Longevity got me on roads I'll never forget
No need for pity I found a tone deserve what I get
I never forget my choices never made for the worst
They made for the rest I raise myself up made me the best
And all the oppressed that face injustice
Makes me feel pressed but they will express
What they gon feel the damage is already done
And they will always heal hopes growing now from the sun
And this feels all too real heavenly feelings surreal
I looked at my reflection I'm bound to reach perfection
But that's a misconception I'm in the wrong direction
Cause I needed correction resurrection is my son
Projecting my own complexion connecting others perceptions
It's a matter of understanding a matter of withstanding
The past is the past I'm standing moving on now
I'm handing lessons they need to know a way to make them go
A way for me to show that everyone has grown
My eyes not blurry the dark had got me worried
But really I'm feeling cheery my heart ain't cold
These things are told kept me outta trouble
The things I've seen the joys I've heard
They speech not slurred these eyes have no more suffering
I'm gonna go home i know my moms and my pops are waiting for me there
Should I share what I keep inside i have seen the scenes arise
All the tries and the cries to God i had to put up with
Stayin up till dawn
My visions shining on me now cause effect, the cause of the new prospects
I got a respect from the peers so they'll go and lengthen my years
No tears, no fears, you gotta hold close to what matters most
My eyes are open now hoping I will end up in a new place
Replaced all the crazy disgrace amongst my race
This reality is striking me
