A Presence & a prescience.
I swear that I was blessed with more than black skin ,I got a second sense
Somewhere out there it's making sense.
I got an Angel in the wings, and another in the outfield.
Spilling all my guts out like I'm dying here.
I only matter for a moment then I disappear.
Like an 8 ball saying that "futures not clear"
Are we ever living ? Man I'm trying here.
Round 1 at the concourse.
I swear this never gets old in a life full no remorse.
We change lanes, and we change roles.
I swore nothing change me but of course I was dead wrong..
We lose ourselves and we lose our way,
try to find our way back and we end up in the wrong lane.
I was trying to find change.
When you only chase gold you can end up in a dark place.
No cap no fill, I've woken up Broke lights off, unskilled.
Hard to feel like your a star. When you're homes a UHaul and you've been sleeping in your car.
Had to operate the end like the end was me.
Had to play the game for keeps not no wannabe.
Parted all of my haters like the red sea.
Watch em burning like a bush that's in front of me.
Remember when I hung my head in shame.
Now I'm high as a kite sippin champagne on an airplane.
This is what dreams are made of .
Man you can't tell me anything.
Dirty ass apartments, day labor paying rent,
Cinder block motel rooms, desperate In the darkness.
Eating like like an animal in gas station parking lots.
Showering at a gym I can't afford but it's all I got.
Dead malls and the empty bars, felt the weight of broken promises and broken hearts.
Empty light coming on when it's not the last mile.
Waking up to mag court after you just beat a charge.
Went from an exile to a lifestyle.
Moved to the West coast , I had to leave the south.
Future brighter with a pre roll in mouth.
I can't forget those days even though I made it out.
Standing on a beach where the forest meets the sea
Think about my brother's and the ones that used to be .
Wish that I could share with them the beauty and the peace.
And Everywhere I go it's angels always looking out for me .
