Kelly portis - Looking Gla** lyrics

[Intro] I'm in a room and all I see are lights around me.. Neon lights [Verse 1] Yo, behind the gla** I see my past, chasing me with a mask See I was birthed upon the stage The world threw me a parade Clouding the sunshine of the spotless mind See I'm sorta like the fine wine I get better with time I was birthed upon the dreams of men the Lord gave me a sign Gave me the gift to shift the culture Now I'm spitting so divine I walk a fine line with the reaper right behind me The devil trying to blind me so I gotta move timely I blow tracks like ménage à trois back shots Hand co*ked, on Wall Street trying to make my cash drop I took a bus told em wake me at the last stop A ticket in my hand I look behind me there's a blind spot The road I see before me I pictured in my past thoughts Guided by my actions now I'm searching for a new response Why such a lonely face? I'm in a lonely place Where people judge you, claim they love you Now let me plead my case I'm like a blind Moses trying to find out where he's going A boat with sails and no wind and paddles to keep rowing I surf the waves of time just to find out where I'm flowing While the ma**es ketchup this mustard seed is still growing Searching for a higher purpose gotta watch out for these serpents Living behind the closed curtains trying to throw me in the furnace.. I swear these n***as they don't concern us Barefooted through the fire, just to fulfill my purpose Take a walk, a skip and shuffle past the gla** through the rain Just to ease the pressure bearing on my right brain The visions blurry treading still trying to find my path But I stay haunted by one of the ghosts of the past.. [Verse 2] Tell me there's a way out, how long do we have to live here? The first chance I'm telling you n***as I'm outta here I'm drowning in a city, my nose can barely find the air Have you felt like a robot that's always out of gear? Trapped in a confession that's been pressing my ascension Something's telling me to leave that I can't handle the pressure This reoccurring vision, telling me to listen Telling me that I should follow inside this burning feeling As the lions eat the lambs in the land of God's children As we try to set our marks to climb higher than the ceiling Compared to a sad clown who's world is tumbling down I flagged down a cab to drive me to the other side of town.. Build your hearts, build your mind, build a revolution So ahead of time I skipped two steps in evolution Like novacaine I swear to God you never feel us Real recognize real and all I see is smoke and mirrors From the lights to the shade the background in which we fade You either build or be destroyed just the way we live our days.. I was lost in maze, where I set the world ablaze Where they tried to box me in, wicked men in high places Disguised as smiling faces, lost like the generations Pray to God for his graces.. I got this sh** on my mind, and when I die put my mind in a shrine..
