Wrote This

Lyrics

[Intro] These forces that often remake time and space That can shape and alter who we imagine ourself to be Begin long before we are born and continue after we perish [Verse 1] It's been a long time, since we're talking openly I acted out so ya'll would notice me, I'm awkward socially Was told I should find God, while holding these rosary beads Seems everybody knows what we need, except for us I just know I'm growing these seeds, they need some groceries Please, it's so cold that we freeze, unless police said it Then someone close to me bleeds uncontrollably We get it, nobody's free, you pretend, for lost souls My poetry breathes through my pen And hopefully I see you again Until then, I'll leave you with how deep you extend And I'mma see you ascend from beneath you condemned When telling Jesu your sins that's between you and him And all the evil shit that we do's just a means to an end This here's a preview, for friends and family that fell victim to the construct They're in hell I'd share a cell with 'em for my conduct Another product of a failed system ya'll just mock us It's too hard to deal with realism I don't got much Just wisdom I accquired through life, it burns inside you They feel it in the fire you write, but words divide you Let's pretend we try to unite the hate and the love Imagine what we're capable of, and what's attainable We'll make the unbreakable budge, at least eventually Never be the same as it was, but if you let it be It's better than breaking a bud and smoking chronic Acting lackadaisical, buzzed, you'll go beyond it I promise if I'm lying I'll die, it's so ironic We kill ourselves trying to survive, that's why [Hook] Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this For everybody stuck in a spot That's why I wrote this I know ya'll have suffered a lot That's why I wrote this All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody Who's in need of a sign [Verse 2] As the drums hit, the one, and the one hits the two This the dumb shit you do when you run with your crew As a young kid, blunt lit, some sip of brew Changes come quick, most of 'em will jump ship it's true Like some punks it's confusing but it's like a right of passage As we grow up like yo what, part of life is that shit It's so fucked, I know but, you choose to fight the madness Or you'll go nuts, like so what, the world's psychopathic Diesel roll up, point a rifle at us like we're strapped, eating donuts Harassing them 'cuz half my friends are black so we go buck Wild like when animals attack as they show up 'Cuz either way they'll stab you in the back, I don't know much I do know you take it in stride and keep building Trying to find a way to survive for these children Who always seem to imitate the pain that we feeling When really they initiate the change so you can let it go Get to know the inspiration gained and just let it grow Otherwise you'll live today the same, Hey you never know 'Cuz with all this syndicated fame, and material wealth We need some serious help with our priorities As of now we're barely a shell of who we are to be I think how each experience felt, and it's a part of me That's how I stay real to myself, it's who you are to me Not the whole appearance you sell, that shit is meaningless Friends who care what you achieve like they need that shit Will probably just say "fuck you" and leave When you need your clique, the same ones that cut you And bleed your ass dry, only in it for a piece of that pie That's why [Hook] Sometimes the shit that burns in my soul's too much to cope with Asking why the world's so cold, yo I don't know kid But as the world turns and unfolds I'm staying focused Hoping that I'll learn as I go, that's why I wrote this For everybody stuck in a spot That's why I wrote this I know ya'll have suffered a lot That's why I wrote this All I need's a beat and a rhyme to give a voice to anybody Who's in need of a sign
