We all know life can get hectic
|
But if you live in the second,
|
You exist in the present
|
And that's how you stay connected
|
Go through good times and hardships
|
And if you learn to accept it
|
And know that every struggle in life,
|
Is there to teach you a lesson
|
It's times like this that make you
|
It's always the darkest part of the night, before the sun has it's break through
|
The spirits will knock you down,
|
But if you make that the end
|
You will never know the beauty
|
Of being able to stand up again
|
And face it, with patience,
|
The Pace set is Deliant [?]
|
With judgements and hatred,
|
Repressed hopeless feelings
|
But I've been told,
|
You only create your own ceilings
|
Life is limitless,
|
And knowing this is what the spirit is
|
|
That's why I try to inhale deep, so I can find peace, and essence can find me
|
That's why I lose myself in these beats,
|
Let myself become one with the drum and set myself free
|
|
Whatever direction life leads me,
|
There is a purpose behind it
|
That's the way it was supposed to be
|
And any time you can turn over a new leaf
|
Y'all know the truth,
|
It's up to us to use the key
|
Been three years since my first album dropped
|
It's been fear that's really got me stuck on the spot
|
Not wanting to put out anything whack
|
So inside of putting licks on my tracks,
|
I put my lips to a sack
|
It's easier to spend your life drunk,
|
And high on drugs
|
Than to put everything on recording,
|
And put it out to be judged
|
We look for the audience,
|
To put their hands up in love
|
But when they put their hands down,
|
Our confidence really takes the plunge
|
So instead of putting out,
|
Something people might not like
|
I traded my mic in for the pipe
|
I lived the college life,
|
Drinking and smoking every day
|
Rationalizing to myself,
|
That I was going through a phase
|
Then I stopped,
|
Thinking my music would take it's place
|
But when you live in fog,
|
Inspiration is hard to create
|
It takes more to get connected,
|
Than to quit smoking every day
|
And when I get frustrated I get a Swish,
|
And get blown away
|
Then all of a sudden it hit me,
|
These kids are listening
|
If I'm not making music,
|
Then why the fuck am I existing
|
How can I talk about the problems,
|
Of some one else
|
When I don't have the motivation,
|
And confidence to change myself
|
It's been so long since I really truly felt
|
What it's like to live without substances to help
|
[?]
|
With addiction in my blood,
|
I play the cards I was dealt
|
The wind is the most calm,
|
Right before the storm
|
And when you least expect it,
|
It doesn't rain, it pours
|
I swear to God you can never be warned
|
Because with or without that umbrella
|
Nature is still gonna take it's course
|
|
That's why I try to inhale deep,
|
So I can find peace, and it can find me [?]
|
That's why I lose myself in these beats,
|
Put away the weed, And turn to my MPC [?]
|
|
C'mon'
|
If I could change, I would change
|
If I could change, I would change
|
If I could change, I would change
|
If I could change, I would change
|
