[Intro]

Yeah

Yeah

Keep this quick

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Many lifetimes, many lifetimes

What am I to say ? What am I to - ugh

Wisdom in my genes, love has been serene

I know what it feels like to see a dream

Deferred

Langston, 24 when they killed Trayvon

25 when I got my first crib

As I questioned what my worth is

What is work when you feel worthless?

Had to learn on how to piece it altogether

Put some others before I was ever checked up

If it’s for the better, God don’t еver let up

If it’s for more I for onе will let it all go

Come to crossroads many ways I can take it

Triggered when I feel I’ve been mistaken

My flaws I’ve embraced 'em

Even when I feel like God’s favorite

I trace this back to the source

Asking for direction, how do I enforce?

Sat in this complexion, hazards come with sores, ugh

Turn up on a nigga ruthless

Some things fate, some clueless

Somethings lie where the truth is

Somethings lie where the *sucks teeth * - shit

You a bitch nigga if the shoe fits

20 something I was bugging over being number 1 above rap’s Ruth Chris

Now it’s fuck these niggas, I do I 'til the tides move nicely

Inner child felt too pricey, let it go, need it back kindly

[Poem]

Yeah

They say the truth lies where the lies stopped the truth

Things we learned outta necessity

When love wasn’t an option, our ego took control

We hit walls that ask us to stop hitting

While God plays devils advocate

Sending Angels to deliver messages our senses either perceive or fall deaf to

I’ve experienced death too

Silenced for my wisdom

Fear of being shut down

Denied by the same ones I’ve accepted

I’ve seen up & close how compassion can turn into aggression

Affection to deception

Remaining present to obsessive reflection

This isn’t meant to raise objection, more provoke questions

Like where do our smiles go?

Is the darkness a place of refuge?

Or a consequence of life’s lessons?

Are we here to get it right?

Or learn with all our might?

I died in uncertainty

But more than that

Light was present when the heavens sent birth for me

That’s why there’s an urgency

To grow
