These rhymes are therapy/whole album written just to bare the me you barely see/strong friend, rarely anybody there for me and hell if I let em/rather stand on my own, plus these shoes were made for steppin’/born wild but mellowed out as time went though progression/no magic carpet rides here, shit, a nigga been stressin’/tested and tryna make the best, utilize all my blessings/standin’ 10 toes and 4 arms, survivin’ the lessons/some needed, others was extra which sho kept me from flexin’/but still got the 12s in the trunk, you lookin’ for pressure/none of my efforts ever wasted, off the strength though/took plenty Ls, had to flip those, you know how it goes/and still got some on me, ay I guess I ain’t pitch it right/but life was throwin’ curveballs, hittin’ my lips sometimes/and I ain’t quick to dodge, had to take it all/so ain’t no issue hard to face, even if I take a fall It’s hard to say what I want sometimes/hard to pray, hard enough to stay afloat sometimes/hard to keep the pace, but you know I won’t slow down/but for now, no losin’ hope, just smile Cuz I be givin’ all I got sometimes/always on a mission, deep in thought, can’t stop the grind/I ain’t losin’ faith, just ventin’ till the smoke runs out/so for now, no losin’ hope just smile So, whats the difference between a grin and a grimace?/whether I bare on or arms it’s all just for a sentence/if it’s written, maybe I’ll find a couple ears that’ll listen/before I’m riffin’ like Jim Morr, and the doors I get to kickin’/spinnin’ out ain’t an option, beside myself for the record/like the cover of my 2nd album. But this another level/tryna find the grand design in my flaws/practice perfecting the climb from all the times that I’d fall/so if November hits and I’m still gone, just know I’m workin’ strong/tryna find some deeper meaning to this path that I’m on/can barely even see the surface, couldn’t fathom the form/needed to go the distance, sprintin’, I ain’t laggin’ no more/just know the passion is raw/so don’t even ask him to talk if ain’t no action involved/and pardon me as I’m passin’, mane I go places to go/I ain’t in a rush, you just movin’ too slow It’s hard to say what I want sometimes/hard to pray, hard enough to stay afloat sometimes/hard to keep the pace, but you know I won’t slow down/but for now, no losin’ hope, just smile Cuz I be givin’ all I got sometimes/always on a mission, deep in thought, can’t stop the grind/I ain’t losin’ faith, just ventin’ till the smoke runs out/so for now, no losin’ hope just smile

Enlightenment ain’t a state of being, or knowing. It’s an ideal we should always strive for. Never stop growing. If I could take it back to the beginning/I wouldn’t skip the journey, might step a little bit differently/but was molded by the moves I made from here to infinity/so any stubbed toe was just a catalyst for energy/whether I’m at peace or fightin’ my inner me/I’m mindful of the task at hand, plottin’ where I’m finna be/every day above ground is a win, might not always get the decision but I’m swingin’ to the end/like it don’t mean a thing, doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop/done gained strength through every bit of the pain and ain’t got dropped, yet/if I did, it’s just a part of the flow/you know who it goes, so on and so forth/fifth and sixth and more, more you know I’m good for a hit/these bruises and scars tell what I couldn’t write with the pen/but y’all don’t hear me though even with this mic in my hand/if I said it louder, they’d tell me turn it down in Japan/meditation helped me get where I am/but I ain’t stayin’ stagnant, waitin’ on a spaceship to land/I’d rather blast off on my own if I gotta jam/pocket full of rhythms feelin’ like the man/any design you recognize is divine yanam sayin’ it’s the search that makes it grand. And it goes.
