HEADS or TAILS

You started it all from a deep passion
From the love, from the attraction
You sang it all loud in your complexion
Lighting up a house missing affection
You were only 10 and you'd give lessons
After absorbing their confessions
Who should guide you did search for directions
Like you were a channel for ancestors
And you were indeed
And you are indeed
You grew up in silence
Warming up your seed
Glasses in the kitchen
Cigars in the hall
Early in the morning
She looses it all
And you were up there
You were always there
Listening her demons
Hidden in you bed
Oh nobody saw you
Even on your lap
But you had that dream
That brought you your hope again
And now here I am trying to make it real
What somedays fed you in the dark
Every heavy thought is a reflection to get back to your young heart
I just wanna make you proud, and make it worthy it all your marks
I just want is make you live forever honor you in our art

What if I didn't like sad beats
What would it make of me?
Likely one more bad bitch
Funny but that ain't me
My name on satin sheets?
It could be cool but cold
I only got one pillow
And that's love for my fro
This has never been about Money
Never been about sales
It's always been about love
And how it can still prevail
It's not either about
Pleasing who rules the damed game
I'm still keeping it solid
I never wanted to play
There'll be always someone saying
Do this
Do that
Once there's value on the table
There's an opinion to share
But check how many wanna be near
How many really care
Every snake around my yard
Does it's best to get its share

Oh who made you feel so mighty?
You feel so entitled to guide me
Oh you, wanna lead my way to where is best for you
It's funny you think I was blinded

But I can't lie
It's fucking up my energy
Who's speaking for real?
Do I really know what's best for me?
Am I getting weak?
Cause I'm feeling kinda mad
And I feel I'm kinda dumb
When I feel that I'm the bet
I've been hearing Gatekeepers
Telling me to go on mute
I need people to pay tickets
And they can't handle the truth
They've been singing to my ears
Tryna make me insecure
Tryna wake up my fears
Referring to my youth
How crazy, this greedy people
Using status and our dreams
I wonder what they have conquer
Selling lies to kids
When you're talented they'll find you
They won't stop you But they'll try to
I hope you listen to you
Your chest is the one to guide you

They say I'm going places only if under their rules
It's funny how I'm seen as Beautiful little fool
On some worse days I even pray for that to be the truth
But there's no way to fight against what I've got from my roots
