Look, when's Lee's turn to shine?
What's Lee's state of mind?
Chaotic thoughts, pressures to be big
As K Dot, Maybach, s'why you always
Stay sharp, flicking through TV
Hoping to see me saying, "Hey, mom"
But what's a reality, a fallacy?
Ain't nothing more?
Do you see the potential I see in me
Down in my core?
Can you glimpse within my dreams and visions
Breaking the systems of a heritage
That states I'm displaying a
Failures symptoms?
Sometimes I just say things to say them
Without serving a real purpose
Maybe I'm just complaining
About how my blessings are actually a disservice
See, what they wanted was some
Boom-bap, rude rap! Caught up in
The mood trap, bringing the whole crew back
Who's that? I could be
Everything that I imagine
If only fear of the unknown wasn't a habit
Spazzing, gasping
Head beneath the waters it was
Tragic, drastic
Could've died that day if my father hadn't
Seen me grasping, asking, for
A second chance to touch the sky
Once more, part of me wishes
It never happened
But what's the point, cruel world?
We escape the pain within our sleep
No teenage angst, lots of us
Just tryna find dreams
Racking out our minds and knocking our brains
What come back are echoes of regret
That reverberate through veins
And I never thought that dead weight would
Haunt me until the morning
I never thought a gun shot could
Pierce the night with mourning
Never crossed my mind that my father
Could lose his brother, rather
Don't we think that it would happen to someone other?
Is it bad if we wish it?
Is it bad if we're all selfish?
I guess not, being raised by
The descendants of Ellis
Seems like a bridge of words would
Never mend the differences
Judgements we pa**ing down will
Always stay images
This the ramblings of someone who's always had something
I really wish I could understand having nothing
But everyone has had pain, everyone has felt hurt
Is the lack thereof really worth?
Fear comes to frutition. It looks like it's the end
And we can carry all the burdens till we somehow amend
Really hope there's always a happy ending
Then again, maybe we should stop pretending
Then again...then again
