ALL AROUND ME

Was it all in my head, was it all just a dream I'm drowning in this war zone, you built for me Heart full of shrapnel, and love full of probes Tryna call a truce, but you're taking my soul I don't need a medal for the ugh scars I keep But I need to know, was it love or deceit Tell me, is this how it all ends Yes, well, now it's just little old me Sipping on my ugh lil-ol drinks to detox this nonsense all around me big bullies in my data stream, so I keep it low-key If you ain't living in your purpose, how can you truly be People always judging, let them talk, keep moving with peace Civil war for decades, where I'm from no peace in the streets Seeing my people dying ain't a foreign thing to see Us is separating, build a way from these creeps Build up our power and our land to organize our peace Profiting off all of the scholars that put chains on we Owning instead of leasing, really, anything can be Just taking accountability on actions round tings Always being consistent in the ugh key to your dreams Never giving up if I wanted anything Always being aware, cause everything ain't what it seems I know myself, it means the world if you just get to know me Instead of judging, off appearances , you'll learn some tings It might not be as joyful as the air you breathe, But at least you ain't hurting like I'm hurting from these leeches Don't carry all the stress, it doesn't help you see If I'm hurting now, you're for me, then I ain't gone leave If wanting and needing, are two different thangs I don't wanna condone this behavior If it makes sense for you, but it ain't a good thing for me Would you stick around with me loyally, or leave me dnd (do not disturb) I'm trying to take life seriously, no jokers around me In this life, death is all around me So I move with intentions, to be super cautious Optimism without the negativity Ahh ahhh ahhh ah If it's safe for me, then I might go slide Push my wits to the side Knowing they're tryna end me If it's optional, I'd like to keep trying So I can see what's divine And spread the knowledge, yeah
