Lyrics

Sometimes, I think about life, despite what happened, going through the phases, they're not what I imagined
It's kinda tragic how the story of a black man went up to chart the canvas, kinda like the chalkboards in them math classes
The time is passing for us, 'member when we was young, the visions flooding like a river in the morning sun
One and done, think of all the places we'd run, then the journey has begun, think of what we'd become
A deep writer, I could see my future getting brighter, thinking back on all the past times that I was a fighter
But more exclusively, specifically, the night that it went down, I gathered inspiration, that event was the fire
And now I'm going higher, from the moment I was inspired, took a moment to reflect on oppression back in my time
I remember, I was chatting to my family about it, saying "How they defamate you, if you never did the crime?"
But it's alright, we fine, just be keeping the grind
If I stayed up in silence, I'd have some peace in my mind
Find a whole other meaning just for my life on the side
When I'm looking for guidance, I look to God in the sky
And maybe **** realize that I never lied, they headed to the front, and I just went to the side
It takes a lot of dedication and the mental explanation just to find out where the loyalties lie
And I'm believing, that's why
I'm reminded of the trust I gave, for my heart was placed, they was turned against me
For every moment I would run my race, got me feeling replaced with all the trials that test me
Even though I've been living inside a big city full of people and they always divide
It got me feelin' away, feelin' away, this love is like a melody
I will never forget about the time I tried to slide away from all of my feelings
I been dealing with a lifetime of suffering, just sitting back and wondering 'bout how the fuck I'm sposed to move on, and my body was killing
They never witnessed it clearly, it just kept going on freely
Sincerely, I just found another meaning just for the life I've been living
And in the comforts of my bedroom, I've been living in the trenches alone, I know that God was giving
Respectfully, I know these **** gon' be through with me, the same events repeating just like when I lived on Jubilee
It's true to me, the precipice of living in this lifestyle, like in the book of Genesis, a war until they exiled
But that's the life I live, ran into people that were hostile, I got the biggest feeling that I never was the best child
I guessed wild, and took a little journey while the rest smiled, went searching for my truth for a mile, just like the X-Files
But it's alright, we fine, just be keeping the grind
If I stayed up in silence, I'd have some peace in my mind
Find a whole other meaning just for my life on the side
When I'm looking for guidance, I look to God in the sky
And maybe **** realize that I never lied, they headed to the front, and I just went to the side
It takes a lot of dedication and the mental explanation just to find out where the loyalties lie
And I'm believing, that's why
I'm reminded of the trust I gave, for my heart was placed, they was turned against me
For every moment I would run my race, got me feeling replaced with all the trials that test me
Even though I've been living inside a big city full of people and they always divide
It got me feelin' away, feelin' away, this love is like a melody
I'm reminded of the trust I gave, for my heart was placed, they was turned against me
For every moment I would run my race, got me feeling replaced with all the trials that test me
Even though I've been living inside a big city full of people and they always divide
It got me feelin' away, feelin' away, this love is like a melody
So, I just wanna take this time to extend my biggest thank you's to each and every one of you for being there for me, and standing by my side
I couldn't have done any of this without any of you
And, I owe each and every one of you my life, this is really big for me
-Because you guys have been there for me
And I have no idea, no way to possibly thank you for everything
You guys helped me make this possible
Anyways, thank you, peace and love
