lyrics

Open my eyes and rising/ Woke up my soul and I’ve been
applying pressure/
Guess I’m refining my coal in diamonds/
Learning as newer scholars/ earning pursuing honors/
Grew up with bluer collars and knew what we do for dollars
is turn the given to greater/
Taking the lo-fi and making the most by aiming the scope high/
Shoot for the stars/
I’m off in pursuit for the cause/
No running from shortcomings, finding truth in the flaws/
In my ear I’m hearing Lucifer’s calls/
The other side, I’m hearing the cries of an angel like its music through walls/
Never could make the words out, I freestyled the rest of it/
And reroute and rebound if we found a precipice/
Seek out the best of us/
peeped how the lesser was a label that we carried and buried
Alter perspective
As I rose higher when hope and desire been frozen and mired in colder environments/
Throw fire and light a trail/
so whether it’s flight or fail, we might avail/
Understanding follows the feeling like we’re reciting braille/
I write a tale that’s deeper than blood and bone/
Of those seeking a peace so they’re reaching where wasn’t known/
People keeping a piece of defeat as another stone
to build on the base as a feature of how one has grown/
So I’m opening eyes and rising/
whether we’re 9 to 5ing, or enterprising/
Yet still I find that we’re improvising/
but made a way through grinding/
The day to day providing, redefined it/
and made an art form out of surviving
