Play yo' role, it's just part of the game
Things went left, I had to accept I was partly to blame
Whether prey or predator, we all still part of the chain
We've all had plans that didn't go through like a clog in the drain
I had to learn to stop and smell the roses
The route I'm on is the scenic, uh
Home is where the heart is, that shit took on a new meaning, uh
We always treating life like it's something we gotta beat
Instead of seeing that you can't ever lose if you ain't competing, uh
It's not you versus me
It's us, it's you sharing this Earth with me, yeah
Diversity, you different than me, I don't take it personally
All kinda ways of life
Do what works for you
Don't mean it's true 'cause it's what they be like
Can't give too much power to what they say is wrong or say is right
When you talk to God, what's on yo' heart?
What you say at night?
What type of world you wanna see?
What type of person you gon' be?
What type of life you wanna live?
Do you think people can be reached or is it all just what it is?
Do you practice what you preach?
Do you load up and take revenge?
Or do you turn the other cheek, erase and never pressing send?
What pain have you not released?
Who energy you carrying?
Family and relatives
Happiness is relative
How you feel about yo' friends?
Do yo' words and all of yo' actions connect how you intend?
How do you come off?
Do you care or do you play pretend?
What rules do you live by?
Do you ever let 'em break or bend?
How you like to spend your time?
Are you okay with how it's spent?
Are you satisfied with the way that you make the bread come in?
Are you passionate or just surviving, tryna pay the rent?
Can you make a meal out of what is currently in yo' fridge?
You think you can make some mill's
Or do you think you trapped by the salary and the wage they give?
It's all mindset, plus yo' habits that shape the way you feel
And determine how great you get
But the real life hack is knowing that you great regardless
No matter what you make or how much
Knowledge that you gain or skill
Even if you ain't the smartest
Even if you ain't the tallest
Believe inside yo' heart that can't nothing ever make you heartless
Life is what you make it
Don't let 'em take yo' light and make it darkness
Everybody got something special in 'em that they can harness
They tried to box you in, but didn't recognize that you stay evolving
Yeah
There's beauty in it all
The routine, the scars
Too easy to lose who you are
But you'll find that life always finds a way
I just pray that there's light in your days and the darkness fades
Look
I ain't perfect, I ain't holier than thou
Keep my head up, but I ain't walking with my nose up to the clouds
Stay in my head, stay to myself, 'cause I don't know who really down
Like you gon' hoe me when I'm down, or you gon' hold a n- down
I swear my life done went all kinda ways
So many people came and they went and moments that got away
So much that never got explained
So much I never got to say
And everything I did just got twisted, missed 'cause of blinding rage
That's why I lean on self-awareness
'Cause living attached to pride is equivalent to life inside a cage
Reflecting on regrets where humility might have stopped the hate
But I am not a victim n-, that ain't what I'm tryna say, it's
Just the way that I've been painted
Made me comprehensive with who I am and who I'm not gon' hang with
But I don't want pain and fear to guide my steps
My life I'm tryna change it
For the better
Through the rain and stormy weather
Yeah I could do it on my own, but feel like we can do more together
Just a philosopher representing peace
While living in a world where it's like we can go to war whenever
Fighting over borders, stressing
Any disagreement, people lighting up the torches, weapons
All I see is hearts that are scorned, tryna find support, connection
Relief from the mistreatment and lack of empathy or affection
Relief from all the judgment and criticism and course correction
Relief from all the times people thought we were wrong
And forced a exit
Relief from all the toxic hypotheses that distort perception
Relief from the exhaustion of navigating misfortune, ailments
Deep down everyone just want a life
That's filled with warmth and blessings
Relief from the abuse and wrongdoings
And people you thought were closest to you
And supposed to protect you choosing to hurt you
Relief from the confusion
Of moving even when you feel like you don't know what you're doing
Discerning through the illusion
Like surgeons just cutting through all the bullshit
Tryna remove any unit that isn't serving, a student, forever learning
Seem like that's a major part of this human experience
Is improving constantly
How can we find the time to enjoy what our life is
If we always staying lost in the thought of what we want life to be?
What is being myself if there's always something I'm tryna be?
Yeah I'm reaching new levels, there's always more that I'm tryna reach
I just wanna know when is it okay to be satisfied?
But unless I'm evolving, nothing at all satisfying me
My hunger get stronger, stomach get large every bar and beat
Yeah it's time to eat
Studying how to create a viral thing
And it seem like it take quality and quantity
Confidence and modesty
But really ain't no rules to this shit, people pop off anything
It's just about defining yo' truth, deciding to finally speak
I'm still flying economy
But they want my attention on tryna solve the economy?
To do that shit it starts with me
If I don't solve my internal problems
How can I solve shit outside of me?
I can't keep molding my life around shit that's not for me
I don't fuck with corporate or politics or policy
I don't agree with paying rent or colleges or five-day weeks
Like fuck a 40 hours, I just wanna live a life that's free
Yeah
There's beauty in it all
The routine, the scars
Too easy to lose who you are
But you'll find that life always finds a way
I just pray that there's light in your days and the darkness fades
