lyrics

I’m just trying to be better than I’ve been
Sit down settle & read
Absorb the message & teach
Deal with the pressure and lead
By example
But they don’t want to let a man breathe
Life is beautiful dark & brief
Pay attention to the patterns & themes
Don’t forget that you’re getting what you give out
& there is nothing you can’t keep
You’re worshiping p
I’m working for peace
Walking with kings
Worshiping queens
Even though things are far from perfect
That’s not an excuse I’m working on me
Works with no sleep
Working OT
I do works they don’t see
They work hard to look like they’re working
But that won’t work for me.

We fall
We learn & we grow
& pray we see home
& the more we learn the less that we know
A little rain isn’t nothing
That’s how the seeds grow
Some pain we keep close
We’re all on the path that we chose
And that’s how the things go

Buying tings,but not paying the bills
Linking girls trying to find the feel
I done a lot of things that could of got a man killed
So everyday I thank god foreal
I reflect & often I will
Think about all the bruddah s lost in ideals
Stuck in their ways,one way to be real
I pray that your dreams get forfilled
& im praying that you feel how freedom feels
Free from the fear of yourself & wield
The powers that you’ve been blessed with
Don’t think your path is signed & sealed
I know that not giving a shit is a shield
Swerving all emotions & feels
You won’t show the world who you are
Becuase you feel safer when it’s all concealed
I get it,yep yeah I do
Too scared to win,there’s too much to lose
It’s never the right time,there’s too much to do
Don’t need nobody else,becuase you have got you
I get it,yep yeah I do
It’s better to stay safe & don’t make a move
It’s better to save face & don’t face the truth
Stay stuck in the same place & won’t change your views
Change is the only constant
The one who understands that,prospers
I’m free in this world that these man are lost in
I broke out when I felt boxed in
Getting to the money is essential
But you gotta think about what it’s costing
Becuase gaining something
But losing yourself is that start of problems

We fall
We learn & we grow
& pray we see home
& the more we learn the less that we know
A little rain isn’t nothing
That’s how the seeds grow
Some pain we keep close
We’re all on the path that we chose
And that’s how the things go
