[Verse 1]
We hurt people that love us
Love people that hurt us
Steady turning from God
Yet praying he don't desert us
Living our whole lives
In and out of the churches
Looking under the surface
Contemplating a purpose
Searching for a reason to believe anymore
That fear of being lost forever I'm Trying to fight It
It's a flame in my heart that I need to explore
And that music in my mind is what I need to ignite It
Im digging deeper just to find who I really be
Is that image in the mirror what I really see
Faith is what I really need
Praying for my enemies
Somebody once told me my enemy is my inner me (yeah)
It's two sides to a nigga
I'm really getting acquainted with the side I don't really know
My thoughts getting to wide for the picture
I just hope the world ready for the flames when I let it go

[Verse 2]
Now tell me
What happened?
Niggas need more passion
The game was bout skill
Then it turned towards fashion
Cole hit the scene
Now this shit more classic
Bitch I'm at the door you know its bout to get drastic
Im undrafted working with something legendary
No February I'm far from being secondary
So watch me overtake jay-z's legacy
And believe that vision there is
Arbitrary
Maybe an adversary
But can't a nigga dream bigger than the next dude?
Dont it seem like people always doubting and telling you what you can't do?
Bottom line they just hating cause they ain't you
Fuck em all on some 2Pac shit
Shoe-box it and do not quit
Let it fuel ya homie
Fuck em all on some 2Pac shit
Shoe-box it and do not quit
Let it fuel ya homie
