I’m at the intersection
somewhere between Earth and Heaven
birth and death and resurrection
looking back on the map of my life, reflectin and rappin my introspection the curses and stressing, learning of lessons, losing direction
the pain and depression’s what made me mix music and message
and it took so much to get here-but-now the view is majestic
I guess these
many grays done gave me perspective
I’ve seen that sometimes right behind the grief is hiding a blessing
and other times, it is what it is, and the globe still spins
we cry those tears then dry them off get up and fight again
sometimes we’re caught up in what might have been
start reminiscing on our past like the sunlight was so much brighter then but every chapter has beginning and ends
and every road has hazards and invisible bends
so day to day I pray surrounding myself with literal friends
and I see God in my family, my own spiritual cleanse
it’s too real to pretend
too real to pretend
too real to pretend
it’s too real to hide
I count my blessings as I roll with the tide
I know the Most High is driving, I’m along for the ride
I turn the music up, drop the top, possibly
just watch it all unfold it’s how it’s gotta be
sit back, relax, I’m just enjoying the view
trying to take in all the beauty ‘fore the journey is through
it’s too real
feels too fast
I’m trying to live in the minute before it moves past
hold onto my children, kiss and hug em,
tell em I love em never knowing how long this moment will last
raise them to fear none
with memories in their hearts of all-of-the-times we spent
laughing ‘til the tears come
so when they get to where I am at the bend
they’ll know that, the meaning of wealth is-all-of-your family and friends it’s too real to pretend
too real to pretend
too real to pretend
it’s too real to hide
I count my blessings as I roll with the tide
I know the Most High is driving, I’m along for the ride I turn the music up
count my blessings as I roll with the tide
I know the Most High is driving, I’m along for the ride I turn the music up
count my blessings as I roll with the tide
I know the Most High is driving, I’m along for the ride
I turn the music up
drop the top, possibly
just watch it all unfold it’s how it’s got to be
tryna see the blue through the clouds, and the green through the snow see the stars behind the smog right through the ominous glow
I wanna see my garden grow from-all-of-the seeds that I sow
but it seems the older you get, then the faster it goes
I wanna, sit back, relax, and just enjoy the view
try to take in all this beauty ‘fore the journey is through
