I grew up lookin up to the dealers, now I’m lookin up to the healers
now I’m tryin to hustle this medicine, in my music, can you feel it?
(x2)
livin the change is feelin the pain, sometimes...
but you don’t have to feel it again
from years past them nightmares are still in my veins, engrained into my memory
the difference is, now I look into mirror and see no enemy
I chose to play this game that’s more competitive than it’s ever been
with snakes so venomous, that spit that poisonous rhetoric
but I transform it into the medicine that make me a better man
I’m all in, God couldn’t give me no better hand, I trust that
but I never was one to trust no devilish reverend
blazin up blunts wit bible passages, laced with amphetamines
pass it around the casket of my past, R.I.P, give my sentiments
turn my back, moving forward, now to life I give my reverence
on stages, blazin' mics, it’s a marvelous sight
to see these visions manifest from the pages, as the novelist write
(Chorus)
when the nights get cold
shadows reachin for ya soul
jus know...
we will be that light house (light house)
to help you find ya way home
(Verse 2)
I know one day I'll blow up, I wonder if it’s my time yet
these dreams been on consignment, but that devil that’s in the fine print
land of smoke and mirrors, what’s left when that smoke clears?
what’s left when you have no fear?
I represent for the seers, not deceivers
or true believers
release my truth to the ethers, connect wit the souls
reflecting back the truth you already know, so I will meet you halfway
we’ll find that pathway, through the dark
on the rise, that Phoenix flies, it all started from that spark
yeah death I been so close and that breath of the reaper’s cold
but now that door is closed, and it’s life I chose
I write these flows for those standing at that crossroads
remember you never alone
feelin the winds of change, ahead of us blown strong
we gotta rise as one, and we know that enemies close
temptations I been facing, gotta leave it alone, stay in my zone
remember to just breathe... slow... let that energy flow...
represent this journey, giving that remedy from my soul
(Chorus)
