lyrics

I got a never ending battle quiet down and hear the rattle
It's a cattle-like mentality, excuse me as I battle me
I'd rather be broke and respected for my honesty
Than rich convincin' all of 'em that this the way it gotta be
I probly got about a couple steps ahead of me
I realign my lower self, step back with yall I let it be
Forgetting me I reacquainted with the higher self
Asked to be forgiven he was like "yo what you talkin' bout?"
It's not needed if it's ego don't you feed it
If ya bleedin' best believe band-aids alone could not defeat it
I'm seated in the middle, but little did I know
A little more was all I needed now I see the glow
It's horrible my thoughts was rangin' in they lowest forms
Aura glow was slowin' mo', had to resurrect the flow
The code was broken had to will it never hopin'
Always open with intelligence, the weak you'll see it seldom is
I'm tellin' kids they tellin' me I need some necklaces
All they role models reppin' shit and with some recklessness
I'm next to hit I best to get all they attention and
Battlin' the ignorant and all I hear is "Finish Him!"
I'm innocent and yet the law believe I isn't it
He threaten all they profits so they lock him for they benefit
Irrelevant the passionate cannot be silenced
The highest self can overcome without the need of violence
I can't awaken, I know this gotta be a dream
I can't be breakin' for I know I am a part of team
It's hard it seems, keep your heart in all the proper things
Love will emanate for life provides it opportunity
