Wrote This

[Intro]
These forces that often remake time and space
That can shape and alter who we imagine ourself to be
Begin long before we are born and continue after we perish

[Verse 1]
It's been a long time, since we're talking openly
I acted out so ya'll would notice me, I'm awkward socially
Was told I should find God, while holding these rosary beads
Seems everybody knows what we need, except for us
I just know I'm growing these seeds, they need some groceries
Please, it's so cold that we freeze, unless police said it
Then someone close to me bleeds uncontrollably
We get it, nobody's free, you pretend, for lost souls
My poetry breathes through my pen
And hopefully I see you again
Until then, I'll leave you with how deep you extend
And I'mma see you ascend from beneath you condemned
When telling Jesu your sins that's between you and him
And all the evil shit that we do's just a means to an end
This here's a preview, for friends and family that fell victim to the construct
They're in hell I'd share a cell with 'em for my conduct
Another product of a failed system ya'll just mock us
It's too hard to deal with realism I don't got much
Just wisdom I accquired through life, it burns inside you
They feel it in the fire you write, but words divide you
Let's pretend we try to unite the hate and the love
Imagine what we're capable of, and what's attainable
We'll make the unbreakable budge, at least eventually
Never be the same as it was, but if you let it be
It's better than breaking a bud and smoking chronic
Acting lackadaisical, buzzed, you'll go beyond it
I promise if I'm lying I'll die, it's so ironic
We kill ourselves trying to survive, that's why

[Hook]
Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with
Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid
But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused
Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this
For everybody stuck in a spot
That's why I wrote this
I know ya'll have suffered a lot
That's why I wrote this
All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody
Who's in need of a sign

[Verse 2]
As the drums hit, the one, and the one hits the two
This the dumb shit you do when you run with your crew
As a young kid, blunt lit, some sip of brew
Changes come quick, most of 'em will jump ship it's true
Like some punks it's confusing but it's like a right of passage
As we grow up like yo what, part of life is that shit
It's so fucked, I know but, you choose to fight the madness
Or you'll go nuts, like so what, the world's psychopathic
Diesel roll up, point a rifle at us like we're strapped, eating donuts
Harassing them 'cuz half my friends are black so we go buck
Wild like when animals attack as they show up
'Cuz either way they'll stab you in the back, I don't know much
I do know you take it in stride and keep building
Trying to find a way to survive for these children
Who always seem to imitate the pain that we feeling
When really they initiate the change so you can let it go
Get to know the inspiration gained and just let it grow
Otherwise you'll live today the same, Hey you never know
'Cuz with all this syndicated fame, and material wealth
We need some serious help with our priorities
As of now we're barely a shell of who we are to be
I think how each experience felt, and it's a part of me
That's how I stay real to myself, it's who you are to me
Not the whole appearance you sell, that shit is meaningless
Friends who care what you achieve like they need that shit
Will probably just say "fuck you" and leave
When you need your clique, the same ones that cut you
And bleed your ass dry, only in it for a piece of that pie
That's why

[Hook]
Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with
Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid
But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused
Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this
For everybody stuck in a spot
That's why I wrote this
I know ya'll have suffered a lot
That's why I wrote this
All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody
Who's in need of a sign
