[Verse 1: Bodi]

Not every storm cloud’s got a silver lining

But you gotta have the darkness to see the sun shining

And sometimes shit just happens

And all you can do is control your reaction

It’s all passin, the beautiful and tragic

It’s an act of vanishing magic

When lines in the hourglass sand are drawn

And you can’t take a picture, it’s already gone

This goes beyond carpe diem

Now’s all you have til the eyes closed leavin

Ain't always meanin in the plotline schemin

Too busy breathin that the truth is make believe in

Yourself, but, take the body shots

Fight like a bull in a china shop

It’s never gonna stop

Life is a test until the quiz goes pop to stand

[Hook: Bodi]

Up, there’s no shame

We all fall down like drops of rain to

Stand, up, I do the same

May forget the face, but they won’t forget the name when you stand

(2x)

[Verse 2: Bodi]

Some days you’re the pigeon, in others the statue

But you can’t control what attacks you

Black blues how you’re gonna be left

Sometimes. You can’t stay on your chest

Never expect a hand to pull you vertical

Vertigo riddles, you can’t take it personal

When people would rather see you fall than fly

Why you think there’s so many bullet holes in night’s sky?

Shootin stars, they wish on, cause they don’t wanna be

The only victim of the prison of gravity

See kids rip their wings out their vertebrae

Just to stick below the clouds with the other birds of prey

Cause that ain't freedom

Freedom is refusin the bullshit they’re feeding

Making the most of the world before leaving

And marching to the sunset no matter when you’re leaving to stand

[Hook]

[Verse 3: M.anifest]

Yo, see, I go hard on this journey down for that dope sound

Not an attorney, but legally I stay bound

To the words I utter, I don't stutter now

Even though a legion of [?] trying to bring me down

The road less traveled, the challenge unravels

And the last straw coulda broke the back of the camel

I could swim across the English Channel

Emerge dry as a drub and then put on my flannel

Pants, or maybe trousers, yep, the beat arouses

Moving on strong make the weak say wowzers

We build houses filled with many dreams and goals

Some moments sugar free like sweet and lo

Still we on a roll trying to make the honor roll

An African noble and admirable

I could put my own soul as collateral

Fo sho, I pay calm on what I owe
