Too focused on the content and not enough on context

I've been turning all my pain and all my problems into progress
But never realized I lost myself up in the process
Too focused on the content
And not enough on context
You can't really feed the passion if you're caught up on the profit
You can't see the bigger picture if you're never looking up
And you can never smell the roses if you're focused on the mud
It's funny how it goes
I been rolling with the punches through the highs and through the lows
And looking for the truth inside the lies that get exposed
No matter what it takes I never bend I never fold
I just take it day by day and focus on what I control
