lyrics

SHADOW GALLERY [Produced by Dusty Loops]

It’s all been leading to this moment/ all that I was, I disowned it/ all that I am, I just honed it/
To spit poems with emotion, stripped down to my soul and exposed it/
Holding this pad, the pen is a conduit to infuse mind & matter and take it beyond music/
It’s all lucid, see all for what it’s worth when all the inner hurt gets lost within a verse/
Dissolved within a search for how it came to be/ I spit with hindsight so now it’s plain to see/
That we live with blind sight and how we frame the free are those that shine light when we’re afraid to see/
With fates interwoven, told that it was written/ and thought that it was spoken, most of us didn’t listen/
So I shifted focus, hoping this rendition goes a different road and closes this perdition/
So I script an opus, an each note is influence by the people I’ve need to keep close/
Perceiving is believing and feeding us deep hope when the reasoning for breathing is fleeting, so we cope
The best way we can with our fate in the balance, because day to day people pray for a way they can manage/
Day to day we delay from surveying the damage, and find a way to escape, I purvey with a palate/
Let your mind be the canvas, the pen is the paintbrush/ the colors are the words and records collecting crate dust/
Makes us all artists, the shape of the picture is made by the hardships just the way we envision it/
The frame of the images, the language and penmanship came from the flame, there aint a label to fit it with/
I figure it out, scribble it out as I’m living it with lyrics that shout, shifting the route from predicaments
To green pastures/ I speak chapters from the book of life, and it took a mic to see past the limitations we impose/
Flows draped in liberation, free the soul/ Scrolls laced with pain and agony, plus the chains that entangle me/
I learn to break free, and how I shape my reality is quite clear/
Life’s here, time to take it from the bassinet to the casket’s depths, it’s what you make it/
