Free

(album: Kaizen - 2021)

Knowledge

Your cards dealt the way they dealt and they gon' fall how they fall
Above all, keep your faith and press on
Life gon' always beat you down when your will ain't strong
A testament to true survival of course
I feel like I ran a million miles and still can't see the finish
With the time indeed, I do believe I need some self forgiveness
I been looking at life through biased lenses
How'd I become my biggest critic?
Cinematography my vision, painting these pictures, what I've written is like
Autobiographical, it's masterful, no masters tho
Fully controlling my surroundings, swimming in circles round
They're drowning, lapping 'em while I'm looking forward
My state of mind is earning more
In perpetuity as I promote my promiscuity
This empathy's for all, I'm giving enough love for you and me
In attempts to utilize my fullest potential like you've never seen
Existential realness in the flesh left in the mezzanine
The regrets of yester year, I shake 'em off, I'm on to better things
Randy Savage with my inner demons I been wrestling
Counting myself out, I'm in need of confidence like new kings
Trying to manage and motivate
Make the most of my situation every single day
I take advantage and demonstrate
A delicate tightrope for the ministry
Things get cutthroat in this industry
Making you sip but they don't got the remedy
Stealing your inner peace and all your energy
Taking it from you collectively
I'm looking for more than the penance
Another penny for an image
I paint a solitary sentence and put it inside of a message to resonate

Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free
I pray you set me free
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free
I pray you set me free
I'm praying it sets me free from this pain that I feel
I pray it sets me free from this life that I live
I pray it sets me free from this jail
Live from my living hell, caged in by this solitary cell
I pray it sets me

Free and alive, I'm lifted
Thanking the powers that be I'm gifted
Giving 'em everything I got
Within the stars all this was written
Never sold my soul, I played my role, that's all a part of the mission
Nothing is given, taking a piece of the pie that's mine before they get it
Trying to starve my intuition, maybe malnourish my spirit
When the truth is in the rearview than who can see it the clearest
With appreciations of the hard times, they're endearing
Never let a loss determine where I'm going, how I'm steering
I got venom inside of me like a vitamin hitting like a vicodin
Go pass me the lighter then and I'll ride up with it
Feel my enlightened vision
Gotta build what cannot be crumbled
Like a phoenix that flew from the rubble
I rely on my heart, my hustle
Can't fold, gotta get through the struggle

Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free
I pray you set me free
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free (Set me free)
Set me free
I pray you set me free
I'm praying it sets me free from this pain that I feel
I pray it sets me free from this life that I live
I pray it sets me free from this jail
Live from my living hell, caged in by this solitary cell
I pray it sets me
