[Verse 1]
Never the optimist
I opt to walk with fist clenched
Devilish ideas permeate room like burnt incense
At four decks, some might consider a career finished
'Nuff frustration in these veins for infinite writtens
I'm just beginning
This path has always felt more of a mission
Misguided adults pretending to have answers for seeds
On the real B, they sh**tin'
Only lesson I've learnt? Nobody listens
And that's a shame considering caliber content already witnessed
Taste forever shifting as existence is subjective
Most will miss the message
But it's there in every sentence
Hope to raise a generation of questions
A full brigade of dissension
Expect to endure lifetimes of tensions
My heroes are barely mentioned
And perhaps obscurity is where I'm destined
But while I'm here I continue to speak in absence of fear
Formulating ideas indifferent to social norms
Willing to explore more
Consider yourselves warned!
[Chorus]
It ain't gon' be alright
We ain't gon' win
There ain't no happy ends
There just is
[Verse 2]
What we have is the haves and the have-nots
The beefs and the gunshots
The good and the bad thoughts
What brought us here to hear has been drowned out by a cacophony of fear
What's stopping we is fear
Left with a million I's helplessly watching
Denying our subconscious
f** sparring, we born boxing
These toxic levels of discourse
Leaves us with no recourse
We forced to those shadows that whisper our names
Perhaps we are all the same
But somehow it seems some are just seedier
Systematic lack of compa**ion towards the needier
We are so enamored with that illusion of freedom
Mistook that asphalt for Eden
Odds are even that we all leave not breathing
Without an ounce of true meaning
Once we gone, ain't nobody grieving
Sunrise, sunset
Change seasons
Just cause
No rhyme
No reasons
[Chorus]
It ain't gon' be alright
We ain't gon' win
There ain't no happy ends
There just is
There just is
There just is
There just is
