Tomorrow's Weights

Tomorrow's Weights

Prompt: melancholic rap song about my friend Cherif who always postpone going to the gym the next day

Lyrics

Every plan that we set, every gym date that's missed
Talk ambition we dream, but the action is dissed
Too lazy, can't commit
Cherif says he'll get fit, but it's always delayed
He gon' claim to be sick, 'cause he's caught in his ways
[Chorus]
'Cause when you talkin' 'bout the gains, you be searchin' for excuses
Hit you with a text, see your will is just elusive
Why you plan a set when your heart ain't in the usage?
You tell me you'll start, say tomorrow's when you'll do it
But you won't do it, Cherif, why you stallin'?
Say he’ll pump the weights, push the limits sky high
But at home he stays, dreams and benches both lie
Promises in smoke, vanish in the late night
His mirror reflects the struggle, in the twilight
[Chorus]
Always with excuses, treadmill times are rare
Chasin' future strength, but tomorrow’s never there
Procrastination’s grip, silent, it ensnares
Empty gym bags sit, yet Cherif swears he cares
But truth is, Cherif, you just ain't goin’ nowhere
