Lyrics
[Verse] To live and die and rise again, the phoenix mitosis The way I split myself in two, the water moving Moses My needs and what I wanted was a life I wasn't promised I was hopeless and made the most of something called growth This life is all open The cold wind was bone-chilling, frozen in the moment Amen, the omen Then met me at the intersection, lesions on the low end The sacred height to lean into, we went the distance When I couldn't speak a word, spirit told me write a sentence My senses were all shot, my alternate dimension Past, present, future, tripping, plaguing my ascension The tension was pressure, finna pop in all direction Ain't know shadow without light, not the dark, I'm reinvented My pops say I'm a nine of clubs, completion is progression Embarking on journeys taught me I'm worthy of affection Will all of my worries leave me? I'm fiending for connection I'm on my way to thirty like I'm certainly protected Meet me at the nexus Tomorrow isn't promised, but I'm sure this next step is Blessings and failure mean you're learning life lessons, it's precious Takes time, cleaning up the messes The message for you and the messenger whoever Complexity rebuked, I'll take the easy route to Heaven Got a pot of stone soup on the fire for my bredren My life forever changed in 2002 I lost my brother, but I'm grateful to have found a few And hurt people do recover if they face the truth What's the root? From there, I blossom to awake anew I grew up in a cramped environment but learned to love The women in my life, it's like I only known the hurt and hug For every time that I caught fire and my father saw me burning up And situation's dire, I prefer to run further from it When I was farthest from myself, I ain't deserve to plummet Now I sit with feelings felt, I don't revert to numbin' Be conscious of what you give, be careful what you summon Bred in mama ribs, I heard the universe hummin' The spirits spoke a name, Sage Didn't know it was my own 'til I became it Rainin', pourin', Atreyu in the Orin The never-ending story of the sword and the soaring [Outro] Spent too much of my lifetime warring Put the sword down and the shield I'm here now, it's time to heal
