Lyrics

When unaware of life I knew I had number days
Now I’m older, time wasted and limited funds to graze
Gloss over my presence overtime, my style dipped in glaze
Dimming my inner fire, need a spark to set up blaze but then I say
Who’s my opponent in this fight I’m in?
Myself or others around me who I call my kin
Influence from others don’t make me feel all right within
Grew up a child of God, but I got a write this in
My touch I Midas in
Bronze, silver, what have you
Told the question in the world but I question my value
My worth as it’s best said
My will has been tested
Worry people feel obligated, not interested
Less said the better but I still need to speak my mind
Sad to say that my harmony is really hard to find
A face only a mother could love
Hate it when push come to shove
Knocked off my pedestal disregarded by those above
Brought in this world with a face full of Cole
Head full aspirations to go break from the mold
Told me to fill a shape but I ain’t taking their roles
They really tried to have me casted like their making a soap
But I done spent too many hours sitting hammering away
Every stroke is honing this pen something closer to a blade
Parents hoped that I would change
I was thrown into the flames
Went from hot headed to hardened cause the waves would calmed my rage
Heart of steel, no wonder water would help me get my esteem up
Young Hermes hit me up, he was yearning for this here team up
Started planning my attack like I was called on by Athena
Never cared for their revenge but they ain’t heard from these two dreamers
Weight up on my shoulders like a anvil on my back
Take my demons every evening, I dismantle them thru rap
Need a handle on my crap
Like a sandal, I been flat
I was never in the clear but I ain’t sampling my past
Bitch, it’s Dami
The artistry is meant to evolve
But there are some issues that the heart in me is meant to resolve
Worried that I’m stuck in a cycle like a peloton
When I know I’m alright, it’s time to get ‘em gone
Haters, I get ‘em strong
But what they sending my way is weak
I was taught growing up that you were blessed if you were the meek
Take a look through my lens so you can see how it feels
Life feels cinematic, turn down the lights and play the reels
Wanna spread truth like Ted talk
Been getting by, I ain’t waiting rest stop
Tryna be an icon, sitting at my desk top
Living out the box, I don’t this just to check off
Got a banquet w the boys we at the round table
Going to war words are my swords living out fables
Need a drawbridge cuz I'm knowing what’s around fatal
Gotta keep the castle closed
Gotta keep my house stable
