CheVon - World Around Me lyrics

[Produced by Philippe Edison] [Intro: ChéVon] Yeah, and I go by the name of ChéVon The Radiant Child, uhuh [Verse 1: ChéVon] I wanna thank y'all for the love that I've been given Brought me back when my Max. lost it's transmission Related it to my drive the days I lost my ambition Now I got the crowd, bumping to my vision Brought me to the first time I heard It Was Written And if I ruled the world, I'd release all my kinsmen They said my dreams deferred, it's absurd, I was gifted with words Not a minister, but I speak beliefs you concur I give you ether each verse 24/7 I'm awake, I can sleep in my hearse That's the day I'm pushing daisies And lift from this curse Because daily, polices are shady I'm no coward, that's just how my mama raised me They say that I'm preaching The streets listen to our families weeping Know that these n***as are creeping Taking souls to get even Haunted day and night and troubled by demons Heard a lil homie murdered last weekend As they ask what I believe in.. [Hook: ChéVon] I believe in fate, I believe in God I believe in humans, we just never do our jobs Every day's a struggle, we're just tryna beat the odds Seen the world around me, mama praying that I dodge [Verse 2: ChéVon] Now before you get your name on a bullet Thinking bout your future, it's a shame that you couldn't Now you seem lost and it seems nobody's looking All you have is thoughts, funny how you paid the cost When it wasn't meant for you If his day went great, then he probably wouldn't shoot There would be no morning news But in life you win or lose, some battle you can't choose Looking to the sky, asking what can God do But we never ask ourselves, continue to stack our pride Like it's trophies on a shelf n***as that's down to ride, but none of them down to help First time I stepped outside, I was never told it's hell Now I'm confined in this world that we live Slowly figured out some adults are grown kids He was just a child, simple to of mice and men Saw his n***as, cracked a smile Only just to wish it jammed See the world in my eyes Just to wonder who I am.. [Hook: ChéVon] I believe in fate, I believe in God I believe in humans, we just never do our jobs Every day's a struggle, we're just tryna beat the odds Seen the world around me, mama praying that I dodge [Verse 3: ChéVon] The streets are watching, cops are coming Get pots and cover, as shot will wander We plot on brothers, stop each other Forgot our mothers, forgot our sisters Forgot to listen, forgot our vision Remember we never had a pot to piss in Yet they expect optimism Opt for television Then blame Wayne, for how hot the block is getting Where's my redemption To only touch a soul is my intention The people are my religion And so I put faith in them Whisper these hymns And give these false fication of problems We are free to them Now go and tell your children Along with a smile is a Radiant Child!
