The Awakening

Every lesson that you learn
You get a degree
Meaning success isn't scheduled
By a college degree
Meaning sometimes parents push
A college to be luxury
Compare they childhoods
But don't know about we
They don't know about us
We don't know about we
Besides harsh criticism and the number 23
Watch debris pile up
As it forms into a tree
For the autumn
Dollars falling for that early shopping spree
Man these thoughts they talk to me
How we bash especially
Call us dogs then build these walls
As the system mimics fleas
Sisters flea cause we lack
Sight, knowledge, all of that
But they too, need the guidance
It's so vital we adapt
From the lies that they taught
We was young, not our fault
That we bought all of attention man
And still we was lost
And it cost
And it cost

Multiple lives, we juggling knives
But put it aside, it's a reason for drive
Gas is expensive
But so is decisions
So insecurities securing you
Helps the collision
Just get in the position
Where you know the love is addicting
Till your present is your future
You'll forever be gifted
And that is realistic
But people lately saying I drifted
Stating I spaced bars to escape y'all
And my drive has shifted
But it didn't
I been living
Searching, and finding a better me
Not looking back cause the past
Couldn't compare to me
Used to be drained but now these words replenish me
As the world decays I treat it as it's dentistry
Remember music conversations
Back working with Paul
I guess this pen was in my genes
Am I overall?
Naw, but these thoughts became words
These words became actions
These actions became habits
These habits became normal
Hoping the same for you
Too much black on black crime
Devin wouldn't aim for ya
Bullets load, another episode
I wrote this while on the road
While I'm touching the souls
Let it, spread as if it's cold
I know we got our goals
Got to have a mind state
