Lost Souls

Lost Soul Can I, Can I Can I, Can I Speak my piece I pray for peace to a lost soul At a cross roads Between stark reality and false hope That type of mentality keep your heart froze But who's to blame when the world Sees genes as bar codes And aimed arsenals at our souls Tryna keep us down Til the day we're underground Feel like if you ain't coming up The only other option is to drown Well listen here gather round I ain't the most educated But I'm dedicated to gaining A piece of knowledge with every Single step that I'm taking Every breath that I'm wasting And I mean that literally It's not a metaphor or simile I let too many bad energies Get a hold of me steering my diplomacy Veering me off the path of growing how I'm supposed to be I mean Plant a seed and grow a tree Watch it lose a leaf and recover Sprout another for the world to breathe That's how you and me Are supposed to be Helping each other succeed Even when damage puts pressure on the seams And leaves you tethered feeling weathered Like there's rough seas Just hang with me please Maybe the other side is a paradise But the other side's for another night So tonight lets live like This life is a paradise Even if the other side is a paradise Cause we can wait for another night And live life like we want Like this life is a paradise I pray for peace to a lost soul Trials and tribulations A road filled with revelations Til the destination But theres beauty in the journey I can promise that Even when my vices hurt me I still battle back And theres power in that So carry on like a dove within the wind Even if you lose your way Face your demons with a grin And say, I ain't losing I feel free So f*ck the institutions They don't give a damn about me I got my own back Made a left and sculpted out my own path Like Odell with a toe drag Why I ain't hit your phone back? Cause I was in the zone jack Battling my foes Got a long way to go Before my eyes shut close One day the lights went low Felt like the clocks moved slow Stayed at the dock til dawn And I went up in smokes Spent the whole night contemplating What's the price of being patient Cause if time is really money There's a lot that I been wasting If they hating change the station Up the pace if they're adjacent It's a race but you can take your time It's just fine Cause the only real enemy Is resting inside Of your mind And you'll find in due time That your shine is aligned with The stars In the sky Take a pause your alright You're in charge of the fight And if my time comes soon and I leave I just pray that you listened to me, and find peace Maybe the other side is a paradise But the other side's for another night So tonight let's live like This life is a paradise Even if the other side is a paradise Cause we can wait for another night And live life like we want Like this life is a paradise I pray for peace to a lost soul
