Nighttime Safari - The Voice lyrics

Verse 1: I found my voice like I was Adam Levine But to truly understand you know you have to rewind So let me set the scene... Silence Thats what it was like when I was asked to give them my sense Cause they told me that my two cents was a nuisance So I wanted to speak up, but didn't want to become a part of their amusements Or worse, this dude said "Man its gon' get violent And I was like "woah, I'll just chill in the corner and be silent So then my brains dichotomy is that I ought to be audibly Speaking out for camaraderie, like man you know I gotta be But then this other part of me decides otherwise And this arguably the reason for my demise As I divert my eyes and in turn shut my mouth People needing living water but they were stuck in a drought But I was putting it up or I was shutting it out Cause they told me this was something that I knew nothing about Chorus: Every beat, every moment Is a time that I have chosen To rise up and find it, find the voice Hear the sound in the silence Hear the song as its rising No more hiding, to find the voice Verse 2: I could tell you stories but it didn't matter the circumstance Matter fact it didn't even matter their certain stance Cause anytime that they were attacking my pertinence I was off in the corner doing a certain dance Trying hard not to step on some toes Any thoughts I had, man I kept on some flows So I liked rap so thats what I decided to do I wanted that final check of approval on the side of the shoe (Swoosh!) So I could just do it and prove it, I was good at this music And infuse it, with the very thoughts that introduced it Cause their was a whole culture that I was soon to find That truly found a voice of empowerment through the rhyme I found identity in a entity that didn't have the same skin as me They said that I was whack and I was attacked by the enemy I was being me and they would hate me for it Masterpiece but saw me as the paint and they would penetrate me for it ... but I ain't tryna get dunked on CHORUS Verse 3: So at first this music help me soar Then there came a time when I fell to the floor And as I lay there wounded on the ground This is where the only voice I needed would be found So I found boldness in the one who leads me He spoke through me and this voice came easy So I know its tough for us to climb that ladder But don't ever let them tell you that your mind don't matter I am asking you to free your mind, stray from all evil I'm never going back cause I don't want to see a sequel Eleanor Rigby, I see all the lonely people I'm doing this for them, I know we all solely equal I want to hear your voice drown out the silence From the bottom to the top of them highlands And if anyone ever tries to tell you not to Thats just another reason that you got to CHORUS
