M.anifest - Hercules lyrics

[Verse 1: Bodi] Not every storm cloud's got a silver lining But you gotta have the darkness to see the sun shining And sometimes sh** just happens And all you can do is control your reaction It's all pa**in, the beautiful and tragic It's an act of vanishing magic When lines in the hourgla** sand are drawn And you can't take a picture, it's already gone This goes beyond carpe diem Now's all you have til the eyes closed leavin Ain't always meanin in the plotline schemin Too busy breathin that the truth is make believe in Yourself, but, take the body shots Fight like a bull in a china shop It's never gonna stop Life is a test until the quiz goes pop to stand [Hook: Bodi] Up, there's no shame We all fall down like drops of rain to Stand, up, I do the same May forget the face, but they won't forget the name when you stand (2x) [Verse 2: Bodi] Some days you're the pigeon, in others the statue But you can't control what attacks you Black blues how you're gonna be left Sometimes. You can't stay on your chest Never expect a hand to pull you vertical Vertigo riddles, you can't take it personal When people would rather see you fall than fly Why you think there's so many bullet holes in night's sky? Shootin stars, they wish on, cause they don't wanna be The only victim of the prison of gravity See kids rip their wings out their vertebrae Just to stick below the clouds with the other birds of prey Cause that ain't freedom Freedom is refusin the bullsh** they're feeding Making the most of the world before leaving And marching to the sunset no matter when you're leaving to stand [Hook] [Verse 3: M.anifest] Yo, see, I go hard on this journey down for that dope sound Not an attorney, but legally I stay bound To the words I utter, I don't stutter now Even though a legion of [?] trying to bring me down The road less traveled, the challenge unravels And the last straw coulda broke the back of the camel I could swim across the English Channel Emerge dry as a drub and then put on my flannel Pants, or maybe trousers, yep, the beat arouses Moving on strong make the weak say wowzers We build houses filled with many dreams and goals Some moments sugar free like sweet and lo Still we on a roll trying to make the honor roll An African noble and admirable I could put my own soul as collateral Fo sho, I pay calm on what I owe
