Why I'm here
May never know
Unafraid
I keep my soul
Yeah

They be scheming on decapitating emcees
I be thinking on them babies out in ISIS
When you living in the middle of a war land
And Americans on they mid-life crisis
When you rapping act like its just trying to chase a dream
Lucy make it lucid
Scared you gone die here
Without a title for the life that you claimed to lead
Death followed all along to name your time spent
Feel like I'm floating down a river
When I'm flowing I be trying to bank
Reach up to the edge and let it out to those who drowning
Swimming upstream
Main's overrated when you see the rank
Filing down
An army clownin slogans (slow gains)
They trying to preach
On my fast so I just can't w(a)eight no more
Patience
A virtue
So I'm working toward
Doctorate
Offering
A healing
When you black and a child and the stakes so high
Ain't never nothing on your plate
They done had run ins before
So they see it as a license
Pull you over
Then take you up state
I ain't never scared
All this evil in the world
I ain't unaware
I know the Bible told 'em
But they don't see His care
When you starin at the bottom of a bottle
Tryin to figure if you even worth a sparrow
You can never fly
But when I open my eyelids
I'm reminsicin on a time when
I was just an adolescent
Seeing blessing in the exploration of the earth as heaven
Now I'm heavy with the hurt of stressin over it
Tryin etch a sketch of my direction
If I eke out an existence that can echo why I'm steady growin here
But I'm guessin that we all learn in the process
And that's real

Tell me what it do
When you
See kings leave
And trade a crown for a season
Havin queens deemed meat for their appetite
Do you
Bite
The beef
Chase cheddar prayin better days arrive
Or
Divide
And conquer
Reignin everything in sight(incite)
Rebellion
Regardless of the skeletons you wanna hide
Lust for power back of mind like an animal
Instinct in sync to a seismographic angle
Of your placement
On this pavement
Know you'll shake the earth but can't quite illustrate it
Tryin paint a picture make it all worthwhile
And I ain't tryin save the world
Just take a mile
Inchin closer every breath when I see hope alive
Culmination when it ceases and my frame survives
Resurrection in a present space within the time
I was given
Inundated to deliver
Living water when the agua got em thirstin for the realness that could fully quench their cry
Just sigh
'Til a just silence server bigger than the small talk
Chalk up these lines
So the image come alive
I be dippin in the palette from the palace
Hopin princes see their purpose and position
To rise

Runnin with it in the middle of a couple folk that say get with the program
Not a rookie but I'm levels lower
Leverage my years to givin hope if I don't ever get an advance
Never seek a dotted line for connectin with the paper
Workin for my master if I never get a major
I been slavin but the bondage only got me elevatin
Playin Jack and tradin craft for social status ain't my makin
I' been makin every lyric like it just might be my last
Dodgin every demon that would keep me in the past
Dreamin of a future that will hopefully surpass
Less and less I listen to the voices and they ask
If I wanna be a rapper
To be honest I don't know
Half the time I write because I need it for my soul
Then I look at hip hop and I wonder what its for
When its over saturated with destruction that I won't
Make a difference but I kick it any whey
Protein (pro teen)
Prayin that they hear it and relate
And euthanize the old so the message get relayed
Feel I hold the baton like gold
With the ghouls
But my goal is to let em hear the faith
Hope, love, bring change
Do for three when the mic gets flamed
Ain't braggin I just emulate the Maker with the metaphoric play
Center stage
I came to bring reign
Been a drought no doubt
All your favorites prolly get it how they May
I'm in the 5 up at Ball State
Prayin God will make an Impact with the Cru (crew) that I hang
Esoteric lyric
Hear it ask me later
Favor labor over talent
Find the balance when I'm lookin at the new
Kicks will never satisfy the soul (sole)
Pray that my mind get renewed
