Hook x2:
I shut my lids one time… I’m trying to see it
And ask myself two times… How much I need it?
It’s therapeutic, I’m sensing that my mind is zoning
I’m trying to be forever free, this is my shining moment

Verse 1:
I’m feeling cold, the memories rewind me back
I spell it out with no shame, never really minded that,
See my reflection, picture me as a younger version
Looking deep within me, remembering my hunger searching,
What’s my identity, I’m trying to survive in this,
Came up an immigrant, I’m trying to get by in this,
A brand new world, they call it the land of freedom,
American dream…athletes and rappers I’d want to be them,
The only thing I wanted, to pass for acceptance
Cuz I related to Andre, Outkast in the flesh and
I got into these confrontations, surrounded by ignorance,
How could I keep calm then? I’m stuck in this predicament ahh!
Bless my parents they raised me despite their problems,
And bless my sister cuz God knows she tried to solve them,
But as for me, I just grew up and I lost desire,
So sick and tired of getting caught up in the crossfire

Verse 2:
I’m sipping on a forty, while writing my story
I’m flipping to another chapter, some drama no Maury,
Fast forward to my adult days of dating relationships,
I’m thinking about some females - the ones I had no patience with no,
See I was raised by a family full of women,
My mom and sis’ are blessed souls, I never saw them sinning,
That’s why I thought all women were flawless, my misconception,
It gets depressing, just dealing with their shit is stressing,
This chick once told me she needs me… she’d never run,
Said all the things that would please me - that I’m the one,
And looking back I saw some signals that were surely warnings,
Guess I was dazed when on top of her those early mornings,
And then one night I saw that text she got at 3 a.m.
Homie was responding…to a naked pic that she had sent,
And though it stinks I should have gone with my instincts
Love could be confusing…fooled I haven’t been since

And every day that passes, I’m feeling closer to my vision,
I’m always going H.A.M., so you feeling my ambition,
I’m still so empty-handed, you wonder what I bring?
You asked me for my soul, I just gave you everything

Verse 3:
I’ve been so lonely, sometimes I don’t know how to cope,
Caught up in the shuffle, I feel I’m running out of hope,
Plus I watched my friends move on right after graduation,
Some say don’t worry we’ll meet up, I have no patience,
And in between my job and music I just stay busy,
Sometimes I call up my girl come spend the day with me,
Releasing stress while reflecting on where we’re headed,
She never sweat it, she’s saying baby you got to get it,
And I appreciate it, the loving that I’m receiving,
My soul bleeding, pouring out inspiration while I’m grieving
A lot of guys be rapping about that trapping, people bash‘em,
It means the world you watching my back cuz it’s my passion
I’m saying thank you thank you! To all those who support me,
That take me as I am no gimmicks it’s just my story,
And on that train of thought man, your loyalty is all I ask,
People putting their faith in me, I don’t ever fall off task
