[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Keep this quick
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Many lifetimes, many lifetimes
What am I to say ? What am I to - ugh
Wisdom in my genes, love has been serene
I know what it feels like to see a dream
Deferred
Langston, 24 when they killed Trayvon
25 when I got my first crib
As I questioned what my worth is
What is work when you feel worthless?
Had to learn on how to piece it altogether
Put some others before I was ever checked up
If it’s for the better, God don’t еver let up
If it’s for more I for onе will let it all go
Come to crossroads many ways I can take it
Triggered when I feel I’ve been mistaken
My flaws I’ve embraced 'em
Even when I feel like God’s favorite
I trace this back to the source
Asking for direction, how do I enforce?
Sat in this complexion, hazards come with sores, ugh
Turn up on a n***a ruthless
Some things fate, some clueless
Somethings lie where the truth is
Somethings lie where the *sucks teeth * - shit
You a bitch n***a if the shoe fits
20 something I was bugging over being number 1 above rap’s Ruth Chris
Now it’s fuck these n***as, I do I 'til the tides move nicely
Inner child felt too pricey, let it go, need it back kindly

[Poem]
Yeah
They say the truth lies where the lies stopped the truth
Things we learned outta necessity
When love wasn’t an option, our ego took control
We hit walls that ask us to stop hitting
While God plays devils advocate
Sending Angels to deliver messages our senses either perceive or fall deaf to
I’ve experienced death too
Silenced for my wisdom
Fear of being shut down
Denied by the same ones I’ve accepted
I’ve seen up & close how compassion can turn into aggression
Affection to deception
Remaining present to obsessive reflection
This isn’t meant to raise objection, more provoke questions
Like where do our smiles go?
Is the darkness a place of refuge?
Or a consequence of life’s lessons?
Are we here to get it right?
Or learn with all our might?
I died in uncertainty
But more than that
Light was present when the heavens sent birth for me
That’s why there’s an urgency
To grow
