lyrics

Look
Hold up wait a minute
I don't play positions
Staying on a mission my ambition keeps me driven
Living in between conditions I was deep in my transition
If I say it it was written if you hate it it's division
If I'm paid it's commission if it's playing then you listen
Words cut deep what I'm saying it's incision
Life is heavy I was ready everyday I'm dodging prison
My brother got shot every day I hope he visits
So my faith is my extension and I pray and stay consistent
One foot in one foot out just the way I'm coexisting
I ain't saying so religious I'm a saint with no forgiveness
I'm saying so horrendous that today my soul is drifting
And the way you know I'm gifted is the pace I po position
The way I know I'm different is the way I stay consistent
Concise concision
Precise precision
Feeling like my life can see the heights intended
Build bridges of trust that bear the weight of truth
Still dealing with the stuff that I can't recoup
See why you ain't into loot
That's my daily pursuit
You can't persuade me to shoot
That don't even compute

Oooh all alone when the lights die
Trying to find something like a lifeline
Heavy on the shoulders and ready for the fight trying never mind
Wrong place at the right time
Yeah
All alone when the lights die
Trying to find something like a lifeline
Heavy on the shoulders and ready for the fight trying never mind
Wrong place at the right time

Yo I been trying to get the head straight shed that dead weight
Run it up until the legs ache and the bread breaks
It's a lot up on the chest plate
Check it I'm a be honest feel like I'm breaking beneath that burden they placing upon us
Mama called me crying steady losing her composure
Said baby I been trying but it's too much on the shoulders
Told her I'm a find the time
Got problems of my own but
I wanna make it better like your baby boys supposed to
Out here trying to navigate a world I don't fit in with
Hate us when we gone I know they probably gonna miss this
Might've got it wrong another product of conditions
Just another song about the struggle not what this is
This is something different
And it did what it did a vibe to connect with
Got me lifted I'm a live how I live
Shine when I'm tested
Take time to reflect and link with my brother minds intersected
My tribe in the trenches
Keep wise with intentions
Tested

Oooh all alone when the lights die
Trying to find something like a lifeline
Heavy on the shoulders and ready for the fight trying never mind
Wrong place at the right time
Yeah
All alone when the lights die
Trying to find something like a lifeline
Heavy on the shoulders and ready for the fight trying never mind
Wrong place at the right time
