Issues Of Life (feat. Schwamae)

From your first breath till your last heartbeat The world presents mess to ingest – your heart eats What your soul accepts & passes to it If bad nutrients, a bad influence If good sustenance, become the truest Living water or spirits? Select the fluids What you eat & drink becomes what you think From within actions flow & patterns link Of behavior, satan or savior Character crafted by what you savor Disciplined? Or giving in to cravings Results determined by what you're staving Life or death in dietary restrictions Heaven or Hell prevail from convictions Reject delects with defects, they are rife Guard your heart, out of it issues of life Guard your heart with all your might Against evil you must fight With glory comes strife These are the issues of life Guard your heart with all your might Rise above hate & spite Don't let pain dim your light These are the issues of life Old men dream dreams, young men see visions Divine revelation, divine appearance Power granted to those that accept the Spirit Wind whistles, ripples through hearts ready to hear it Tongues of fire burn through impurities Now you hear the voice of the Surety Debt paid in full, toasting with new wine Filled to the brim, drunkenness, a new kind Keeps you sober from the world's intoxication Strong foundation wards off indoctrination An impregnable fortress, joint forces We ride, white knights, heavenly armed on horses Fighting wicked wizards who whisk bewilderedly Whom wish to wilt wills with artillery Designed to shatter souls for infinity Guard your heart; reside in the Divinity Guard your heart with all your might Against evil you must fight With glory comes strife These are the issues of life Guard your heart with all your might Rise above hate & spite Don't let pain dim your light These are the issues of life Guard your heart with all your might Against evil you must fight With glory comes strife These are the issues of life Guard your heart with all your might Rise above hate & spite Don't let pain dim your light These are the issues of life Your heart is the most precious thing you own Don't play with it or let them take your soul You must know your value & your worth Or you'll pay the price These are the issues of life Life issues are inevitable Twin to solutions, inseparable Problems, death, & taxes, all guaranteed Brackets impact finances, breadth of need Suffocated by loans, barely can breathe Last breath a bill to assuage corporate greed Minding money, resigned to dying dreams Unmet goals, ripping souls/soles, clothes tattered seams Unwhole singles try to forge into teams Tensions boil in the pot till it steams Business on front street, other spill the tea Divorce lawyers collect checks, they up the fee Toxic; friends dissolve in the area Couldn't hang, they see flaw in the character Narcissistic, with jaws of hysteria Decisions, the cause of embarrassment Addictions, the addition of habits Redundant behaviors leave one stagnate As Phil Connors stuck in time, Groundhog Day Fear feeds failure, singing "I Got You Babe" Doused in depression, drowning in loss Bad health reigns/rains if defeat becomes the boss As a man thinks in his heart, so is he Don't let life's issues control your being
