The great illusion
To excel in the highs, I survive the lows
I adjust to the pain and remain, of course
Never lost in the sauce when you stay the course
I plant seeds to my growth, through my thoughts and words
Emerge, I rise from the rubble and the dust beneath me
Feeling like I'm on the right path 'cause the journey ain't easy
I can't leave rap alone, the game needs me
But that's a lie, I been self-centered and selfish
Reliving traumas, dealing with karma, I can't help it
Headed in the wrong direction, these lessons I ain't learned
Burning bridges due to pride, broken on the inside
Still unsure of who I am, I don't know if there is a god
Superstitious my religion, I follow internal laws
Saw the signs and went the other way, a rebel with a cause
Losing friends, the game foes, my insecurities exposed
Internally it's like a fight, feel like they turning off the lights, but
It could be my imagination
Maybe it's the side effects of procrastination
Like I died a million times, no exaggeration
I need peace and abundance, please Lord give me something
It could be my imagination
Maybe it's the side effects of procrastination
Like I died a million times, no exaggeration
I need peace and abundance, please Lord give me something
Throw some insight and perspective to live life with acceptance
My younger years I admit I was overlooking blessings
I was stressing, my tunnel vision blocked the bigger picture
The older that I've gotten I've started to reconsider
Reconfigure priorities, what's important and more to me
The decisions that I'm making nowadays I base 'em morally
Tried to learn from the past and not repeat it all historically
Not the same story that I've been telling rhetorically
I feel the pressure just like everybody else
Sometimes to elevate we feel the need to lie to ourself
No, it doesn't help, it's just a side effect of what we felt
An alternate reality that we have built for ourselves
Walking through the fire hot enough to make your feet melt
It's gon' be a bumpy ride so buckle up your seatbelt
Relax, enjoy the journey, it could all end quick
And that's it, no guarantee the next is better than this, God
It could be my imagination
Maybe it's the side effects of procrastination
Like I died a million times, no exaggeration
I need peace and abundance, please Lord give me something
It could be my imagination
Maybe it's the side effects of procrastination
Like I died a million times, no exaggeration
I need peace and abundance, please Lord give me something
Life is short, take large, best, good steps
But because life is short, take pleasure in each step each moment
I adjust to the pain and remain, of course
Never lost in the sauce when you stay the course
I plant seeds to my growth, through my thoughts and words
Emerge, I rise from the rubble and the dust beneath me
Feeling like I'm on the right path 'cause the journey ain't easy
I can't leave rap alone, the game needs me
But that's a lie, I been self-centered and selfish
Reliving traumas, dealing with karma, I can't help it
