Imagine This (feat. Rose the Mermaid)

They're telling me that in my life
Glass ceilings won't break
They're telling me I aim too high
But I still pray
But I still praise
I started too late
But you don't get
To decide my fate

Imagine this, a kid born, without a bit, of a care of in the world or what's out of it
That & then, just mastering their damn rapping gift
In their thoughts everyday is actually where their grapple slips
When they open up their mouth you would never guess they were battling
Tries to remember that their madness could be stopped with a laughing grin
Is their heart back in place &, are they apart from their matrix
With an armor that's spacious, but harder than pavement
Got the music, but they'll keep their guard up like trained men
That's their way, to harbor the pain &
Deal with it without scarring their brain in, & out, on a permanent basis
No stardom could change this, but it's starting to make sense

They're telling me that in my life
Glass ceilings won't break
They're telling me I aim too high
But I still pray
But I still praise
I started too late
But you don't get
To decide my fate

Imagine this, same kid, was talented
Now & glad it's this, they honed into like a god damn missile
Crafting it, wasn't easy, really, what actually is
Finally feeling like some things up in their mind are unanimous
Part of 'em still needs a lot of work, but they're at it while maybe puffing cannabis
Bear with 'em, cuzz articulating, their minds into words is the part they refrain from
It'll have 'em shaking & dizzy like there was percocet taken
They just want an art to relay it
That's what they are just awaiting, for their participation
To hit their target like aiming
No more perpetuating, just starting their way with
A new route made to fucking, garner some patience
