Adé Hakim - P.T.S. FREE Lyrics

Congratulations
For not staying in the same place
For moving forward
And rejecting the numb sensation
They're comfortable in the darkness
But struggle in the light
Congratulations
You did not surrender
This is war
PTSD triggered like a burst of a gun
I pray that all my fears can disperse into none
I love you but I can't trust the words you've become
I know you at your best is the worst that you've done
I weigh my heart to a feather til the worth is even
Truth I tell knowing well it's the work to be shunned
They'd love to turn my white T to a burgundy one
End of these days means a new birth has begun
I stood up to the snakes, couldn't turn into stone
Made bangers straight from comfort of my home
Anger management, mad money burst through the zone
Couldn't hide the true me, it prefers to be shown
Underground famous made the hater lurk through a screen
Eight years later still stuck and cursed in the scene
I've been uplifting spirits every serving sixteen
One with god the devil can never intervene
(Damn man)
If pressure makes diamonds, I'm a jewel
Gotta build my self up with my tools
See the shadows on the pavement
Gotta buy myself out of enslavement
Buy myself out of enslavement
I see the route
Couldn't do it by myself, I needed help
Heart on my sleeve it's freezing out
Watching history repeat itself
I see the route
Couldn't do it by myself, I needed help
Heart on my sleeve it's freezing out
Watching history repeat itself
(That shit crazy)
I prefer to not write a song on the verge of tears
I love my life like a long cinema of years
A synonym appears in a form of a warm swarm intimate of shares
But the comfort zone left a woke vision get impaired
So I'm up early thinking bout imprisonment in here
Strive to break free from my own crippling fears
Universe is a mirror, as it listens and it hears
Us talk down on ourselves, why do we interfere
A black man bleeding out, why do the people cheer
The crowds can't seem to call out an artificial peer
But they love to turn they backs on a nigga who's sincere
In the midst of all the ignorance that I been near
My momma told me something that will always stick with me for years
They higher self sounds like a calm whisper to the ears
So it's time to tune them out and initiate the prayers
If pressure makes diamonds, I'm a jewel
Gotta build my self up with my tools
See the shadows on the pavement
Gotta buy myself out of enslavement
Buy myself out of enslavement
Man time is the most valuable thing man
You can't ever get time back
So always make it count
Always keep going
And always remember to keep doing what you doing
No matter what anyone say
And you can't do this alone
The toughest battles were never fought alone
So remember that you always got someone on your side
Whether you know it or not
I see the route
Couldn't do it by myself, I needed help
Heart on my sleeve it's freezing out
Watching history repeat itself
(Congratulations)
I see the route
Couldn't do it by myself, I needed help
Heart on my sleeve it's freezing out
Watching history repeat itself
Man you done came so far man
Like I see all the progress you done made
I remember where you was when we first started man
Shit was so rough
But I'm glad to see that you happy now man
I won't be happy all the time
But at least I've come to peace with it
Peace
