You know honestly, it just seemed like it would last forever I'd be stuck in the past and locked out of heaven And somehow I came upon this peculiar thing And somehow some way my heart sings the song of the wise It brought me from a kid on substances To a beautiful young woman of substance No longer am I living a sub-existence Using my pen to make my life movements Just looking for avenues of improvement Do you see anywhere I have made a mistake? Yo, please come, let's talk as we sit by the lake Let's sit and talk about what we should create Let's talk about love and what we think of fate Been on the path since I was a youngin like fuckin' eight My pain taught me how to appreciate The land that I walk upon and the food that I ate Last week, last night Every fight that I've had with me myself and I Taught me that both joy and pain have power inside Taught me that my mind and heart don't need to always collide I confide in God like every day To me now, that is the only way Yo I'm on that spiritual payday F*ck all that mayday But I was dramatic And now my shit's fantastic I'm a love fanatic On that mental acrobatic Yo, I got a lot to do I got a lot to say I listen to my guides like every day I promise on it all they show the way Yo, imma have to go away for a while To remember that careless smile Remember my efforts are always worth it So imma just keep workin' it Continue doing my best, forgetting the rest It doesn't have to be so damn complicated Yo I spent seven years so fucking faded If I could just say what I mean If I could really come clean I don't feel like I have to be seen By anyone but my Maker I focus on Creator I focus on Peace I focus on those in my city's streets I focus on the needs of our society Many things but I know I'm not an angel I'm just learning how to be me from a different angle Can't believe this is it but it takes two to tango I should be looking up to above, figuring out that self-love But in this moment I'm just gathering myself Learning how to love me like everybody else I am worthy of a cleanse, I am worthy of a Benz But sometimes I just feel so goddamn tense How can I move forward when I'm on quicksand But the shit I am on, it feels like a handstand Throughout this night, I made a band but is it worth it? Is it truthful? Or will it serve me later? Or am I just jumping into a motherfucking crater? Or am I my biggest hater? Can't tell you for sure All I know is I know it is now, this is my moment Making my statement and I am fucking owning it! I have power to change, this is the age of information My life is in alignment, the shit is in formation Yeah, I'll be alright, yeah I will be okay I gotta take a deep breath for tomorrow day
