Lyrics
All my life I figured I'd be here
Float along my boat is strong yet difficult when I try to steer
Desire fear stress I choose not
But it's hard to dodge the rain when the lion's in a shoebox
Pay attention what I know is key
And therefore I can unlock your dome and speak my treat
What's going on with all this hate in the world
People are the real gold yet we're racing for pearls and
God speaks through the wind and the sky
And if you can't recognize it then you're living a lie so
Forget your skin it may be getting you by
But neglecting my people's needs that's not the mission of I but
Mission aside all these children just cry
Cuz they ain't raised right so they wish to the sky and
My friends are everything I'm weak and it helps
And I can't get a woman unless my heart can speak for itself ouch
So much pressure And hopefully
My response will be prepared when that angel approaches me
Are we rewarded after feeling abuse
See you were speechless and yet silence is still an excuse
I believe we can maybe win
The thought surrounds me I point like a safety pin
Try to take flight while foolish and scarred
Fly high for a second then die like a shooting star
Who arrives innocent and afraid
Who's surrounded with riches getting minimum wage
North south east west all the same with a different view
This is us this is my gift to you
This is my gift to you
Believe the name we the same with a different view
Search and find all the reasons we're here
Put a lens to our lives so you're seeing it clear
In this day and age we have to make our ways
Make our own roads that we have to create and pave
I can understand we're still in a rage
Cuz the word that means help is putting millions in graves AIDS
What's death when you forgot the amount
In the classroom we never study topics that count
We're the scholars of the future and apparently fit
When half the marriages really equal two parents that split
And I'm supposed to be a parent like this
See I give thanks to my mother cause she truly defines
The hiker that hikes the mountain they're refusing to climb
The sun is up the sun is up
We're supposed to read and visualize but can't see everything in front of us
Even Jesus came as one of us
And he died so isn't one enough think about it
While I cried I felt a bend in my knees
See we're alone but that's a lie it's what we tend to believe yeah
So when you rise just remember the weak
And your next life will be a life forever in peace
No matter what age you have the right to be heard
Still a child I just write to be heard By myself
Learn my words on your own I don't know how to repeat
Only magic how my producer keeps me sounding unique peace
Who arrives innocent and afraid
Who's surrounded with riches getting minimum wage
North south east west all the same with a different view
This is us this is my gift to you
This is my gift to you
Believe the name we the same with a different view
Search and find all the reasons we're here
Put a lens to our lives so you're seeing it clear
Innocent and affraid
North south east west all the same with a different view
This is my gift to you
This is my gift to you
Believe the name we the same with a different view
Search and find all the reasons we're here
Put a lens to our lives so you're seeing it clear
