[Verse 1]
You say you heard a lot about me
I wanna know every word
I know them gums that like to flap like the wings of a bird
I know them lips could sink a battleship when rumors get stirred
I know that feeling when there's two slots and you finish in third
I know that feeling and I know worse
My feelings like a damn curse
I feel it in the air, the smell of death, and it sure hurts
I know what I know 'cause I been through it
My heart been trampled so much, I lost count, I need a new one
But I know that the hurt don't last forever
Might be end of the world for now, but later it's whatever
And I know that it's better to feel something than never
I'm in my era of causing tremendous tremors
Periods are never at the end of my lines
Just hit return 'cause I got more to say, pressing for more time
Aligning my mind and body to be right with my soul
At the end of life, I wanna be right with Jehov'
I remember the days when we were close
When everything God touched turned into gold
But now it's all copper, not proper
No options, no stopping, I'm runnin', not walkin'
Uh, still I'm Heaven-sent
Even God's angels probably gotta pay the rent
I whip a Honda, probably never could afford a Benz
I parrot off ya, Polly want a cracker and a spliff
Homebody, hit the kitchen, open up the fridge
I eat a square of Orissa and now I'm taking trips
Feeling pretty official, they tack my stripes on
Long way from the dorms, I always kept the lights on
Everything I wanted, I got it
Had to fight for it, 'cause a loss was not an option
So I'ma take the punches as they come
Waiting 'til I get my moment in the sun
[Chorus]
I see a face in the water
I feel the rain fall, it's washing me over, over
I sunk my feet in the torrent
I see the clouds part, I wait for my moment
My moment

[Verse 2]
Searching for my shelter through the storm
Searching for a seat that I could warm
All the while a baby boy is born
And at the same time, another baby boy is killed
For his pair of shoes, a tweaker fiending for a meal
Rappers out here, they be fiending for a deal
Labels tweaking, asking for your soul, so sign your will
Devil in disguise, he got your back 'cause he your homie
But he gon' stab you in it, leave you washed up and lonely
I walk around like everybody know me
But nobody familiar, everybody miss the old me
Everybody in the shade, don't nobody see the light
Empty in the mid of day, everybody out at night
So blinded, what's your purpose? Go find it
Everybody on track to a 9 to 5 dead-end
Co-signing coke rhyming, love violence
'Til that same lifestyle end with you losing your best friend
Black lives still matter, you just don't post no more
Busy hailing your new corporate overlords
I did the same, I did my time inside my mental prison
Until the healing that I prayed for came to fruition
The world is toxic, and peace is unresponsive
Until we can acknowledge our sins, we can't be flawless
"How are you feeling?" Fine, I walk with a mask on
Two whole years, I didn't think it'd take that long
Guilty conscience weighing on me, just like the past did
But if I don't move on, I'm just gon' finish in last, kid
My eyes are open, let's come together as one
Waiting 'til we get our moment in the sun
[Chorus]
I see a face in the water
I feel the rain fall, it's washing me over, over
I sunk my feet in the torrent
I see the clouds part, I wait for my moment
My moment in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
