Table For One

Witness rebirth of a man to a God Stories of days inside of a cage Overcoming thru odds nearly born a statistic Inflicted incisions and flaws but knew my soul was shaping Something greater I couldn't withdraw A heavy battle on spirit never bury these scars Subtle reminders that help me Circumvent in a spark when life was Pushing me on the ropes, had me eye on a charge And kept my pulse from falling in standards That the current applauds The hidden ace inside a deck of cards Shuffled hands out in silence while repainting my scars It's best to check ya bet at the table For you chip at the sharks, to keep it a straight I'm a royal flush and know we ain't on par Channeled my conscious to conquer Watch me chisel and carve Feed a man a fish for a day watch him sell you a carp It seems to captivate when your hunger is soft Felt remorse for those who took a Chunk of my soil, now I'm planted in moss Grew from times of depression to a glorious soldier God put heir in my larynx Making mountains from boulders Motives bolden like James, worthy harden my carry Stepping back and shooting with valor vetting we honor glory Mixed of Garvey and Malcolm without the somber mourning Touch of Hades ain't hating I see our system failing Mothers struggle to cover babies from terror raising Dare we change the cycle 'fore idols swallow and shroud Think it's cool to get some clicks Like checks for chains and ball out But see tomorrow's never promise gotta live for the now See doubt was all I ever needed getting confidence out Go box me out as an underdog 'Til I'm the shot heard around
