What happens when the walls drop |
|
The lies and the disguises and the small talk |
|
That cover up the pain and the shame and the bald spots |
|
We're runaway trains what happens when it all stops |
|
Artists drop gems that ring false rocks |
|
We shouldve got those calls blacked like Alstott |
|
We're feedin our mind from the tree in Eden |
|
Lately I've been reading what paul taught - freedom |
|
That's what we all want... |
|
(Relic The Oddity) |
|
I wanna be on a level of skill |
|
That's gold medal |
|
But still I'm unsettled like |
|
Clogs man - those are some hard shoes to fill |
|
Especially when the pressure on and the lights is off |
|
Me and my wife's just tryin to pay bills |
|
And keep my son occupied |
|
And keep the stocking filled when the holidays arrive |
|
I try to be a good provider |
|
Successful on the spiritual side but made a mess |
|
When it came to my debts |
|
Now let's take a lesson from it |
|
I stand on the summit of sums that reflect |
|
The lesser things that I've wanted in life |
|
I don't want to be haunted by my decisions |
|
I'll admit balancing wants and needs comes with a price |
|
And I'm paying it twice |
|
First with the cards, second with the interest |
|
It ain't that nice |
|
I've been blessed so I guess I know what's right |
|
What I really want is peace from God and insight |
|
It's what we all want, right? |
|
Yo it's hard to be, |
|
Man it's hard to just be |
|
Especially with this artistry it's hard to be |
|
Black and not be a hard emcee or r&b |
|
And that's cool if that's you but |
|
What if all you are is me? |
|
Man start the beat cause all my heart can see |
|
Is a dark and bleak |
|
Night sky painted on my mind so I spark this speech |
|
Like stars to bleed light when it's hard to see |
|
More than guitars and being down with a label that can |
|
Market me I've scarred my knees |
|
Praying hard for peace of mind and a heart that's free... |
|
Cause yo - that's what we all want... |
