The Lakes

Feel like no escape around here Like no peace around here Daily tasks that's in my life they always testing my faith Can someone help me escape Into a happier place I'm trying to fill the hole inside me 'for I become irate Devil the antagonist, manifest holy place I'm falling fast I gotta go to the lakes I need a smile for my face 'For my stress becomes my fate I need to find some happiness before it ends up too late Man What is happiness We toss that word around freely Peace, women, clothing some might even say some money man 24 no money man RIP to Kobe man Why have fame and fortune when you could just be a happy man Before you ask me I'm rapping 'cuz I like it Take away the money and I still feel like I'd rap a bit Not a bit I'd rap a lot I might sign to Rap-a-Lot If my records remain hot Be on tracks with black thought Dawg What's life without a family To share your blessings with that way you don't be feeling lonely And I don't mean your blood Your blood don't always love you I'm glad I don't relate to that 'cuz that could traumatize a dude Thankful for my parents they so dope and understanding Glad with where I'm at I thank them for all their commandings I lack faith sometimes Many can relate to that Sometimes when I think I feel like God is there with me at times But other times it's like he on that John Cena It's like I'm center court and he just outside the arena Got everything I need Some money, a stable family Despite all that I'm still down sometimes Fighting with faith Jealous of Christians that got more than me Being strong in religion seems like a luxury Many people struggle with their faith But that's not always a bad thing Sometimes it takes bad experiences to lead to good ones When you have these negative experiences You have to see the bright side in them It's difficult but achievable Too many people let their thoughts eat at them To the point where it becomes fatal Some people look at suicide as a joke But it's a growing issue Some people might even laugh at people who participate In such a devastating activity Happiness is doable, but it takes a deliberate effort And I just want you to know that you have what it takes To make that effort Believe me, I've lived long enough to know
