I've been running for a long time You've been trying to free my mind Can I be more than what I've always been Or will I be the worst mistake that you've had yet You've been waiting for the day Where I stood taller than the mess I made So if I shed a tear have no fear I'm just glad that my love for you has become crystal clear I never gave a single thought to what the end was Or what our last day on Earth could even really be Now I'm drinking all alone in a crowded room Wondering if you can see the things that I can see In a world like yours Every day you gotta live for and adore I feel like a hierophant the last few months The way I had to open my windows but close the doors I can't take it anymore But that's life sometimes Contact with death costs life sometimes Worries I've been having of never reaching my prime That's wack I'm a jewel where's the beat? Bring it back! Now I'm back and I'm conscious I don't rap I just fucking drop stress Changing up the temp inside the room like I'm a hot press Y'all acting you been bigger than me because I got less I been making moves of my own that's on progress Tryna be buying homes for my homies in the Projects Just wait and see until I finish up all my projects Finna be signing y'all left and right but I digress Make you cry and never apologize call me Jay Elec' And to my best friend you made me You're on the other side but in another time maybe I'll find you again and we can savor everything we see Until then though it's meant to be I've been running for a long time You've been trying to free my mind Can I be more than what I've always been Or will I be the worst mistake that you've had yet You've been waiting for the day Where I stood taller than the mess I made So if I shed a tear have no fear I'm just glad that my love for you has become crystal clear Stuck and all alone With nowhere to go No place to call home No one to call my own I remember the old days When the world was less gray When the sky wasn't falling When you were always calling But that was back then this is now And I couldn't be more proud Of the man I've become now Show 'em how show 'em how show 'em how I just thought out my destiny Planned out my 5 years like Chance the Rapper with some weaponry Gotta rebound like I'm Sabonis with a chance for rings Now I'm back for crowns and I'm snatchin' em I'm passionate compassionate don't ask for it like Shaq wit' it I'm baskin' like my boys back home baskin' in my love and glory even after the song I'm speakin' truth to power like Jesus even after he's gone Givin' lessons to cure depression then leave me alone I sing and spit like I'm Aubrey I feel classic like Hov I give messages like Kanye before the Patron Tryna lift up communities like I'm K-Dot or Cole I could say more but man I think you already know now now Now I'll make it real simple to say the least The folks around here finna know me as the beast of the east And when it's all said and done and I've stated my piece They'll call me a pastor 'cause I never spoke I preached peace I've been running for a long time You've been trying to free my mind Can I be more than what I've always been Or will I be the worst mistake that you've had yet You've been waiting for the day Where I stood taller than the mess I made So if I shed a tear have no fear I'm just glad that my love for you has become crystal clear
