[Verse 1: Memnon]
Dirty shoes on my feet man
Yea, little stash in my Nike shoe box
Got enough to get a blunt rolled
Uh, just dutchin' along with my thoughts
Gotta do shows like gung ho
Nope, can't stop, little do you know I
Gotta purpose that you never really knew about
Manifested in the way a n***a go about
Life, get strong when I feel strife
Not wrong if it feels right, nice
Get a little bit of feedback like stop that
But you know a n***a still might
Yea, really wonder what it feels like
Getting everything I want, while I'm doing what I wanna
Right now I got nothin'
Why front for these muthaf**as
Shed a tear for my big cousin, cauuuuuse
[Hook: Memnon]
He know I'm stressin, yea
Yea, he know a lotta sh** done went wrong
But it's a blessing, yea
Some people never make it this far
I'll listen closer, yea
Get strong from the wind through the trees
It's all gonna make sense to me
Stand strong hoping one day you'll see
[Verse 2: Memnon]
Can I get a roll call for the good folk
I just wanna see my homies in a good place
I just wanna see a smile on my mom's face
Wanna send my grandmother to a new place
I discovered this perspective
It's a lot of other runners in the same race
Respect my introspection
To a lot of other people I'm in deep space
Because a f**in' education cost 100k
Uncle Sam not related 'til your taxes paid
Police never really make me feel safe
ID, where you going like a damn slave
Choked dead for some muthaf**in' Pall Malls
Went home, probably said he had a long day
No cost murder charge, couple weeks off
Us? In the car just for staring in the wrong way
[Hook: Memnon]
I know I'm stressin, yea
Yea, I know a lotta sh** done went wrong
But it's a blessing, yea
Some people never make it this far
I'll listen closer, yea
Get strong from the wind through the trees
It's all gonna make sense to me
Stand strong hoping one day you'll see
[Verse 3: Memnon]
Still, a student, though I'm running my Dojo
Coming for the crown, but the King was a no show
Activist, the blind eye is a no no
Cause orange is the new black, I'm f**in' with Soso
Gotta break free, some are telling me don't go
Scared as a b**h, man, they probably don't know
Broke mindset then you bought to be broke bro
I can see it all like I'm using the Go Pro
Hidden ancient cities, in the forests of Togo
My ancestors paid the penalty
Now I got a voice, and I'm using it fo sho
Damn, I'm hoping they remember me
Wow, lookin' at the life around
How can a Shaman be afraid of d**h?
NatureBoy, king of the walking trees
Run it back if you need, Strain Gang EMP
[Hook: Memnon]
I know I'm stressin, yea
Yea, I know a lotta sh** done went wrong
But it's a blessing, yea
Some people never make it this far
I'll listen closer, yea
Get strong from the wind through the trees
It's all gonna make sense to me
Stand strong hoping one day you'll see
