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
