MOMENT IN THE SUN (feat. Jonny Farias)

You say you heard a lot about me I wanna know every word I know them gums that like to flap like the wings of a bird I know them lips could sink a battleship when rumors get stirred I know that feeling when there's two slots and you finish in third I know that feeling and I know worse My feelings like a damn curse I feel it in the air, the smell of death, and it sure hurts I know what I know 'cause I been through it My heart been trampled so much I lost count, I need a new one But I know that the hurt don't last forever Might be end of the world for now, but later it's whatever And I know that it's better to feel something than never I'm in my era of causing tremendous tremors Periods are never at the end of my lines Just hit return 'cause I got more to say, pressing for more time Aligning my mind and body to be right with my soul At the end of life, I wanna be right with Jehov' I remember the days when we were close When everything God touched turned into gold But now it's all copper, not proper No options, no stopping, I'm runnin', not walkin' Uh, still I'm Heaven-sent Even God's angels probably gotta pay the rent I whip a Honda, probably never could afford a Benz I parrot off ya, Polly want a cracker and a spliff Homebody, hit the kitchen, open up the fridge I eat a square of Orissa and now I'm taking trips Feeling pretty official, they tack my stripes on Long way from the dorms, I always kept the lights on Everything I wanted, I got it Had to fight for it, 'cause a loss was not an option So I'ma take the punches as they come Waiting 'til I get my moment in the sun I see a face in the water I feel the rain fall, it's washing me over, over I sunk my feet in the torrent I see the clouds part, I wait for my moment My moment Searching for my shelter through the storm Searching for a seat that I could warm All the while a baby boy is born And at the same time, another baby boy is killed For his pair of shoes, a tweaker fiending for a meal Rappers out here, they be fiending for a deal Labels tweaking, asking for your soul, so sign your will Devil in disguise, he got your back 'cause he your homie But he gon' stab you in it, leave you washed up and lonely out here I walk around like everybody know me But nobody familiar, don't nobody know the old me Everybody in the shade, don't nobody see the light Empty in the mid of day, they all coming out at night So blinded, what's your purpose? Go find it All my people on track to a 9-to-5 dead-end Co-signing coke rhyming, love violence 'Til that same lifestyle end with you losing your best friend Black lives still matter, you just don't post no more Busy hailing your new corporate overlords I did the same, I did my time inside my mental prison Until the healing that I prayed for came to fruition The world is toxic, and peace is unresponsive Until we can acknowledge our sins, we can't be flawless "How are you feeling?" Fine, I walk with a mask on Two whole years, I didn't think it'd take that long Guilty conscience weighing on me with the past But if I don't move on, I'm just gon' finish in last My eyes are open, let's come together as one Waiting 'til we get our moment in the sun I see a face in the water I feel the rain fall, it's washing me over, over I sunk my feet in the torrent I see the clouds part, I wait for my moment My moment in the sun In the sun In the sun
