stir of my echoes in my head saying keep goin black man
through all the trials you been through its inevitable to advance
I guess you gotta take a chance i guess you gotta strive for wins
even with no legs I still would have went out on a limb
im makin it make sense since then i been paving ways
you ever wondered why the caged bird sings but still confined to the cage
in the midst tryna cope with rage in a daze tryna see my signs
people might not read books but u learn to read between the lines
i always pray to the most divine waiting to exhale like loretta devine
i put my feelings on the back burners it burned me up to keep from crying
self motivation to hold me up i really think i found the formula
tangled up in a web of lies at one time i was once a tarantula
then i flipped like spatula there\'s no way i could be mad at them
just cause you grown dont mean that you grown up
in life you gotta take ownership even when you don\'t own much
seats rearranged when i changed up i took the highs and lows evenly
i just wanna live heavenly its the light that they see in me
i just had to believe in me, i just had to...
