[HOOK 1]

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But the golden rule’s usually pursued by chosen few

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But the golden rule’s usually pursued by chosen few

[Verse 1]

It’s, it’s, like, like, that, to that, y’all

Up to my knees in these high brows and slack jaws

Stuck on the streets like they tied down to asphalt

And ain’t even leaving when lights shout it’s last call

Take daily vacations on fastballs

State their cases through rap drawl

Play it safe like pacing on cat’s claws

Breakaway like a hacksaw

A statement to my friends claiming they caught a bad bounce

Just to find out they spent rent on a half-ounce

Sad as that sounds when they get tracked down

It tends to be the innocent catch rounds in the background

And still they bag pounds, I don’t know what to tell you

They only smoking Ls to celebrate what fell through

It’s like yelling elevate to sitting ducks and clay pigeons

So I pray with any luck, that maybe one day they listen

[HOOK 2]

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But only you can do what’s true to you, so show and prove

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But only you can do what’s true to you, so show and prove

[Verse 2]

It’s, it’s, like, like, this, to this, y’all

Bridges for the burn pile, tripping into pitfalls

Hit the brick wall like missing isn’t worthwhile

Kids getting jumped or pushed around like turn-styles

You ain’t the first child running in circles

Or the worst person to ever stumble over hurdles

Physical and verbal, we’ve all known abuse

The difference exists in the approach to what you’re going through

You hold the tools against stones and sticks

Whether it’s hurtful words or just throwing bricks

They can break bones and smash homes to bits

But where you’ve been broke is where you grow the most

Wake the comatose in hopes to make it volatile

Like I’m straight shaking a bottle full of rocket fuel

We, we, will, will overcome the obstacles

Because we know, we know it’s not impossible

[HOOK 3]

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But the golden rule’s usually pursued by chosen few

I see the signs to free these minds as overdue

So leave behind the evil times when no one moved

The key to peace I find is combining beats and rhymes

But only you can do what’s true to you, so show and prove

[OUTRO]

O-o, b-b, s-s, t-t

A-a, c-c, l-l, e-e

O-b-s-t-a-c-l-e

S, keeps seeds from growing healthy

Yes, indeed, or so they tell me

But it’s only logical we’d overcome the obstacles

We, we, will, will overcome the obstacles

Because we know, we know it’s not impossible

We, we, will, will overcome the obstacles

Because we know, we know it’s not impossible
