Black Lotus.

I've caught my stride; with all my might
My walk, my vibe has changed. Pardon my display
Of confidence. For so long, I fought for this
I lay back in my sarcophagus
Damn right I'm playing hard to get
Time and energy ain't free

Villainous, venomous strokes and coats
layered on every wound; stitching my woes with growth
I'm no longer a familiar soul to most
Overdosed on a bit of my own repose
What a breath of fresh air. I was choked and closed
Off from inhaling the scent of the lotus. Not a pedal was broken
Its colorless head had a glow lit
I picked it up and promised that I'd never let go
Tucked it right behind the ear for memorabilia's sake
A sign of rebellion. I chose to spit in the face
Of whatever was wrote and scripted as fate
My flesh is the whole abyss in a physical state

Oh
Many of times, I didn't accept and simply declined
This is a different time. I'm ready and willing to fly

If it's all for nothing, I'll make it about something
You fooled me once, so never twice. I'm Infinite and can never die
Take me on

I've caught my stride; with all my might
My walk, my vibe has changed. Pardon my display
Of confidence. Got so many scars for this
From myself and the war I'm in
Can't rest 'til I'm gone, and it's the end of the song

Momma', I'm a warrior. You gave the sharpened sword
Still, you never seen the mess, or when my arms were sore
Grandmomma', your faith in me kept me alive and well
Although, I hide my Hell and the impurities inside my shell
But, I swear I'm invincible now
I could lift into the clouds

Oh
Many of times, I didn't accept and simply declined
This is a different time. I'm ready and willing to fly

If it's all for nothing, I'll make it about something
You fooled me once, so never twice. I'm Infinite and can never die
Take me on

Its colorless head had a glow lit
I picked it up and promised that I'd never let go

Black Lotus
