Light recognize light, real recognize real Birds of feather, they flock together I'm blessed by association And thus surround myself with great men Let me explain things T.W.I.S.T. was born at a time of crisis The same year I escaped DYFS, with my three sisters Firstborn, I'm the son of Kénol And through the hood, I went through it all Today we call it trauma By the grace of God I'm a survivor And stand tall, though I had my falls And shed my tears The many fears I overcame, I'm so thankful I praise God, and I thank you Politely pass on a redo The darkness I had to see through The strong man I had to be too With God's spirit in my temple I fly in circles like the wind do My soul I flies through the window I'm in the spirit world that I been to Be authentic, and be yourself In your authenticity there's the greatest of wealth Be true to your cause, be your very best self Living your best life, as you walk your walk It's so cold outside The blood on the streets, where my people die And bodies lie, I seen a young man cry He cries for deliverance, he asking why Who got the answers, to life's many questions See the sun shine, but we still be stressing Walk in the light, but it's still depressing Breathe in the air, but is learned no lesson The wise mans speaks with the words of wisdom Sent by God to replace the system Knowledge and truth, in the fruit He gives them Who know not what they do, Father forgive them Behold from the windows of my soul the grief As the tears roll down, can I find relief I lost 2 best friends and it hurt me deep My father, and grand parents they are all asleep Be authentic, and be yourself In your authenticity there's the greatest of wealth Be true to your cause, be your very best self Living your best life, as you walk your walk I see y'all dealing with luck, bring it, I'm star struck For you are star dust, and to the star dust Your body shall return, you're a child of the stars A child of the pearls, and to infinity I speak to different world, and beyond that Are you kidding me, my words speak imaginary Like blood flowing through your kidney I'm the epitome of being in the state of mind that I be And I be, who I be, what I be I know you feeling me, my rap flow differently It's the Newark Brick City up in me, we think uppity For you to see, put this verse on repeat From the heavens to the streets From the heavens to the streets Then from Adam to atoms It's all the same be, I'm still the same g And He the same God, happy I'm part of the squad Be authentic, and be yourself In your authenticity there's the greatest of wealth Be true to your cause, be your very best self Living your best life, as you walk your walk To contemplate the essence of life is heavy mental To comprehend how our neurons fire is monumental Deoxyribonucleic acid is never passive Generation after generation, they still active What you consider your thought patterns, intents and motives Reflects the will of your ancestors God has chosen The current system in place survives beyond death And though our loved ones are gone, they live within our breathe Their genes are found in our bodies, and manifest profoundly What's done is done, it is so done, we the chosen Chosen to walk in glory, chosen to tell the stories Of those who came before me In continuity, fluidly I reflect my father I'm a reflection of my father's wave Though he's in the grave, his y-chromosome Spits on this microphone, I am not alone Let His truth be known, and God's light be shone, for real The ancestors used to say, mache mache ou, which means walk your walk God gives every human being a distinct path to walk in life Don't get lost on your path and lose yourself I put my trust in Almighty God Even the fractals of reality reflect his majesty
