[Intro]

These forces that often remake time and space

That can shape and alter who we imagine ourself to be

Begin long before we are born and continue after we perish

[Verse 1]

It's been a long time, since we're talking openly

I acted out so ya'll would notice me, I'm awkward socially

Was told I should find God, while holding these rosary beads

Seems everybody knows what we need, except for us

I just know I'm growing these seeds, they need some groceries

Please, it's so cold that we freeze, unless police said it

Then someone close to me bleeds uncontrollably

We get it, nobody's free, you pretend, for lost souls

My poetry breathes through my pen

And hopefully I see you again

Until then, I'll leave you with how deep you extend

And I'mma see you ascend from beneath you condemned

When telling Jesu your sins that's between you and him

And all the evil shit that we do's just a means to an end

This here's a preview, for friends and family that fell victim to the construct

They're in hell I'd share a cell with 'em for my conduct

Another product of a failed system ya'll just mock us

It's too hard to deal with realism I don't got much

Just wisdom I accquired through life, it burns inside you

They feel it in the fire you write, but words divide you

Let's pretend we try to unite the hate and the love

Imagine what we're capable of, and what's attainable

We'll make the unbreakable budge, at least eventually

Never be the same as it was, but if you let it be

It's better than breaking a bud and smoking chronic

Acting lackadaisical, buzzed, you'll go beyond it

I promise if I'm lying I'll die, it's so ironic

We kill ourselves trying to survive, that's why

[Hook]

Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with

Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid

But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused

Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this

For everybody stuck in a spot

That's why I wrote this

I know ya'll have suffered a lot

That's why I wrote this

All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody

Who's in need of a sign

[Verse 2]

As the drums hit, the one, and the one hits the two

This the dumb shit you do when you run with your crew

As a young kid, blunt lit, some sip of brew

Changes come quick, most of 'em will jump ship it's true

Like some punks it's confusing but it's like a right of passage

As we grow up like yo what, part of life is that shit

It's so fucked, I know but, you choose to fight the madness

Or you'll go nuts, like so what, the world's psychopathic

Diesel roll up, point a rifle at us like we're strapped, eating donuts

Harassing them 'cuz half my friends are black so we go buck

Wild like when animals attack as they show up

'Cuz either way they'll stab you in the back, I don't know much

I do know you take it in stride and keep building

Trying to find a way to survive for these children

Who always seem to imitate the pain that we feeling

When really they initiate the change so you can let it go

Get to know the inspiration gained and just let it grow

Otherwise you'll live today the same, Hey you never know

'Cuz with all this syndicated fame, and material wealth

We need some serious help with our priorities

As of now we're barely a shell of who we are to be

I think how each experience felt, and it's a part of me

That's how I stay real to myself, it's who you are to me

Not the whole appearance you sell, that shit is meaningless

Friends who care what you achieve like they need that shit

Will probably just say "fuck you" and leave

When you need your clique, the same ones that cut you

And bleed your ass dry, only in it for a piece of that pie

That's why

[Hook]

Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with

Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid

But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused

Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this

For everybody stuck in a spot

That's why I wrote this

I know ya'll have suffered a lot

That's why I wrote this

All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody

Who's in need of a sign
