Trek

My tennis shoes, gripping the concrete
No grip on life but the wings behind me
Gonna guide me through times cause I be

Damn if I let my fears confine me
Live like a zombie, keep checking the timepiece
Grease the vocals, the water beside me
Pictures and walls is watching what I'll become

I won't sleep till the album done, I had my fun
This voltage will leave em stunned, I need no gun
Feel the power, a king I'm one
My body hurting, bout to kick it in the overdrive

Need another quarter, I been putting in the overtime
Squeezing out every drop I possibly can
But then again I feel I can do more
The stress been laying weight on my mental

I look around and my mama still fucking poor
It's a smack in the face, I'm hurting her to the core
See her get up, go to work but I only work when I'm bored
Therefore I'm stretching vocal chords till they distort

And the sheet, cover up my dead body inside the morgue
In my heart I yearn for something real but treating em like whores
Knowing it's not going nowhere so I let it run it's course
Keep my feelings inside, no one to resort to

And talk to the mic like he the only one support you
Way too nice, hate being cordial
If I'm honest I can't really afford to
Be that guy no more, time to blow

Walk through bombs and a cloud of smoke, I'm out the door
It's not a joke, tired of wishing
My cousin said he feel alive but not living
That shit hit me, must be scripture

Perfectly depict the way that I been feeling
The kind words I get do uplift, they do strike a nerve
My heart start to skip, get goose bumps how thoughtful it is
When a stranger notice the gifts

Plenty shit brought to the forefront
All I ever need was belief
Sometimes I roll up and I get lost in a leaf
Inhale deep what I found was me

Graciously what I take I keep
Why would I sleep when I'd rather be
Not denied the moments I cry
Give fuel to provide not breaking a stride

Reaffirm the mission whenever woken
Utter words to myself to make sure it's spoken
Into the universe manifestation
My name in rooms I haven't been placed in
