Lyrics

Waking up every morning, I hear sirens in my head
Is it the environment or the fallacies that I dread
Flames are scorching, blazing the horses
Making this wasted time feel enormous
Yawning in bed, my mind feeling dormant
Gotta get ahead to up the scoring
Can I really make a difference? or do I surrender
The concepts and rhymes just being used as my fender
A defender I am
Of the truth and prized possessions we withstand
Using my voice to reprimand the injustice we see
But if I'm not enough then you gotta follow me
Holiness is what I work to be, to end the unfortunate corrupt functionality
My life filled with madness
The concept's a tragedy
I stretch my hands out to the father, his hands out of reach
I'm proud to be searching for something gold like alchemy
A masterpiece
I like to stay hungry, I keep my palate clean
My life implode if I allow it
Press the button, eisenhower
Dont give me that kinda power
It could be my final hour
Life's imbalanced
Life's a pattern
Everything come back around
The rich get rich and stay adrift
The system's twisted, tightly wound
I check the clock, the hands have stopped
Like quiet crowds with no applause
I spent my time writing bars, no wonder I feel trapped and lost
Imprisonment, and I can't see
I'm seeing double, michael b
Jordan, see the warden
He look like he boutta sentence me
I pledge allegiance to no flag
I pledge allegiance to no man
I pledge allegiance to my past
I'm praying y'all can understand
I'm begging please, your honor
Just let me free, your honor
He bang the gavel and nodded
Said "case closed, onwards"
I guess life can bite ya, a fanged viper
A curse to have spite, it's time to pay the piper
Told my g-pa smile, then I saw his face light up
I grabbed his hand tighter
It start to feel lighter
He fought until the end, but death is the greatest fighter
And not a single punch in this world will hit like life does
So gon and grab a lighter
Raise a toast, hug ya folks
Go be loud and do the most
Love ya friends, keep em close
I just hope that when my time comes
They hear my words that I hum
They hear the bass and my drums
And let it play, then I've won
Mama, aren't you proud, huh?
Look at how far that I've come
I love you way beyond words
I love you always, onward
Love you always Ima ponder
My life and family feels like commerce
I rehearse the cohesive ventures like a scholar
Im repping my repertoire, to get my dollars
I hear the hollers, and the hooting
They dont see inside, only out they be viewing
Im queuing the love, continuing shooing the fuss
Opening up, thinking is there anyone truer than us, uh
Wishing I could fish out of the grave
My moms mom never seen how I've grown to behave
Thinking if this road that I pave, would be glistening from lessons she gave
No time to look back now
All this work Im just motivated to make her proud
Stepping back Im saying wow
They dont joke about life being as fast a blink
So I get to the ink, and reflect for my peers, faster than they could think
Word to my ignorant brothers
I really love ya
But, I need you to be consubstantial with me for our mothers
The hurting they cover, the loving they smother
Hopefully theres enough time, so we can recover
Im feeling more intact with my spiritual side
The loving Lord and my destined fate, I hope to reside
I know theres a reality where the righteous and the evil have coincide
Thats just the heart that gets provided direct to my mind
Im hoping I can become free'd a little sooner
But that contradicts the enjoyment I get from living on earth
I been thanking the Lord since birth
Cuz without him, I wouldnt be here talking this worth
The gifts and the curse
Its like money cant buy happiness, they tell the kids as they splurge
Im coming for purge
But nothing harmful, ya heard
Spreading kindness and intuition, I believe
Times running out for me, so I gotta grasp it and full court heave
I do the duck and the weave
From shit thats bothering me
Had to leave this message, before I hit the road and leave
Onwards
