Bittersweet Tendencies

Lyrics

Intro: As I notice the sunbeam Bright on my forehead I'm sweating Far from stressing But still tryna be something Verse 1: Write me a symphony Pray that it gets to me Whisper me sweet nothings I have some bittersweet tendencies I-— grow as man But the boy inside me still lives Smoking makin the man high But the boy inside him it kills I gotta live with this bittersweetness Envision Egypt As the Pyramids stand The sand filled with people Inhale the freedom Exhale the dеmons I know you see em It's gorgeous evеn For the Florida region Gotta gift with my words I heard it was more than speaking Anybody can say it But you do more to reach em They bored with teachings Moral preachings Form allegiance Gotta speak to they soul And see ya self Can't ignore ya weakness [Chorus]: You can find Truth inside You and I Don't know What you did to me Bittersweet Tendencies (Bittersweet) x2 Verse 2: I could Paint you a picture To show the —flaws In the system And how we lost From our roots But we find our way through the rhythm How we can take the pain And become a stronger existence How we can date our name Back before our massa Could give em The plot has thickened There's more to the story The clocks ticking My fall from grace Left me shame But I'm back on pace To my mission According to my proceedings I've been forgiven For being born black Been broke since the beginning Well — I'm biracial & lately been living faithful I'm keepin the shit in tact To my city A vital staple.—aye You gotta be who you are Cause you can't escape YOU Even When the man in mirrors hard to relate too [Chorus] Verse 3: See how they do us It be the cowards to shoot us Just know ya life Inspired at 1000 Entrepreneurs I'll be the first to the venue The marathon will continue Taking the stairs mind-set Embedded into my mental Look how we killin our leaders That do prevail Hard to care for another life When you don't care for ya self The first step is to acknowledge Ya pain Can't bottle it up forever You full throttle insane Dang Find release There's peace Within reach You speak They can't see You must show & teach Demonstration will penetrate them You gotta shed light on they situation
