[Hook]
The melody of this song is my soul singin'
I can try to act strong but the beat got me ringin'
Beneath the layers of our armour that is our skin
Lies something fragile that can be blown by the wind but I'm gon' win
Can you feel the beat the ba** is my heartbeat
Long as the music is playin' I can't and won't be beat
So it's press play all day as I fight the system
I'll survive and thrive you can't take away my rhythm
[First Verse]
This my cocoon, I'll be a bu*terfly soon
Naw f** that incarnate now
Any other moment than now is procrastination
Wrap the gift all you want but if you're unable to open the present
You're headin' for devastation
When life gets hard it calls for me to besoft
When heavy sh**'s 'bout to be flipped on that's when I gooff
Yeah I give it to ya many times have Ilost
But I am and will never be defeated 'til love exhaust
Not gon' lie I was debatin' whether or not to replace 'love'
With 'my name' but inner whisper gained and told me
That's ego which only leads to the chamber of evil
Truth doesn't arrive in fanfare brother just simple no regal
Then it hit me with strength of epiphany
That every decision we make has potential to hold us back or help us grow
Homies be askin' me why I'm always at the studio
I tell 'em life is nothin' but reapin' what you sow
Life the river we the boat wake the result
So by process of elimination actions be the row, so let's row
[Chorus]
[Second Verse]
Get rich or die tryin' but for me it's live your life or die tryin'
Live to the point of tears but why ain't I cryin'?
I think it's the anger which oils my gears with my sweat
Leaves no reservoir for my tears like out of tape for the ca**ette
b**h, whatever you throw at me I'll come back stronger
Every moment I make the choice to not be a victim any longer
Never give up I will swingin' 'til I die homie that's it
Utilize setbacks in such a way that the further I get
And in case you didn't know the b**h I'm talkin' 'bout is life
Who I love so dearly even with all the joy and strife
No matter how rugged the road I tread lightly doin' nice
Which is why nothin' gets in my hair, too clean for lice
Honestly I wrote this song just for me to inspire me
To achieve my goals I gotta be kind of selfish I can't help it
But if you relate use it as fuel as you go your way
But the best anyone can do is to let them chips fall where they may
[Hook]
[Third Verse]
My process be like the process of the bu*terfly
Pain, anger, struggle, hustle is the caterpillar right
When I get to creatin' that's the stage of metamorphosis
What's the cocoon?
That's what the heart gut feeling and inner voice is
That's where I'm at right this moment but tomorrow that can change
Regarding limits of the spirit homie there's no range
Musically it's a different story what you hear's the bu*terfly
And it's the kind where when you hold on to it's wing, you take flight
[Hook]
[Chorus]
