I finally see the beauty of everything
And my imagination gives me wings here
With every breath that I take, that's when they flap
Yeah, I feel it I'm awake now
I feel it I'm awake, how much longer will it take
Now, now (now, now, now)
[Young Gliss]
I was raised by a single mother, always had my back though
Pops was around but he never could connect so
I was on my own, looking for that third option
That was always my thoughts while we're hot boxing
Just me and my n***as reminiscing about the old times
Like how the hood stick together through hard times
How the hood could take you as a body here
From walking such a thing line while we're here
Living life so close to death
Could leave you emotionless until there's nothing left
If you let it, that shit will bring you under
But you can use it just to make you stronger
'Cause struggle is what's going to feed your hunger
[And no matter?] how it shows
When you come from the bottom, they think you can't grow
Sometimes I close my eyes and just let it go
'Cause we're dealing with feelings that they'll never know

[Verse 2: Shane Chris]
I grew up, doing a lot of stuff, marijuana not enough
I had it good, it sucks if you had it rough
Can you find her hard to love, Our special place is over stars above
With pearly gates, a feast awaits that's where I'll meet my love
You know those stories that everyone thinks are made up, they're real
Straight up, and I never gave in or gave up
If you got something to say you might as well speak up
Speed up, past the speed of life
Nothing can keep up, I reach up, and grab the mic ripping the beats up
That's something lite, you know music is my life
I don't abuse you like a narcotic, I do this 'cause it's right
And everyone knows that I'm white, but I don't give a fuck
They treat me like their brother, and say man grab a cup
It's alright
