Trails of Energy

I got to have faith in me Before I do anything Thinking that rap was a dream Until I started making cream Evolving faster yeah While studying culture Building toward the future Collecting my chapters Holding myself hostage While paying homage To the most high for the blessings Bestowed upon us I knew my time was coming You know that zone you fall in When you feeling good shining Like the sun is living within I took myself serious Cause God was so serious When I almost died damn right I begged for forgiveness And I pulled through In that white light I seen you Telling me You got a plan for me to do It gave me strength to see Where I need to be I never seen life that clear Until it was stripped from me And that's a big wake up So get your weight up Take the world off your shoulders And gone get up and let's go Life seems to manifest Its own destiny I'm just a element Following trails of energy I see the future And where i'm supposed to be I was guided on track By those around me I lost sight when I was young The bad seed Caught up in gang life Drinking and smoking weed Found peace Learning more of my history Changed my ways and actions To balance reality I wanted to be a scientist In the third grade The teacher notice How much attention I will pay Besides arithmetic I was so truly amazed At the display of planets And how they rotate With the Sun and gravitate My growth got stunted When Columbus came in place Pilgrims and Indians Pictured feasting everyday Black kids only seen In slavery aspects Neglected history Before our a Black President We need to teach them A higher education Jail don't do nothing But stagnate the situation Money for wars But no money for the poor Who can endure life thru struggle We need so much more My mama held me down During hard times Told me how I'm destined to shine If I stayed on my grind That's why i'm so focused Cause life is not joking People growing old And ain't holding on to nothing Life seems to manifest Its own destiny I'm just a element Following Trails of Energy I see the future And where i'm supposed to be I was guided on track By those around me I lost sight when I was young The bad seed Caught up in gang life Drinking and smoking weed Found peace Learning more of my history Changed my ways and actions To balance reality I knew I make it Only if I try hard Believing in God was a start But things do fall apart Pick the pieces up And maintain your energy Vocalise reality Who can see it better than me My mind sharp With the ancient riddles Just like a puzzle Bringing knowledge and wisdom Right at ya on the double So I got to have that Cause it's bigger than rap The first step is getting the facts And learning how to fight back Giving all you got to give When the time calls for it Don't fall back on yourself Just put your all in it Guaranteed you gonna see A new chemistry You might shock yourself By what you can do spiritually I seen neglected adolescents Change they ways For a better day They was tired of the games They played Wanting to be a better man With some understanding They took a chance now they dance With a new vision Life seems to manifest Its own destiny I'm just a element Following trails of energy I see the future And where i'm supposed to be I was guided on track By those around me I lost sight when I was young The bad seed Caught up in gang life Drinking and smoking weed Found peace Learning more of my history Changed my ways and actions To balance reality Life seems to manifest Its own destiny I'm just a element Following trails of energy I see the future And where i'm supposed to be I was guided on track By those around me I lost sight when I was young The bad seed Caught up in gang life Drinking and smoking weed Found peace Learning more of my history Changed my ways and actions To balance reality
