[Verse 1]
I feel I had to take me back to where it all started
Lost a couple ones I love and then my heart departed
Been thinkin' different, seein' different, guess it's all the same
A little time before we return to the place we came
So I don't know if you ever consider what I'm on
Like if we came from eternity than what time we on
Sometimes I feel when my conscious puts me back into line
It's my eternal self cuttin' right through the hands of time
I got these visions, I come from another place and time
I seen some things that I guarantee make you lose your mind
Sometimes I wake up and wonder if I'm stuck in a dream
They say the life that you're livin, you're directin' the scenes
Got back to love and I started forgettin' about the cream
I swear that I ain't tryin, it's all comin' easily
I talk to God, He's the only one that can ease my soul
He told me He gon' use me to show you how it go, how it go

[Bridge]
Life is a hard teacher, uppercut, nosebleed
And everyone participatin', ain't nobody in the bleachers
I hope you got sneakers, it's gon' be a long one
So set your pace right, we in it for the long run

[Verse 2]
I seen 'em come and go, sprout quick and die slow
Some are overrated, others celebrated after though
In the afterglow, think `bout what you after, bro
Cause if it's cash and gold you gon' be one unhappy soul
I set my goal to have influence and ignite a change
There's not too many ones left who really `bout the same
They drop a pick and use lies just to meet at the gates
They ain't really bout the life we all hear that they claim
I see 'em try to use pawns, I know Jabba the Hutt
Trust that I broke through your code, still it's nothin' but love
Just understand the reaction you gon' face for your acts
That royal blood in my veins, it's a matter of fact
Yeah, and I ain't done, pour the gasoline
Make my bed in hell and Jesus took a nap with me
I talk to God, He's the only one that can ease my soul
He told me He gon' use me to show you how it go, how it go
