Olive Trees ft. sadgucci Lyrics

Walking through this place leaving yesterday behind

Tomorrow don't exist and we can't request more time

Soulful shine I'm giving you the best of mine

Didn't think I'd make it this far it was best to climb

Now here I am in a world of emotional avoidance

Masked in positivity a fine line to toy with

Most people know me as an optimistic person

But I won't sit here in my privilege acting like the world ain't hurting

We all have a story we all suffered it

Some people didn't bounce back they still buffering

When it comes to anything I don't need too much of it

And when it comes to lyricism it's true you can't touch the kid

I'm a modern day griot still recovering

I can hear my ancestors talking to me leaves rustling

All the pain and trauma nobody goes unscathed

I do look back to recognize the path I paved

We celebrate the smallest victories glasses raised

I was born to be the greatest like Cassius Clay

Do better than before if I see another day

And when a door closes on me find another way

Me and my siblings were split up by the system

Now me and my brother doing collabs that's one way to get em

They would never expect it all of em did us reckless

But look at us now yea I know we left em breathless

It's probably good they shut their mouth always talking senseless

Judged me as an innocent youth they knew I was precious

They wish they broke me down feeding me their hate for breakfast

But the universe loves me and I live my mother's message

When she died I think I fell into a Great Depression

People I thought were fam then now I won't even mention

Never really knew my father but I have his blessings

And I send him mine all I really had were questions

The world turns and burns and goes around

Olive trees cut down but we don't hear a sound

Shadow silhouettes of children all black and brown

Molested by the system we don't know em we don't miss em

They lit the ocean on fire death count getting higher

Everyday we living through the wire lead supplier

Of the weapons of war repressing the poor

We sacrificed enough learned lessons and more

People say it'll be okay but they far away

Tomorrow ain't yesterday but today is kinda grey

Either way the sun'll shine again rise to the end

I found my origin I don't rely on a friend

They separating "us" and "them" while they dividing all

Tryna throw me off but I ride the fall

I got scars and stripes and admire them all

Goodbyes are easier now but still my eyes are raw
