Clarity

The thinnest ear couldn't hear
What I've been called to do since
The day you wound up missing
I swim, I steered
Was lost by faith, not by sight
Swear Id go to lakefront just
To reveal my next state of revelation
And almost swam the lake
To the next state of Michigan
Wouldn't even raise my neck for a
Breath to pray (Inhale, exhale)

Willing to drown as long as
It was a pile of money
Hustled days upon days
Three jobs and an extra 40k still til this day
I only wish you would've seen the look
On my nephews face the day he started
Feeding from his mother's plate
I don't want my mom's mind molded thinking
In order to love, she has to be a certain way
Or my sister's heart just feening
For any man to come fill that space
Especially when I know as a man
You worked hard, you never left you stayed
But why do I still feel like I had to be the
Man for the both of us?
Why do I still feel like
Swimming even though my hope is up?
Maybe I wanted this shit perfect for my ego
But better for my spirit for the both of us
Maybe I keep coming back in this studio
Knowing you'll never get to hear it
and I'm spitting some of the dopest stuff

So yea... ima be real
It was all because of you
All because knew
That a world with no ends meat
Can't Feed no family, can't feed no famine
No I'm all in this booth Thinkin bout Grammys
Glad I can seek it without mammon
Someone tell my dad I haven't reached my peak yet, but I know you see plannin
I know you see me handling it
Took the mantle, but now I gotta it to ya
It was a long path cause I took the mountains
Hoping that someday I woulda ran into ya
Hoping I'd actually have something to
Say now that I'm the man in front

I mean, not just me, but with God!"
And when it is just me ima let it ride!
Turn my head to see him approached
In the biggest wave
Turnt to the biggest tide!
Before ballin on my own means ima pivot the plank for a fade-away
On my own mission but keep that mission
When I visit the bank
Cause lord know I got my sinister ways
Point blank period!

I don't point hate!
But won't hesitate to pull up & ride slow
Just to let you know what gear I'm in
Im Talking to you now but failed to let you know what year I'm in
Just to let you know ima appear at the end
Just to let you know I'm a peer at the end
Just to sit and review all My wins
For you niggas that use to appear as a friend
But that image may appear closer so I don't know where a few of you begin.
Too busy focused on the perfect View I'm in...
If I know one thing, the one thing you seem to cherish doesn't ever seem to
Compare until you make your mind up
So mines up... our time is up...
But when is time ever enough?
Until you realize that shit will never bring it back on rewind
But maybe it can bring back that therapy to wisdom
maybe even bring back that CLARITY you're missin"

Israel... Israel!
yea?
I love you
I love you
Aww

For now on I call this the intervention whatever you got going on there is just as important as what I got going on here... well, yea...{you get the message}
