Progressive Perspective

What I'm gonna talk about
I'm sure you won't be able to turn your head
Verse 1:
The stakes are
Steady rising
They told me that
Life is diamonds
But all I see
Is the dirt and grime and
It's time I started appreciating
Life is climbing, striving, surviving
I'd say I like to be alive and
I'm always rising
Take the time to have a laugh
Share a little class
A goal without a timeline
That's just a dream
Forward as in motion
Emotional roller-coaster
I know it's never over
Bodizepha remember the name
Been here for generations
All that was and is yet to stand
No exaggeration
We are gonna die
Who am I?
Soaking in the sweat
From hustling
Plus I remember all the days
Plotting just to get a foot in
Yea I wanna get that pudding
But who doesn't
Wouldn't you wanna get it
How ironic
I talk about it
Then I got it
Is that logic?
Are you aware of the topic or
The jewel as I drop it
Revealing realness in an instant
Wise ears know the difference
Chorus:
What I'm
Speaking
Cause the world to
Stop sleeping
Put your hands up
Keep reaching
Who will be the one
To make the game
Even
Wake up and let the light
Seep in
Can't turn your head
From the world
Leaving
Now is the time
Right away
To get to thrill
Seeking
Because now… is… just…
All there is
So I'm jumping in
Verse 2:
What's real to you
Isn't necessarily real to me
You feeling me
No I'm not sure you're
Actually hearing me
I'ma break my theory down
To each his own
Experiences got you
On the path you on
But we living in the past
Projecting that into the future
Until you get this
There ain't nothing
I can do for you
The missing element
Living inside the present
Without it's so irrelevant
Celibate mind states
Can't penetrate you
Virgins to the sunlight
Victim of the crime rate
Elevate above the
Grind and blind hate
The world is cruel and beautiful
That's what I'm used to
In school they never gave me
The tools that's really useful
Through learning I stay youthful
Motivation is sharing the stories
That I live through
Walk in my shoes
Before assuming to have clues
Who's who
In the sands of time
Stepping across the line they drew
And who to listen to
Under the sun
There's one thing new
Do you
Until you get this for yourself
There's nothing new
Passing judgment
Gets a fuck you
Nothing to loose
Except you
Accept you
Accept you
Chorus:
What I'm speaking
Cause the world
To stop sleeping
Put your hands up
Keep reaching
Who will be the one
To make the game even
Wake up and let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Wake up and let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Let the light seep in
Or what color you happen to be
Verse 3:
So what's a bullet
If you're not afraid of dying
Take it
My situations just as fucked up
As I choose to make it
You wanna battle who's
Experiences where more tragic
A fanatic
Feeding off the static
Enigmatic, that's a riddle
Standing in the middle
Mistakes they can be fatal
Passing them down prenatal
Erratically visions surface
Sinking in pity
No purpose, so worthless
Wasted words
With which what was
Rather than what's next
Bodizepha I'm a suspect
Wanted for killing time
While opening minds
With a subject
You ain't touched yet
I'm retrospective
Aggressive incentives
Progressive perspective
Chorus:
What I'm speaking
Cause the world
To stop sleeping
Put your hands up
Keep reaching
Who will be the one
To make the game even
Wake up and let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Wake up and let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Let the light seep in
I said it makes no difference who you are
Wake up and let the light seep in
Or what color you happen to be
And let the light seep in
I'm sure you won't be able to turn your head
