y Art Lyrics

Steady writing my pain away, the plot escaping me

Hoping these feelings just fade away

Might not make it another day

I'm asking why do I do these things, when am I truly me

Top where I'm soon to be or do I fake it exuding peace

While evil is ruling me, world and its cruelty

Dreamworld screwing with me

Girls everyday proving to me will never be true to me

I close my eyes and hope to sleep with peace and blind to potency

My spirit cries so hopelessly, the devil's lies provoking me, be choking me

Wake up with cold sweats jot in my notes and see

If I could find some peace to please the ghost that lies in childhood dreams

Feel I strayed so far away like who am I supposed to be

I pray to God devotedly

I'm weak inside just like a tree that can't witness the sunrise

I'm ostracized who close to me

Said they wasn't who they supposed to be

Can't be the roots that's holding me down, was holding me back

Matter of fact all they wanted was control of me

And I ask God why they be so cold to me

Why they keep on showing me can't trust no one but You and me

Why they tryna drag me overseas and drown me in the coral reef

My childish eyes too shy to see that this part of my Odyssey is meant to spark new life in me

New light in me shine brighter than the coral reef

They look upon me spitefully, take credit as they pridefully pretend they wanted right for me

Now they feel they could rightfully get access to my royalties

But I'm practicing maturity

Practically assuring me God above wanting more for me

I gotta want more from me

So there's no more deplorably tainting my story with inadequacies

I imagined, perceived the dreams that died in back of me

Look to young AP said we gotta have a track meet

Look at your track sheet, because it's about to be a wrap G, but don't tap please

It gets a whole lot worse but you get the chance to attack these

Monsters and fiends and alternate things

Nighttime in your dreams, daylight you can see

They like to conceive false notions, commit treason

Your pearls of wisdom they can never keep them

So trust this only the start

You have to search it deep within your heart

To find the reason why you art

The reason why you art

The reason why you are

Search it deep within your scars, my people deep behind them bars

We are stars with dreams to bring us further than Mars

And we got heart to keep this world from falling apart

Though we got last place start, create abstract art

Pushing laundry carts, Love to the dearly departed

That died at mini marts, got killed in parking lots

And their lives snatched what was supposed to be a routine police stop

Fuck the cops, young brother got it bad because I'm hot

My brown skin, melanin, it blinds others as it shines under suns

Yeah that shit pop

We are state of the art

Why we are loud and proud, probably the Bonaparte syndrome

Got the crown now tell our counterparts they can go home

Put down their stones, break them down less than a day Rome

They end up alone their power is lost

Priceless but this is the cost to finding our own

In this world we happen to roam

Past remnants remind us of how far we done grown

Shalom

I'm gone
