HOLD SPACE (feat. Shannon Legrand)

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home

A long way from home

A long way from home

I was a lost soul at a crossroad

Searching for a place only my heart knows

I had to find myself redefine myself

Realign with self see the God in self

Divine illumination man spark your spirit

Everybody knows the truth when they start to hear it

Some don't accept it some gon' fear it

But others will embrace it others will mirror it

I had to rebuild my life I ain't no where to start

Just knew I had to shed some light cause I was in the dark

Searching for love I needed to love me

Instead of looking for somebody to give it to me

This is for everybody in the battle just keep fighting

Your story gets better gotta keep writing

Never played a victim that ain't how we kick it

I'm turning pain into power this the transition

Sometimes memories sneak out my eyes

and roll down my face

Before they hit the ground

I think of your face

Since you've been gone

No where feels like home

I'm so out of place

Gotta hold space hold space

Space

You have to start with yourself and accept the circumstances of you're life

And accept them as you own

Accept them as your own creation

Accept them as your own karma

Accept them as your own truth

As you own work that you are given to do in this lifetime

And deal with it from there and start with yourself

Start by taking time with yourself to just sit quietly in a day

To just be still and not let all the concepts

And all the ideas and all the mental constructs wear you down

Huh I'm in boxing class

Visualizing my father's face on a punching bag

Low-key hoping for the moment where I be rushing his ass

How he did my momma dirty still had me stuck in the past

And the way I'm moving forward he won't be ducking these jabs

I want him to feel it I felt like hurting him would help with my healing

Dealing with tension that's been building all them times I forgave him

Only for him to come back around with more fuck-**** behavior

I keep releasing resentment

When my momma transitioned

anger strangled my heart

The fact that he was still living

Had to abandon them feelings like he abandoned his children

Learned to depend on myself how he's depended on women

Generational curses working overtime and I guess

His father didn't bother show him how to clean up his mess

Maybe he had and my dad just ain't follow the steps

Either way somehow his demons found my mother's address

And sat by my bed as I slept

Whispering that I'm hexed started breathing down my neck

Like yeah **** you next

You gon' be a addict too and live a life of regrets

You'll be the worst your emotions will get the best

You'll feel entitled to titles you ain't earned and didn't protect

My biggest flex is that I rose above it

Determined to learn and be something

With no example of it that's life gotta love it

No hate and no grudges wouldn't take it back for nothing

I turned lack into abundance but these memories

Sometimes memories sneak out my eyes

and roll down my face

Before they hit the ground

I think of your face

Since you've been gone

No where feels like home

I'm so out of place

Gotta hold space hold space
