T.O.R.N. (Thoughts on Random Nights)

These...
Are just a collection of thoughts that I would like to share with you
The wise take time to align the soul's truth
And I'm inclined and must oblige to share these messages with you
So without further adieu
Peer pressure, no such thing when you strong in mind
King, wasn't ready had to grow with time
Identify signs the crown was mine
I defied knew I crossed the line
Stood as a man ready for what fate decides
Ain't no temple where hate resides
Hate can override to this I testify
The rise and fall of all the land associate with pride
Although pride is one of my greatest strengths
I won't let it cause my world to end
This world of sin, I'm still sinning like the rest would do
Difference I accept it, makes me human too
I won't judge you, don't judge me too
Want a miracle I'm living proof
I was lost and found I was missing too
Until I found my roots
Buried deep look how far I grew

Leave my seeds that's what cowards do
From concrete the flower grew
Best of friends can get sour too
Best of kin could not follow through
Be a leader they could follow you, follow who?
You must lead you can't follow too
Tough love, you can coddle too
Whether woman or man, as a brand, can they model you?
When met with many options in your path, do you follow truth?
Kids watching mom and dad such a blessing
Do everything we can to make sure that we bless them
Do you teach fear or do you teach a lesson?
You the one they trust or the one from which they need protection?
Products of our childhood but nothing is destined
We still have the power to provide correction
With that said don't let the past stunt your progression
We don't pray for change, we manifest it

In an ocean full of hopes and dreams
Are you willing to rock the boat to get what you need?
It seems
That uncertainty, will certainly, delay and impede the most important things
Needed to bring inner peace
Believe, what I speak doesn't come easily
All It takes being fed up
Feel like a set up
And all the let downs don't let up
Just keep your head up
If you don't give up
Things will trend up
As life twists and turns, you maneuver like NASCAR
Kudos to the driver cause everybody has fast cars
Look in the crowd, see where the red flags are
Want to see you run into a bank, like Flagstar
Life's a movie and most what you see are actors
The dilemma, follow the script or ad lib every bit
When life's camera begins, you're on Act I
When they roll the credits, make sure that they don't forget it
Give my all that's what I would do

From concrete the flower grew
Best of friends can get sour too
Best of kin could not follow through
Told me to be a leader they could follow you, follow who?
You must lead you can't follow too
Tough love, you can coddle too
Whether woman or man, as a brand, can they model you?
When met with many options in your path, do you follow truth?
Kids watching mom and dad such a blessing
Do everything we can to make sure that we bless them
Do you teach fear or do you teach a lesson?
You the one they trust or the one from which they need protection?
Products of our childhood but nothing is destined
We still have the power to provide correction
With that said don't let the past stunt your progression
We don't pray for change, we manifest it

Look, we all hold the key to life
Takes a while for us to see the light
It's always there always shining Bright
It takes time when your sight is blind
Your hands up not to hurt your eyes
But now your hands is in the way and you can't see behind
Sometime we get in our own way we have to move aside
Let that inner voice be your guide
Meditate make your cores align
That's all you need now just give it time
Truth is, I just want to change the world
One soul at a time
I see my people struggle how do I show them the hustle
It's tough, cause the truth is hiding in plain sight
Fuck!
They robbed and killed us the same night
We resurrected and entered the same damn plight
They offered the dream we buying the same thing twice
Took the knife out our back and sold us the same damn knife!
I'm not saying I got all the answers
But in this book found some hidden chapters
Dr. Sebi found the cure for cancer
These execs tryna set the standard
Don't get robbed better own your masters
Cops need training, police shooting while we got our hands up
Then get off, it just doesn't add up
Politicians pit us against each other
Know they sitting laughing
While we paying taxes
So I could never leave my seeds that's what cowards do

From concrete the flower grew
Best of friends can get sour too
Best of kin could not follow through
Told me to be a leader they could follow you, follow who?
You must lead you can't follow too
Tough love, you can coddle too
Whether woman or man, as a brand, can they model you?
When met with many options in your path, do you follow truth?
Kids watching mom and dad such a blessing
Do everything we can to make sure that we bless them
Do you teach fear or do you teach a lesson?
You the one they trust or the one from which they need protection?
Products of our childhood but nothing is destined
We still have the power to provide correction
With that said don't let the past stunt your progression
We don't pray for change, we manifest it

Leave my seeds that's what cowards do
From concrete the flower grew
Best of friends can get sour too
