Tragedy to Triumph

No one round you when you going through it

Well, I'd advise you to start writing music

I got a problem when the conscience truant

Cause devil fluid turn your thoughts to ruins

In a minute

I throw this brain in a grave

I need y'all's help to behave

My mind's like a blade

Designed to inlay engraves

But tends to cut deep by mistake

If someone else did it then why couldn't you

Innards ain't different just do what they do

Oppressive talk speaks "only the few"

The best way to win is by suffering through, it's true

Time flies

But why die

With highlights of my life

Screaming I never tried

I struggled by

That'd be a lie

I'll sacrifice

I feel like falling to the other side

I been questioning why have I been traumatized

It ain't no big deal

I'll let this heartache heal

And turn this tragedy into triumphs

It's hard to accept that the people who closest

Stick razor sharp knives in your back

The trust that you timidly gave to the chosen few

Busted like paper thin glass, there's no going back now

The static was once in the background

Has came for a smackdown, it's mad loud

And I see two paths now

Shoot for the stars or stay safe on the ground

I'll muster laughs at the critics till breath in my lungs fizzle out

Because I know y'all lying, you griping and crying

You judging at my life, know nothing about

I watched my mother get beaten, no rest

Ended up homeless, Lord gave me a test

Almost molested, thank God that my mind like some chess

Thank God when that man pulled that gun I checked death

I feel like falling to the other side

I been questioning why have I been traumatized

It ain't no big deal

I'll let this heartache heal

And turn this tragedy into triumphs

I'll take these cards that I'm given and turn them to something great

I know my fate, I'm on the verge of some better days

Determined it's worth it, I'll never shake

I got a conscience that's constantly screaming

Insisting I'm born to be great

But I got a demon that echoes depression

And darkness tries carving away at my pace, wait

What if I climbed up the ranks

What if my what ifs weren't what ifs but rather I change

And push against the grain

And channeled my pain

To something that leaves us with gain, not vain

I'm tryna stay real

But I gotta stay chill

I gotta pay bills

But a job deviates will

So I gotta find a way to break away before this lane kills

I feel like falling to the other side

I been questioning why have I been traumatized

It ain't no big deal

I'll let this heartache heal

And turn this tragedy into triumphs
