Lyrics

It's Robert
One of us
Let's get it
I was graduating high school, getting into college, yeah
Doing what I can to expand my own knowledge
Now I know who I am, I can hear my own calling, yeah
Grounded in my stance even after all the falling
It was fall of '01 when those twin towers fell
We watched 'em all run, we wished 'em all well
My heart felt like a ton and my mind like a cell
So I prayed to His Son that His hope would prevail
But the fear ran deep, man, when shit hit the fan
It was messing with our sleep when they started up that ban
I know we need to keep, man, part of His plan
That's how we will reap and start to understand
That all we really need is inside of our hands
We just gotta let go and trust that we will land
So don't do it for the show, believe in what you stand for
Don't throw away your glow, yeah, you're worth so much more
Now this I know for sure, so I'm reaping what I sow
I don't need 'em no more to feel this holy glow
And the almighty flow, I'm watching me overthrow
The status quo from the mic I hold in the studio
I was graduating high school, getting into college, yeah
Doing what I can to expand my own knowledge
Now I know who I am, I can hear my own calling, yeah
Grounded in my stance even after all the falling
Moved up to Ottawa the summer after grade ten
Had to leave my first love but she was carrying
And then off like a dove she sent him back to him
Now my heart is breaking up, feeling like I lost a limb
Yeah, my light was getting dimmed, I started feeling grim
Resisting sin with sin, all I saw was wasted sin
Getting jacked by my own kin, yeah, stomped for no reason
With the fear of being killed 'cause I'm not Somalian
Now let me explain this pain I had trapped inside my brain
All those nights full of strain made it tough to maintain
Watched my mom do her thing, then my dad passing away
Felt my love getting drained, my right arm ripped away
So then I would assault on any that would test me
But it was definitely my fault, yeah, when they would arrest me
Or maybe it was the mug, couple shots of that whiskey
Or smoke up by the fog, must forgot that He is with me
I was graduating high school, getting into college, yeah
Doing what I can to expand my own knowledge
Now I know who I am, I can hear my own calling, yeah
Grounded in my stance even after all the falling
I started committing hard offenses, B&E and trafficking
Weed and shrooms in my possession, writing class like I'm a king
Didn't know it then, it was a lesson, Christ Himself the only King
Sent His angel innocence to show me what I could bring
