lyrics

I was born in the darkness, born stuck in a locked room and empty closet
Lost identity within I blocked it for my life, only to see that it caused more than strife
But this is freedom, defeated my demons and threw them in the depths of a behemoth
Relieving my life while worthless papers call out to what’s yours.
Shut doors of my mental always has me striving to be successful,
tides turn and tables yearn for my potential
I’ll always be resentful,
Put me in cuffs,
but they couldn’t take my pride with it, I’m a handful
And I wonder if you believe in me,
but the thoughts of you deceiving me leaves my mind in these empty streets. I can’t breathe,
wondering if I should choose my destiny or if I should Rest In Peace.
I was burning my pain in blades
till I realized being off the chain would never enhance change
So listen to the words I tell ya, I’m an example of a man once drenched in paraphernalia
Found a reason to live with much life to present ya
And I smiled once in a while
A poster child in the sidelines hoping to rile up their talent with a cap and gown
All I see is frowns, self destructive behaviors incriminating their own sailors to sink deep down
I know the feeling of being tired, I know the feeling of being tied up and shying trying to ignite more fire into the shine
Little lies, incorporating stricken words that sicken turns and lead to your demise
What I present is life bringing and essential to fulfillment
We require commitment to our souls in order to prevent them from taking what’s yours
This ain’t the word of man, these are cries from a poet of a distant land
Grassy features and honored preachers reach out with little deceiving
Cus when earth tilts we reach another season and with that we acquire new minds and new reasons
Solar beaming is a sign to keep breathing,
listen to these lines and keep increasing your steps
If peace is only in death, then what’s life when you’re living in a den
Locked away inside with nothing to prevent demons from getting beneath the bed
Since a kid the seed was planted, it was up to me to water, grow and expand it, it died some, lived some, but it still gives son
im not the man who sold the world rather I’m the man who finds solace in the war
And If I found it within then your bound to never put on a frown again
So open the door, get outta the shell and keep moving forth
Keep the vision on course in order to find your worth
Heartfelt verses from the core
This is me and I’m the judge of my own court
But I’m not a savior, just a prophet to bring you closure and containment
Yeah, sincerely yours.
