I still got my soul
if it’s all I know
made my mistakes, earned my scars
my heart’s not cold, I still got my… soul
(Verse 1)
there is no pathway ahead of me, so I trail blaze…
play this game wit integrity, let em know there’s a way
yeah they_say that you conscious, but you aint selling
start selling, they say you aint conscious
I just wanna give em an option
I just wanna break these boxes
dealin wit fake sh**, dealin with hatred
dealin wit places where nothing is sacred
stuck in the Matrix, dealin wit people that lovin enslavement
I got no chain for the savior, cuz no one gon’ save us
in the city of angels, city of demons
dear God give me somethin to pray for
give me somethin to believe in, I been duckin these haters, dealin with snakes, don’ trust in their favors
don need to catch up with neighbors
don need to puff on these vapors
used to live life blunted, and wonder where the day went
trippin at night wit synthetic light
dance in the shadows wit masqueraders
now I’ll never go back, memories in my brain like kodak
made it so far, gotta remember…. why I do this, an hold that…..
in my minds vision… hold that in my minds vision
not about_copin these whips and f****** these hos
let it be known this a higher mission
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
been underground, levellin up now
this the point I can never give up now
this the point where the devils show up now
with 2 bad chicks ready to f*** now
how do you want it? Do you want to pleasure? Do you want money?
I know you want something...
you can be famous in the eyes of the public, we’ll give you that coverage
people just wanna be entertained, like shadows on cave walls
don’t matter who’s real and who are the puppets
just give em your poison, they'll love it
na… I don want nothing, cuz people I’m one with
they judge em, but dealing wit gods, in glass ceiling, so what’s above it...
I wonder...
do we just wanna f***, like we forgot what love is ?
do we jus wanna see the blood and not feel the pain from the heart that pump it?
I need healing, from the trauma my ancestors suffered
colonized, civilized mind, slow death, killing us bloodless
addicted to feedin that hunger, that’s a part of my past that I’m don with
got back up and I learned from it
now I stay on this path with a compass
it’s a cold game, who you trust in?
with this dirty money, would you touch it?
I’m out the cave, will I reach the summit?
I’m close to the edge and pray I don’t plummet
(Chorus)
