Watch Ur Back

Time be passing me by
From the Pharcyde to the Islands
Missing the days I
Had no responsibilities
And finding serendipity now
Here I am
Attempting to remind myself the power I have
To control my own destiny
Freedom of this control should be a right not a privilege
Here I am attempting to heal
Not linear, but more like a skyline
Ups and downs with lights and patches of darkness
Here I am attempting to maintain my relationship with my spirituality, my ancestors and my prayer
They keep me grounded
Here I am attempting to keep my head in a world full of expectations that's also expecting you to fail
Here I am recognizing my beauty, power and strength
Even in times when I feel like I'm going to collapse
It Seems like I waited forever for this time to come
For this time to swallow me
Whole in its gaping jaws
Take me
And absorb the echoes off the walls
I'm drawn
To your mannerisms
Opened me from the inside then
Torn through my chest like
A tear in the sheets and curtains
I'm certain
This is where I'm supposed to be
So I puff until my chest burns
But I try to test my best self
So I run until my legs hurt
