Mirrored Blessings

Cast away demons free from my temple evicted
Committed treason with reason just tryna heal where theres sickness
I slit the throat of my ego bowed at the feet of a witness
It was my queen with a mirror the fast moving I shifted
I went through trauma and drama lost what I hustled to get
Two bullets never forget go through to pain to be bliss
I drowned the thoughts of depression in double shots of tequila
Amongst many yet alone want to feel somethin from my people
I lost myself chasing peace but I was using destruction
The old me's I never dealt with was uncovered
I stepped back took a fast and low and behold I discovered
What you get for convenience won't beat that food in your cupboard
Said the poisons what they use to run the matrix
The drinks the smokes and vices is toted what it makes it
Go you no have well through Pharma we can make it
Your body crave the lobby of euphoria you take it complacent
I sit with my pros and the cons adjacent
Lookin at the man in him and God is now awakened
Dark forces large horses they aim and take me
In many different forms I reference thorns Sonya JC
The cloth that we come from you can't purchase at Macy's
Just peep the maze see happy feelings Beverly and Maze sing
And Ye even tried to tell you it was amazing

This is a hood dissertation
Earned my degree in degrees of heat street and tough situations for me to heal generations
Imperfect habits mistakes I accept I had em and made my way
To the goals and the dreams in ways that I couldn't escape it
What you gone do with your chance in this life to lead em and take it
Are you gone fold in environments that they placed to misplace you
Or you gone thrive and see the loopholes in the system to greatness
And beat the odds and inspire those just existing to make it
Too many homies that done passed since I done seen graduation
Some young some old all habits mistakes and
Some seen it coming some couldn't run and
Some put the gun to their temple revolver spun
Their own destiny felt they had to take it its crazy
They roll with me in spirit as I pace it
I seen the other side you can't provide me with a makeshift
Opinion that you're lending but your account here is fake and
Its a waste of time like what's a Rolex in the basement save it
