Lyrics
Conscience born prince in a life of thorns
And somehow I never lost sight of what side I'm on
I write heat despite what you think
Recite it and teach my people to give light to the streets
I'm liable to bleed my pain has me crying on beats
And I'd be dead if my mind was surviving on peace listen
It's been a minute I ain't trying to beef
And for my God son I'll die I don't rely on a thief
Will the day come when truth can be heard and applied
When the Lord can touch the land not just worshiping eyes
When the lies are revealed and the curtains will rise
When we see the real pain from a surface of pride
I'm hurting inside but look up and everything drifts
Thinking I won't deny my king so I better be fit
Competitiveness it makes me ready to spit
My energy lifts my people from a devilish myth but yo
I've been a backpacker mainstream alcoholic
Half depressed man who's mad possessed with my wallet
A gossiper a child half confused
Product of a single parent embarrassed always negative just comparing
I spectated respirated amputated sin
But I never chose to ride for Lucifer can't relate to him
I levitate within move to a higher life
I'll deliver your soul if you provide the mic real talk
Just peep the technique and lets move
Real recognize real so respect due yes you
You in the background doubtin the kid
Just remember every line out his mouth he had lived
They say he ain't gonna last a minute
Cuz it's hard to survive up in the game when you're in it
But you don't understand I'm built for this I won't kneel
The music's wack I can't respect what I don't feel
2008 for the most part my trust is deflating
I got an iPod but musically it's stuck in the 80s
Many problems with the game I don't bust for the ladies
Well I do but not about driving a lovely Mercedes
And having unprotected sex so I can cuddle with babies
Open your eyes turn your life like 180
Go a different route peep my tracks and hear what the kid's about
I understand you feel hip hop is gone I'ma fix your doubts
I'm talking about my religion it's been a risky fight
Shed a lot of tears like my clique it's been a drippy life
A wise man said I would struggle think the kid is right
I'm living right so hopefully I won't receive a kiss goodnight
Cuz real talk I've been scared I'm just a little man
Who's made up of a thousand broken pieces like I'm built from sand
Half the stuff I wanna say gets concealed in glands
Until you see how real I am y'all won't feel my plan
I'm here for battle I'm designed for war
Capturing demons within me until my spine is sore
The final call's been over who's your team
The anointed or the cursed to whom which you'll lose your dreams
It's a one way flight to heaven so just climb along
And if you think I'm not the chosen one rewind the song
cconsciencee born prince in a life of thorns
And somehow I never lost sight of what side I'm on
Just peep the technique and lets move
Real recognize real so respect due yes you
You in the background doubtin the kid
Just remember every line out his mouth he had lived
They say he ain't gonna last a minute
Cuz it's hard to survive up in the game when you're in it
But you don't understand I'm built for this I won't kneel
The music's wack I can't respect what I don't feel it's real
