Realizations

Got history to write
But if his story ain't told
Then he might turn cold
Grow abused and alone
So I offer up a hand
Got the grandest of plans
He'll amass a lot of stans
He gon fill a lot of stands
He'll feel cool with the fans
When he's swimming in the bands
But I told him that ain't it
It won't never mean shit
No not even a bit
You'll just dig a deeper pit
Gotta build your shit
Gotta prove your grit
Prove em wrong cause they thought a young brother unfit
All the hope and joy that you could transmit
All the bull that they throw you'll just have to omit
Start with cheap lil mics and a free beat kit
You'll command yo own journey stationed in a cockpit
Streets gave you lots of pain but don't forget about yo wit
Ain't got much sleep last night
I awoke in a fright
From the absence of light
In my voice feel the plight
Heartbreak it just might
Now my face turning white
Too extreme of a slight
When your brothers wanna fight
Tryna pull up on sight
Tryna get you outta spite
Yeah we used to fly kites
Felt the thrill of the heights
We were on the same base but the days finite
When I'm steppin up to bat it's gon be a dark knight
Chill for days at the crib shake spears fortnight
Running plays to left now with words playwright
Now our tales are just battles nothin seems alright
See them hatin on a brother you could call em alt-right
See the hate that they spread tell my brothers sit tight
Said he had em cold feet runnin from that frostbite
Wide range of emotions call it panoramic sight
Put some wings on that angel you might see him take flight

Realizations, all the time
Realizations, all the time

I'm just tryna hang on the halfpipe
But the crowd I had found were some parasites
Talked heat but they couldn't handle Fahrenheit
Turns out I'm not made for the limelight
Lifestyle may be more like a Mennonite
Named a boss but work better as the acolyte
Nonetheless I was born with an appetite
Don't have ambition guess u gotta exit stage right
no bark big bite call me great white
Don't talk too much but I might fight
Clenched teeth match fists and they held tight
Strong arm big punch give you night frights
Caucased teeth raised y'all in twilight
Y'all crazed behave ain't in Brooklyn heights
Nets chained interlaced, shooting bricks disgraced
Defaced layin waste, read your last rites

Realizations, all the time
Realizations, all the time

Just look what God has given
Made you driven
Only you envision through the opposition
But the composition of your heart and soul
May be the greatest story they've ever told
One day indeed they will behold
Embodiment of the brave and bold
And they'll never say that you were controlled
Cause the character you can uphold is amongst the greatest of men
And it shows in the work of your pen
Gives me joy to call you my friend
Share perspective and offer a new lens
In mind and heart we tryna transcend
But don't ever think greed is what we intend
I'm just tryna see, my g succeed, and with the greatest contend
You could take the lead, of destiny, and with demons make your amends
Then who you are and where you from my brother you can defend
Soon who you'll be and where you'll go in history will be penned
I hope you realize you are enough and smile before it all ends
