,

And I don’t need no pension,

Because I’m goin’ at this ‘till I die,

And when I’m in heaven I’ll still be runnin’, it ain’t no lie,

I’m not just an ordinary guy,

I’ve got an endless supply,

Of energy,

From my inner anarchy,

I’ve got a voice inside trying to break free out of me.

And it’s not easy to let it out,

But when I do, I’m on fire, I’m changing my route,

And I may be going slow at first but I’m growing exponentially,

Eventually,

I’ll surpass these linear clowns,

Essentially,

I’m saying that I’m done with this and I’m gonna keep going,

Potentially,

Scratch that, I mean definitely,

I will not stop,

I will never allow myself to drop,

To rot,

I’m gonna keep charging forth like Lancelot.

I told you I’m never gonna slow down,

I’ve got a streak, and nothing's stopping me from reaching for my own crown!


I’m done with it,

Going on, moving on,

I’m done with it,

Going strong, move along,

Yeah I’m done with it,

Let’s go I’m on, this my song,

’Cause I’m done with it, done with it!


Now I don’t mean to sound over-confident,

I’m just trying to become a vowel from a consonant,

To break away from this supercontinent,

And I know I’m not there yet but I’m on to it.

’Cause I’m pulling back my sling-shot,

And when I fling myself forward I’ma give it all that I got,

Because I fought a lot,

To get to this place,

And if you try to stop me, I’m just gonna fly over your face,

You’ll be tripping over your own shoelace,

While I’m among the stars you’ll be a complete disgrace.

So don’t try to doubt me,

And I know I’ll face challenges and no one’s just gonna allow me,

To do what I want,

But I won’t reply to a single taunt,

’Cause I’ve got a mission,

A vision,

I’m chasin’ it with precision,

I’ve made my decision,

Nothin’s stoppin’ me, not a single petition,

Not a single collision,

’Cause I’ll just rebound with a force stronger than nuclear fission,

Don’t care if no one wants to listen,

To me dissin’

I’m not a product of pop fizzing

I’ve already risen,

I’m comin’ for vengeance, there’ll be nothing that’s missing!

And that’s why:


I’m done with it,

Going on, moving on,

I’m done with it,

Going strong, move along,

Yeah I’m done with it,

Let’s go I’m on, this my song,

’Cause I’m done with it, done with it!


Yeah I’m done with the old me,

I’m out of my pit, like Joseph they sold me,

And now I’ll spit myself out on paper and unfold me,

Don’t care what they told me,

I’m gonna keep flowing I’m gonna move on,

I’m gonna let go of what I’ve done wrong,

I’m gonna stay strong,

I’m gonna go long,

I said it’s my song,

And nothing is stopping me. You know why?

Because I’m done with it.


The author's comments:

This is a rap I wrote after quarantine about moving on and transforming into a new and better person. Covid had most of us feeling down, but there were some silver linings. It made me reflect on myself so I could rebound stronger than ever, and I hope this song will inspire you to do so as well.
