(Verse 1)

Perfection just happens

But still taking steps forward

And moving backwards towards the casket

Thought we was warriors

But the Devil just laughing

Up in them shadows that my brethren call home

Connection severed

But the love and respect is never gone

And when ya feel alone

Learn to cherish that

And tune into the thoughts that running through yo dome

Can't escape it

It's yo home

No place like it, treat it well

It's yo mind can't you tell

That decidе if you prevail or fail

I wish you well

The vеil been lifted but right now we still living in hell

Can't you tell?

Look out into the world and everything's for sale;

Wicked and evil running rampant through these people

Looking for answers but rarely do they seep through

I mean, I know what I should do

At least, I think I do

Told myself everyday, "Don't let fear get the best of you"

Now hiding in a darkened space;

Devil grinning right next to you

I look him in the face, wonder how he's fallen too;

He said, "Hello kid, nice to meet you"

I respond with nothing cause I was honestly fearful

But when I looked into his eyes

I seen something familiar

That's when I realized I'm looking directly into the mirror;

(Verse 2)

Questions flooding my brain

I'm known for overthinking

"Am I evil? Am I good?

Is that a relevant question?

Am I wasting my time with this rap shit?"

Guess we'll keep guessing

Can't even say I'm trying my hardest

But everyday is a lesson;

Guess we live and learn

But cycles we return

Soul goin' slowly slowly burn

Like the blunt

Filled with devil's lettuce

Pass it to the homie for a turn

Guilty conscious was it learned

Or is it something from within?

Take a hit

Now I've fallen into this cycle again'

Can't let the matrix win

But I don't really feel like fighting no mo';

Guess I'm like Neo

But the name is Luno

An alter ego

And a name that I chose

The Red Pill

And now I see the codes

But questions still remain

Like, "How come when I see you, I'm froze?"

Play it cool but where we go

In the future, it's unknown

Choices that we make in present

Only hint at what we get

Cause' if we knew all of the answers

Then we would be bored as shit

Gotta spice it up with pain and maybe some torment;

You hear what I'm saying?

I'm here to awaken, dormant

Higher selves, on higher shelves

Collecting dust, but not forsaken;

We travel different paths

But it's a common goal we reaching

Hate it will not last

If love is what you seeking;

(Verse 3)

Everlasting balance in this world

I'm far from peaking

On this journey by myself

That's reminiscence of the beginning

Said we far from ending;

Said you get what you give

Learned that the hard way

Now everyday I repent

Close my eyes tell myself

"Sorry for the Sins

Is there anyway that you can think

That I can amends?;"

Try my hardest not to slip

I'm constantly adjusting grip

Devil taking shots

But I'm just hoping that he miss

Been hit, rely on discipline

My will is growing slim

Chills run up my spine

Thinking about falling again;

When do we win?

What's the prize?

Do we get anything for seeing through all the lies?

Who's right?

Who's wrong?

Tell me what matters most

When you are fighting to hold on;

In the night

In the darkness

But ain't no need to fright

What's there to be afraid of?

Death is inevitable

But everyday we get a taste of

That bitter-sweet kind of love

That love and hate kind of stuff;

It's life or death

Tell me which ends tragically

Peace in death is probably easy

But in life we learn

Through the pain, struggle, and strife;

To find peace is quite the task

But I'd say I'm doing alright

To just be Me is all I ask

In search for peace through the night;

(Verse 4)

Everyday a different struggle

No matter how muddled

What you follow

Righteous path?

Or is it one that's hollow

One that lead you with wearing a mask

So distracted can't keep track

Or stay on it, Am I last?

Is anyone even keeping track?

Guardian Angels, Demons;

These things just human mind deceitment

How do we even know what's fact?

Fall back into my mind

And now I've made my back

To the Beginning of Time

But what was before that?

Talking way way back;

Way before the homies felt the need to stay strapped

Way before we fell to greed, while the Devil laugh;

Matter fact, way before the devil

Was it peace on Earth?

Or was the Earth non-existent

Cause' we need that hurt?

No telling what came first

Simultaneously emerge?

Or maybe it was a curse;

Who knows these answers to these questions

Cause' we only human after all

Perspective seems to blind us from the truth

And acting like a wall

Tunnel vision;

Find the light before you fall
