[Verse 1]

The militant’s back, I took time for transition

I made it past the decline of Non Phixion

I’m a warrior hunting for change

Mainstream’s overrated man, fuck the fame

I’m for the people from all walks of life

Specifically poor people who are forced to fight

You think I’m soft and light because I work with the youth?

Some of these kids I work with be the first to shoot

They’re iller than you, in the streets killing the blues

I teach them one step at a time, they’re filling my shoes

It’s the rules of a leader, trouble and pain

In pursuit of a teacher who struggled and gained

We go from pimps to prophets, liars to logic

Zoo to drug abusers, survivors of the projects

My mind set's the clarity, predicting me well

A sign past the tragedy, commitment to self


[Chorus]

I will live my life more conscious

I’ll be the god amongst monsters

I’ll exercise more often

I’ll walk my talk and keep talking

I will read more books

But won’t judge a cover based on how it looks

I will choose love not fear

And make sure my commitment stays alive this year

I will choose to eat more healthy

And won’t believe everything you tell me

I'll treat women with respect

And be proactive and strive for the best

I will start to drink more water

And not spend when I can’t afford to

I’ll make my message clear

And make sure my commitment goes past this year

I will..

[Verse 2]

In the midst of the risk we became better people

Life is a movie, I’ma change the sequel

We owe it to ourselves, evolve out of Hell

Even for my folks behind bars in a cell

Stay well, it’s still a challenge

Reflect upon greatness, embrace it to your balance

Ultimate awareness comes from when you seek the truth

{"sample"}

See, life is a journey, plans and patience

Know that you’re worthy, transformation

Manifestation of creation as we know it

Red’ll rip redundant abomination of culprits

Life they giving you is all subliminal

Now we must commit and take back our principles

Turn hate to satisfaction, anger into action

Greed into giving and passive into passion


[Chorus]

I will live my life more conscious

I’ll be the god amongst monsters

I’ll exercise more often

I’ll walk my talk and keep talking

I will read more books

But won’t judge a cover based on how it looks

I will choose love not fear

And make sure my commitment stays alive this year

I will choose to eat more healthy

And won’t believe everything you tell me

I'll treat women with respect

And be proactive and strive for the best

I will start to drink more water

And not spend when I can’t afford to

I’ll make my message clear

And make sure my commitment goes past this year

I will..
