The KEY WiTHiN

If y'all know me
You know my story been crazy
Story of a boy
Born inside a tornado
Torn apart by all the
Wars that have reigned down
But by the force of God
Was offered a way out
Break down the walls
Of this prison that I've created
My wings are finally strong enough
To lift me from the cages
Elevation
Melt away the weights that
Had once
Had me stuck
Disgraced with no faith
That I could change it

Woke up my senses
No more stressing off the uncontrollable
No more pretending
That everyone is the homie tho
Nobody knows me no
More been on my own for so
Long
I forgot what it's like
Not to be a lonely soul
Not to say I'm lonely
But alone on this ghostly road
Used to being on my solo
With noone to hold me down
The lone walker
I rose off the
Ground
Rock bottom
Was all that I'd known
Knocking
On heaven's door
But no responses
Took forever for
Me to collect the cure
For my own problems
It's taken some years
To shake away the pain
And drain this lake full of tears
To face all my fears
To shield myself from the temptation
Rebuild my faith
In the face in the mirror
Been sifting through the issues
And the fact is that my heart went black
Having to watch my father
Have back to back heart attacks
Massive scars attached
Onto my soul and spirit
Don't try to tell me you don't feel it
Through every flow and lyric
Shedding emotion
Through every moment
Gotta hold it dear
And if you don't
Only losing out on what is priceless
These moments are golden
We'll never get them back
Never get them back
So do not risk the chance
To tell someone you love them
For it may slip when that minute pass
Forever in regret
Of the shit you never said

When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
Gotta reach within yourself
To find the key
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
Gotta reach within yourself
To find the key

A life in chains
For I became
A prisoner
Due to my own decisions
Cold as winter inside my veins
Dope addicted
Phony bitches and criminals
My soul conflicted
Got a bone to pick with my inner self
No hope existed
Another quarter
Thrown down a wishing well
But all my wishes
Failed to come to fruition
Cuz I didn't care
Life goes on
Im aging and hearts still broke
Found some patience
But my patience only goes so far for y'all
No company
Solitude is key
Let me trip alone
Quiet but don't fuck with me
Come out swinging like Arsenio
Watched my spot
Fall into smoldering ashes
Not but a year after my father
Had ghosted the planet
So I felt stranded
But then I broke from that panic
Realized it's on me to be a man
And get control of my actions
Yesterday has faded
Yet it's reflection is still hanging
Whole neighborhood observed
As our memories were cremated
Thank God my memory of those memories remain safe man
My energy exchanges
Connectivity to angels
Truth in the flesh I'm heaven's sword
Met death but got a second draw
Unlike some loved ones
And those losing friends
Because of fentanyl
Rest assure
Presence pure
Blessed by the ancients
Been through war
Went through storms
And I've taken
Mental tours
Like I entered doors of a spaceship
Settled scores
With the devil
And set the chains down

When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
Gotta reach within yourself
To find the key
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
When your life's in chains
Gotta reach within yourself
To find the key

See I spent a lot of years in the dark
Looking back on it now
Realize the dark has been one of my biggest teachers
For when you're in the dark
You have no choice but to face yourself
And what's stuck up inside your head
Only option
To confront those monsters
Confront those demons that have latched on for so damn long
I mean you can run forever
But you'll still be stuck in the dark
It isn't until you face the fear
That you find
Truly find peace
Find that the lights is
Finally breaking free
To face the fear
Is to face yourself
Dig deeper and find the key
