M.anifest - Essence lyrics

[Hook] Im not sure why, it took me so long To pick up this pen, and write you this song I knew it wouldn't be long before you came to visit me, again.. Now I shall fight with my pen.. [Verse:1] Its 5 in the morning but he already knew that So he disables his alarm once 4:42 pa**ed.. Hes been awake for a minute, no place for a gimmick Just natural motivational living with the space he was given, its.. Easy when its part a necessity, essential before desire Mighty important and vital Be the only subjects he touching on before quarter final Taking writing cla**es on weekends just to score a high note And protect his thesis, statement Believe in all of his achievements, greatness Is something he cannot seem to conceive its blatant Ive seen this, break him He bleeds till, vacant Yet be so, patient And more than capable of working under pressure Taking on more units than any regular student mentions Its a blessing depression didn't upset his credits Juggling between the idea of staying an artist or becoming a medic Forget it like his ex lady and baby he never had But its ok as long as its raining he'll take a bath And let he water run to his neck Worries of being educated and holding a check Required repetitive behavior like he f**ing with meth But somehow kept it drug free Sometimes consuming some weed but it ain't nothing Ima say its fate, his scars are stories of stones thrown In a gla** house yet he doesnt break The type of sh** that destroys a regular man he doesnt suffocate And when it comes to pain its too numb to explain Conformably numb, they say people are strange Rocking your pink floyd tee at the first meet of exchange Took the metro for our destinations to meet on a plane I know we crashed but parallel tracks wouldn't be able to meet anyway You taught me to be calm and showed me ways to give a f** And suddenly all i could feel was love, this sh** was real for us Yet the same questions remains What do you perceive in this world that you seek? Is your reason for living a meaning of one that you speak? And how much education does one really need to thrive In a ignorant world full of money and greed? But baby boy, dont let the odds haunt you Offer your odd conscious Raw and they all want you It takes pressure to make a diamond And with the same pressure Youre creating your time period without the sake of time in.. [Hook] X2 Im not sure why, it took me so long To pick up this pen, and write you this song I knew it wouldn't be long before you came to visit me, again.. Now I shall fight with my pen..
