[Hook]
They will stop ya only if you let 'em do
Clues all around you just look at what Nancy Drew
Muthaf**in' system tryin' but won't kidnap Muse
Immobile, paralyzed if within's Capulet & Montague
[First Verse]
It's been too long hittin' two weeks since I've written anything
Situations just been keeping me busy but don't get me wrong there's no 'sang'
'cause I sing s**a long as sorrow's clinging I be singing
Drenched with love and ambition the music's just part of the wringing uh
Yeah sh**'s been tough but that don't mean in the slightest I'm givin' up naw
No flexin' I hope you realize I'm doin' this for y'all
Spit it to ya raw, f** tryna' sound clever
Two weeks don't sound long but to an MC that's similar to forever
College student who knows institutional academia is not for him
But got family to live for so he can't just live according to his whim
Got to balance, make sure he got options multiple baskets
Wisely distributes his eggs but can you really prepare for when life cracks it?
So what can you do to make sure you survive through?
Don't wanna be like them dudes who thought they would fly but never flew
This is the answer for him it may be different for you
Follow your bliss
Do it everyday
Never lose sight of goal
Keep realism in view
[Hook]
[Chorus]
Yeah, troublin' times seem to keep me down
To tell you the truth I don't know what has me 'bove the ground
Yeah, difficult times gift waves strength of pounds
I wish I could tell ya what keeps me from kissing Drown
Take your lies and strip 'em to the bone
Now I rather be lost then found
To be found is to be lost ain't it funny how that sounds?
Recognize life in past and future turn us servants
Only serves to bound
Key to being free is found in the now
[Second Verse]
You know what you're doing is right if you feel wrong when you don't do it a long time
When nothing touches ya but you feel it hard right on the jaw line
I'm not talkin' 'bout the kind where addiction is the hardline
But the energy in us all, utilize the potential it is God's sign
Not the god we were raised on
Not the god in the propaganda
But the universal energy in everything so f** this veranda
Say whatchu want s**a, it's how I feel
If this offends you it just shows your fear of truth bein' revealed
I'm a soldier but of a different kind where I'm my own commander at the same time
Fighter for the People but to the system I'm a villain committing the worst crime
Don't care 'bout cents(sense) not in it for the dollar but I'm droppin' dimes
Won't get it intellectually only way's to intertwine with the divine
[Hook]
[Chorus]
