Set Me Free

I'm feelin' blessed
Not sayin' better than the rest
But on par with the stars
That wouldn't be a stretch
I don't mess with those
Who try and bring me down
Rather be surrounded by
These upside down frowns
But when it goes down
Best believe I stick around
I stay thru the nite
Til we see a brighter day
And when push comes to fight
Best believe we'll find a way
Working together
There's nothing we can't create
The first to admit
I steer clear of the negative
Naysayers sayin' nada
Attention they never get
Nobody from the outside can ever pressure me
Up in the kitchen makin' recipes to
("SET ME FREE")
A chef with words
Serving food for your soul
Strength for the spirit
Motivation to let go
Of all those ills
Keeping you down on yourself
Keep it fresh and full of truth
Always good for your health.
Stealth moves as I
Cruise through society
A musical muse
Keepin' it new with variety
Outgrow myself to shed the shell for a newer me
A truer me, someone who lacks congruency
Always on time
I don't believe in truancy
Set my own pace
The rat race is slavery
Tapestry of masonry
Society feels like mace to me
Burnt out my eyes
Now my ears see clear for me
Ugh
They said I wasn't suppose to look at you
Now I'm straight lookin' through
The window to my destiny
Nothing's really stressin' me
Focused on blessin' these
Circles that I creep with
You know that ya'll
("Set me Free")
I may drink now and then
Steering clear of abuse
If I'm a true human being
That's all there is to it
No black or white in my life
We need balance to thrive
Medicine's in many things
You never know til til you try
That's why I try for the sky
Looks like a helluva ride
And put my heart in my words
Til you see through my eyes
In pursuit of the truth
Til i'm free and lies die
We do what we gotta do
To get a slice of the pie
See Vee to Sea Town
Reservation to Down Town
We work hands in dirt
Uncovering the low down
Packin' 9's to picket signs
White collar crimes, border lines
Writin' rhymes, reflecting times
Teachin' job, but know that I'm
Just a student of this music
Had to prove that I could do it
To my self, no one else
Either love it or leave it
Believed this then achieved it
Fill my mind to release it
Heed this if you'll
("Set Me Free")

Thank you, ugh ugh ugh
Thank you
I said thank you
I said thank you
Because by you bein' right where you stand
With your hands in the air and your feet at the land
All together, check it you are settin' me free
Just look around, see each other
See we are a "WE"
Technically
Whatever that means
But we at the same place at the same time
Chillin' with these fine rhymes
Kickin it, livin it
Lovin' it, smilin'
Enjoying each others company
We gettin wild
If takin a drink
Takin a smoke
Take whatever it takes to medicate
Make sure you're feelin' better
Love your moments
Whereever you're at
Love your family
Show it
And if not then please
("Set Me Free")
