PERCEPTION Lyrics

Heart bumping out my chest

Really worth the stress

Know it's worth the while so it don't hurt to work a sweat

And while my peers been dormant I've been more concerned if I progress

Tired as I be I plan on bettering my best

Cause that's what papa used to preach

So I guess I been taking note of it

It's crazy how easy it is to make assumptions when you know nothing

Other than what you've been told or what you been shown

So believe it if you want or discard all of what you know

Cause we all lack a certain extent of some understanding on

This life that we just take in a moment and so I cannonball

And try not to hold my breath for longer than I've been planning on

Knowing I would drown tryna save you fore myself

Quick to let the homies know it's good to call for help

Because we all bear a shovel but don't make me dig that hole

If trying to find you a solution is easier hit my phone

That goes for each of y'all I just really thought y'all should know

That we all need a shoulder we can lean on

Don't just let it die for nothin

Go and get your dream on

Put on for yourself then turn around and put your team on

Tell it like I know it

I can't tell it like I seen all

Cause really I just took all the bad and put it into perspective

Not too much of a man to tell you I stood corrected

You'll try it until you got it

I'll do it til I perfect it

Sewn a seed it my soul so I guard it and I protect it

Really ain't nobody that's near the place I'm projected for

Swear that I'm from Philly

I'm Flyer so I been jetting on em

Life so fifty-fifty

I roll the dice then I'm betting on em

Said they'll take the lead from me

Guarantee that I'm getting on em

Ain't a damn thing when it comes to pressure

I never bend

Not the type to let it get it the way and I never been

Focused on opinions is probably why you won't ever win

Keep the circle small bro it's critical you can't let em in

It's just some reconsideration on my view of life

So much at stake for this it's rare to see a few alike

The clock gon tick and time's not on your side

You better use it right

Get a grip or lose your life

And I don't fear my death

But I fear for the ones I'll leave behind

Cause I was in them shoes and couldn't speak nor barely breathe and I

Was in positions it took more than heart to keep alive

Tried to pray for peace in my mind when I couldn't see the signs

Now the vision crystal clear

Writing's on the walls

Fight before they take from what I built and fore it falls

Down

You ain't see the work and yet you for the cause now

It ain't that much of a deal so I'll keep it calm

Lord kept favored forever I recognize

Wrote the extended play to show you can reconcile

A broken soul on the verge of losing it a second time

Bottled up my emotions so watch for a tickin time

Bomb

I was hot fore I knew I was finna blow

Had my foot on the pedal I knew that I had to go

Further than they was willing it's more about your persistence

Truly I'm self made

Did it with no assistance

Blessed is my position

To even have this view of life

So much at stake for this it's rare to see a few alike

The clock gon tick and time's not on your side

You better use it right

Get a grip or lose your life
