lyrics

It was the come up
my beginning suspended
in deeper sentence
I believe this moment
captured between us
now let me witness
ask forgiveness to a dark night
that never replied
I'm committed
to every soldier who died
I make it ride, come on
we get live and I get mine
decompress and I rise
blinding lights that I shine
burn and freeze like dry ice
pouring rain in sunlight
my broken wings still take flight
visions of a past life
illuminating timelines
reading palms and lifelines
patterns born in passed time
speak to where my path lies
follow me, compare my
love and pain for this grind
the truth opposed to your lies
exposed within our lifetime
the music is our tour guide

It took place while you were sleeping
deeply dreaming, discovering meaning,
believing beneath it, something more
is emerging -- you feel it,
I've come to reveal it,
after years of deception and secrets
revisit visions: broken hearts
in the wake of redemption
I'm breathing, softly
on a path of incredible distance,
where friends and family sold dope,
disrespected their women --
spent most their lives confined
to time, in a cell of a prison --
committed suicide by tightening
their grip on a pistol.
I'm standing strong and independent
despite heartless opinions,
standing mainly
for the people who live it.
Revolving rooms continue spinning,
without exit or entrance,
our voices blended
lost in pain and persistence
numb existence
push relentless toward this bright light
believing all my own hype
haters hate and doubt me
while I freestyle
what they can't write.
South side 'til I pass
I keep it moving fast
I keep on keeping on
until y'all know just
what it sound like

'Cause it's the come up
my beginning suspended
in deeper sentence
I believe this moment
captured between us
now let me witness
ask forgiveness to a dark night
that never replied
I'm committed
to every soldier who died
I make it ride, come on
we get live and I get mine
decompress and I rise
blinding lights that I shine
burn and freeze like dry ice
pouring rain in sunlight
my broken wings still take flight
visions of a past life
illuminating timelines
reading palms and lifelines
patterns born in passed time
speak to where my path lies
follow me, compare my
love and pain for this grind
the truth opposed to your lies
exposed within our lifetime
the music here is your guide

Seven years ago
on the night I almost died
I would fail to see the signs
for what it meant to be alive
in a fight my jaw would shatter
be replaced by metal plates
the cold alloy in my face
still feels heavy when it rains

I push the pain away to feel again
from hate to say I'd kill for it
they said, I'd never sing again
watch me, bro, I live for this
contemplate the consequence
of broken hope and confidence
through competence and common sense
to rise above and conquer this
I skip the flood of compliments
the shallowness and cockiness
jewelry and accomplishments
that disconnect our consciousness
I come up while you copy this
collabos across continents
shaping vowels and consonants
collective mind reconnaissance
continue with my heart in this
constantly my all in this
cop it, become part of this
this artist keeps his promises
South side 'til I pass
I keep it moving fast
I keep on, keeping on
Until y'all know just what it sounds like

It was the come up
my beginning suspended
in deeper sentence
I believe this moment
captured between us
now let me witness
ask forgiveness to a dark night
that never replied
I'm committed
to every soldier who died
I make it ride, come on
we get live and I get mine
decompress and I rise
blinding lights that I shine
burn and freeze like dry ice
pouring rain in sunlight
my broken wings still take flight
visions of a past life
illuminating timelines
reading palms and lifelines
patterns born in passed time
speak to where my path lies
follow me, compare my
love and pain for this grind
the truth opposed to your lies
exposed within our lifetime
my music here is your guide
