The longest days, the shortest nights, the times I had to scribe how I felt in this life Like dear so and so, or to whom it may concern, I wrote these letters vividly in hopes that you can learn Thru my lens, my ups my downs, my life my sins Blessings trickle down another generation wins Left with a lack of knowledge and they perish in the cold Re-envisioning the future there's a story to be told There's a war going on outside, but there's a catch ‘cause no bullets been fired In the name of self-destruction, everybody lives lies Just look around, how many n***** have died, I'll tell you why Insecure inside a lack of knowledge of self Some problems might arrive, accumulations of wealth The n**** right beside looks like lunch on a shelf c stack of cards too many of us have dealt Sometimes I've felt the same, you survive you just a martyr in pain I ‘dun died a hundred times an anonymous name How many tears does it take for the world to see pain? Peep the visions in my pictures, a preposterous frame For me to codify, the definition of purpose what I personify, and you interpret the means It's easy for a n**** just to sit up and dream but turning wheels not as easy as it seems To get that cream, you ‘gotta have a vision, you ‘gotta have the heart The struggle before the shine will be what sets you apart From the leaches in the languish of a life in the dark, that seek to prey like a treacherous shark On this journey that I embark, I'll never question what it takes to succeed (But I won't) Ever compromise the faith I believe (Even though) ct times I hesitate on where this could lead, I'll be a fool just to settle for greed Father please, help me understand, what it takes to be a man and truly make a stand When Luci has an open hand to each and every demand, I guess it's part of a plan When you swim in troubled waters looking desperate for land ------ Damn Do you have what it takes? To propel in bitter hell where they expect you to break You can lose it all even in the slightest mistake, probably the reason me and you can relate So, my music is no escape from the reality we see Just a meditation on the who we strive to be These letters for sale are merely visions of a dream Press play or rewind, I'll paint the canvas on the screen Let's convene, what's up.
