Prisoner

To put some cousins on, I had to cut some cousins off

And it's nothing like fuck it, I knew this came with a cost

And I'm just here for the prof

Swear they tried to crucify me just to get a point across

And I'm fucking feeling like I've been appointed by God

To be there leading the mob, to be defeating the odds

I give this all that I got, if it's change that they want

I make the slave a savant and put the chains on the cot

Then send them back to their dot

Now the dreaming's breathing, no more feeling that loss

And I pay for my freedom with all the blood that I dropped

And as long as I'm breathing, won't get the heart that I got

I defeated all my demons, swear that I'll never stop now

Don't know what I can tell ya

But I found myself today and

Got no more lies to sell ya

But I think it's time to pay

Living in glass homes, throwing all those stones

You got a visitor

Sitting on the throne in a broken home

Baby, I'm not a prisoner

Yeah

A man that ask a question only a fool for a second

Never ask, you never know, gotta put in the effort

From the past you can grow, gotta pick out the lessons

Hidden messages you learn from records, I'll never forget it, uh

Lately, my mental been a war zone

Paradise war-torn, white flags all gone

But I refuse to lose, the shackles broken

Free from the past, the next chapter's open

Coping mechanisms, not barely coping

Getting back that smile that the devil's stolen

A freedom I ain't felt before my wings done grew

Yeah the world at my feet 'cause the kid done flew

And I got all the keys to the kingdom too

Always got spares if I lose a few

I feel bulletproof 'cause I understand what them bullets do

Me, myself and I when the bullets flew but I'm still here

Don't know what I can tell ya

But I found myself today and

Got no more lies to sell ya

But I think it's time to pay

Living in glass homes, throwing all those stones

You got a visitor

Sitting on the throne in a broken home

Baby, I'm not a prisoner

Off my knees, I fought it

I'm climbing mountains all day

For this life of freedom

I've chased my demons away

Lost all my emotions

I know that it's for the best

I don't need no closure

I lay my heartache to rest

Don't know what I can tell ya

But I found myself today and

Got no more lies to sell ya

But I think it's time to pay

Living in glass homes, throwing all those stones

You got a visitor

Sitting on the throne in a broken home

Baby, I'm not a prisoner
