(Album: Requiem For A Dream Deferred - 2019)

I been looking for a means to an end
I been tryna find peace once again
Man I sound my lows with the highs
If it went into your soul, it's in your eyes
Then it's best you keep those wide
Never let that light inside you die
Nothing worse than a dream that's been deferred
I concur, I agree, I relate, true indeed
God speed, hope you find the right direction 'fore you make a wrong turn
Bridges burned, lessons learned
We still rising from the rubble like a phoenix out the ash
Time moves as the sand trickles down the hourglass
Got these blindfolded bifocals, praying I don't crash
If I do, no regrets, it was a blast
Nothing lasts, can't move forward if you living in the past
Never really been that sentimental
You can say I been a little temperamental
To the detriment of my inner sanctum, my sacred temple, my fragile mental
It's instrumental, [?], you get the sentiment
I make it evident so that the universe can then leverage it
I'm a testament of pure energies and how beautiful that this life can be
I'm an example of true potential, reach

Backstab, is the world that we living in that bad?
I survived in the terrordome, Mad Max
A Rolex don't co-exist with a Timex
A diamond in the rough, where the fuck you find them?
I get a cheque, nigga you know I'ma blow it all
I should save it, yeah I know you fucking know-it-all
Real nigga shit, I see the fucking hoe in y'all
Let me guess, you do this shit for entertainment, huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah

I done been around the world, only seen a few faces I could recognize
Some'll plot on your demise but the others are just surprised
You alive, survived and thrived
Internally your drive is an engine with unlimited horsepower inside
Take a look under the hood, what do you find?
Something sublime
Getting off your ass, getting on your grind, no that is not a crime
You gotta read between the lines and decipher the bullshit
Practice what you preach, no pulpit
But don't you be coming around with that foolishness
These niggas selling snake oil and hair-brained schemes to get rich quick
Got a viper in your cypher I suggest you dismiss
That poisonous, venomous, envy that they carry with them and hiding within
I'm not here to enlighten mortal men
There's a glitch inside the matrix, this just a portal of sin
They got you believing Jesus really had porcelain skin
Or that it was even Jesus to begin, god damn

Backstab, is the world that we living in that bad?
I survived in the terrordome, Mad Max
A Rolex don't co-exist with a Timex
A diamond in the rough, where the fuck you find them?
I get a cheque, nigga you know I'ma blow it all
I should save it, yeah I know you fucking know-it-all
Real nigga shit, I see the fucking hoe in y'all
Let me guess, you do this shit for entertainment, huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah it's pretty entertaining huh? Huh?
Yeah
