day in the mountain

Through these hard times, I had to take a break Had to sit down, rethink, to get my mind straight Earlier this afternoon I went for a ride Been a couple of months since I rode with Lil Red These past few months I've been on the road Cashing checks, spending time with my shorty Time ticking by, I'm at peace when I'm writing my poetry I'm low-key with it So don't get surprised when you see me at my highest You wasn't at my lowest, to see all the suffering and pain But I don't really like to show it, God showed me the ways Used the energy to help me grow, gave the lord my reigns Gave the lord my reigns Gave the lord my reigns Gave the lord my reigns You know keep striving Keep prospering, you know what I'm saying Lord Always Keep your head up high Praise God, Lord Always Lord Always When I was young I thought I had this comfort forever I thought wrong, the only Father I have is my Lord and my Brother Been two years since I've lost my granddad Now seven months since I lost my own pops I feel misunderstood in this time and place Even though I'm low I keep up the pace Cause life ain't easy for young Native Living And all these worldly desires to keep you sinning But I remember what my granddad said, "Be true to yourself" and everything will fall into place Just finish the race Keep up today Live with a purpose like you living today Stay smooth with it, how I groove with it How I move with it With the motion in the ocean Like a wave, came an save the day Lord Always Praise God You know what I'm saying A smooth native I move with a purpose Praise God you know what I'm saying Keep movin' keep strivin' keep prosperin' You know what saying Lord Always
