Derrick John - iowa born & raised Lyrics




Your energy is killing me, it's soft but sweet
Bout to act up, cause your talk is cheap
Slowly but surely is the recipe
Both from 10th street, I'll tell you what that means
Bonded by trauma or whatever that was
Especially blood but I'm finally free
Windows down as I'm feeling this breeze
Dancing with the universe, I bob and weave

Say that it's okay, I'm crazy as they say
There is always war waging inside my mind
How much can I take before the spirit breaks
Hold on

I'm guessing and checking hoping to wind up in heaven
Slowly the darkness is spreading I know we're close to the ending
Was tempted to end it but damn it I am invested
If you are more than offended then homie you just don't get it
At war with depression and always getting arrested
And then I dropped outta school but always kept up attendance
Swear my mind is a weapon put in effort to cleanse
And I got blessings on blessings when I'm here in the present
I am not sorry, I'm broken
Guess I really do care
I ain't been home in a minute
Cause I don't know who's there
Think I'm so far
But I'm right around the corner
Yeah I'm running and running to get you
Oh, nah, nah

Say that it's okay, I'm crazy as they say
There is always war waging inside my mind
How much can I take before the spirit breaks
Hold on

Think fast
Free at last
Let it go
Leave it in the past
You know
Where I've been
Look at where I'm at
Spirit been under attack
Lord knows
That I'm willing
To fight for it
Following my feelings
I'll die for it
Got the time for it
Forbidden fruit is too close
Might take a bite
Ruler of the people
It was myself I had to coronate
Crying out for help so God could come and coordinate
"life is what it cost," I am told that is the going rate
Iowa Born & Raised
Field of Dreams, Holy Grace
Devil tryna fornicate, the top is such a lonely place
I've been down & out before so up is now the only way
Think I finally wrote a page, blink & then I float away

Say that it's okay, I'm crazy as they say
There is always war waging inside my mind
How much can I take before the spirit breaks
Hold on
