City Girl
I. The Letter
[Verse]
I'm in a dark place but I didn't want to make a depressing track
This reminds me of Mac
Defined by the fact that my mind is intact
Two acts to detract from the strength that I lack

Backtrack to the days when I didn't have a clue
What I wanted to do
Still in the same place
Same pace that I came in this race with
Some things can't be seen with mere LASIK

Traces of a younger me
Surprised my God isn't done with me
I've failed more times than a man can count
Chose to hide instead of standing out
Wanted to vanish while I had the advantage
But that would be selfish of me
Self-seeking, self-serving, self-centered
I've got it down to a tee

I'm a mess but I want to improve, that I promise
If nothing else know that I'll try to be honest
For more than myself and my people
I need to be greater than merely a sequel
To beautiful parents that made me the man I've become
As I stand on the lands of planet that's numb
To that damage that's done
Many mannequins posing
I'm chosen to stand for the Son
Little Anakin won, in the end
Many men try to divide but the truth overrules your opinion

Crash it, I don't have to live for the masses
Passive, try to find a rivet to fasten
Massive gashes open for longer than needed
Some of us chose to retreat
It's not hopeless If hope is preceded
By love and that love is a genuine feeling

I feel like the ceiling is lifted
I know that so many are gifted
But they don't all get to present it
Don't have to be in to win it
Have faith and stay in it
Some of us can't take it, and quit it

But please, even if it all falls down
Don't stall out, gotta call out
We can all shout, on the count of three
Say what you believe, take a look and see
Oh what would happen if we could unite
And the hate was erased what a beautiful sight
That would be, with the likeness of He
Who ignited the fight in us
Held in the highest esteem
Less alive in my dreams

Tired of sleeping so I chose to write this
Here duo in place of a slumber
With veins full of thunder
This pain is a strain when your sundered
My brain loves to aimlessly wonder of things
Neither here nor there

Some steal too much
Some still don't care
With a smeared on glare
Earphones blare
Drowning out all the mistakes and stares

Yeah, hope you decipher my delicate picture
It's signed, sealed, and delivered
This is a letter from richard
