VERSE:
I’m feeling better today
Thankful I’m much more awake
I Needed some space
I think I was feeling a way
It wasn’t always so grey
But shit wasn’t always so great
Let me explain
I’m from a place where It's kill or be killed, or eye for an eye
You live by the sword you die by the sword but n***as want more, and that's why we live
That plus oppression and poverty lines got us on edge tryna to survive can't get a job but gotta provide thats we leading a life full of crime
A city we raised, the city forgot us
And never repaid, gentrification that left us displaced
A culture we made they tryna erase
Vultures that came and spat in our face
Despiting the fact that we facing a plague
Suffered enough through them slavery days
Suffering still, shit never changed, n***as get killed, n***as in chains
Broke on the wheel, just look at the news
Hanging from trees look it’s a noose
Exodus signs reflecting the truth
Children of Jacob collecting what’s due
Word to the wise and even the fools
Open your heart and learn to improve
You can’t undid the shit to undo
So learn to forgive and learn to remove
The demons inside that’s holding you close
Til next time, I let one go
Strengthen your mind, protect your soul
CHORUS (LEX):
Let your mind be free
Regardless what they choose to see
Strength comes from the valleys not the peaks
Take your time find peace
Stay true to who you wanna be
Salvation comes to those that believe
VERSE 2:
I always been different I know it
N***a I’m special I’m glowing
Sho nuff, I show up, a shogun
It’s killing them though and it’s showing
I’m weaving the hate like a sew in
Freezing these days it’s snowing
When it all turn so cold?
Or was it just me and I never noticed
All of this evil it’s tougher to focus
All of this suffering getting me anxious
All of these problems that I want to solve
But know that I’m lacking the tools, patience
Voice, money and time I hate it
Sit back and study what God created
Praying that there really is a life after death and faith will grant salvation
Reading the pages of book Revelations, how does it end, I’m looking for clues
Feeling like Steve, that’s word to Blue
This shit a breeze, that’s word to drew
A kid in my city was killed in the fourth
He was eleven, fuck do we do?
We don’t come together I promise we’ll lose
This spiritual war, which side do you choose
Righteous or evil, the choice up to you
Word to the wise and even the fools
Strengthen your heart and learn to improve
You can’t undid the shit to undo
So learn to forgive and learn to remove
The demons inside that’s holding you close
Til next time, I let one go
Strengthen your mind, protect your soul
CHORUS x2 (LEX):
Let your mind be free
Regardless what they choose to see
Strength comes from the valleys not the peaks
Take your time find peace
Stay true to who you wanna be
Salvation comes to those that believe
