Midas Touch

Man it's been a long day
Home from work, I shower feeling lonely
But the path to greatness mean you take your own way
Met a few they divergent from the role play
Authenticity been beaming through the cloud shade
I been chiseling through the marble
Been sipping on holy water
Been praying for my whole family
And those I go to war with
The ones no longer with me
By my own hand I brought 'em
Man that shit was crazy
I knew that life was moving I just needed time
Didn't recognize the man in mirrors I was living by
What a shame
The pieces I was missing
Needed to obtain
Hungry for some answers got me questioning
But really, how often do the desert rain
Self-assess the pressure, making diamonds glow
Pushed the pen to limits that I'd pray for, so

Now I'm thinking, I ain't aimed that bar high enough
I capped my ceiling before I knew what inspired was
Don't drain the life out your soul for the midas touch
All you have can't be gold, nurture higher love
My sense of self pieced together more I pruned that
Tree of life, dead leaves got needs they demand, see
Who am I? Deadly, emcee, with the planned heat
Truly I'm, blessed with ones who understand me

Aiming for happiness, practice contentment if I'm low
If that shit backing me, against the wall, I'll never fold
I bring my ratchet out, click the top, and then unload
I know my pen got extendo for the days I'm missing more cuz
We ain't perfect
And I know that aim ain't always there
So while I practice precision, imma slay the darkness dead
And if I don't get it all, it's calm
My brothers got the pieces
At all times your reflection speaking
You gotta see it
