Luminescence Peers Thru Their Confinement
[Intro]
I was born into this world to share men's pain
[Verse 1]
I clutch the guilt like it's my only child
And that blocklist make it hard to reconcile
Thumbin' through the album money
What's the price of trauma
Yeah we youngins so they talk
Like it's just minor drama
But I know that pain be sticking trust I know it well
Torment from those days in beggary reveal their selves
All them stories 'bout mistreatment made me wanna slide
Prayin' I could be forgiven
'Cause I was steady wishin' that those n***as died
Was all that rage just compensation cause I'm in they image
Told me be the bigger man and trip 'bout my deliverance
And I tried to listen
N***as fighting demons with no ammunition
Four corners closing in and I'm wondering what it costs
Foreshadowin' the moments that I coulda lost it all
[Bridge]
O, what remembrance it has along with illuminations of light
[Verse 2]
One could observe the light from crevasses of horrid infrastructure
Greeted me with second languages, considered me a brother
Flinched at hospitality, told me to fear not
He could sense the bodily aches and the hate-filled rot
The scars upon my knuckles, digestion of toxicity
He offered me a lesson through perspectives of soliloquy
The hardship, disenfranchised like the rest of us
Yet he made a point to tell me how to make the best of it
Everyone around you seeks the answer within capital
Obvious the stresses have arisen from the lack of it
But nothing's instantaneous
And when it's just you and the book, will you prepare yourself to snatch
The chance of having it
I offer you a path of composure
A path in which you'll never make the matters worse when it begins to boil over
Foretold a world in in which I could trudge through it all
Before I ever walked, I had to learn about the Kraal
[Outro]
O what remembrance it has along with illuminations of light
Repeat after me, say
Alright so repeat after me
