JoWil - Sixteen Variations Lyrics

The cornerstone of art is where your heart is can you feel that
My art official theirs is artificial ain't no pen pad
It's been a while since artists gave you music that'll give back
The type to raise your hairs and give you chills when you hear that
The realest ones gone feel it when you speak about them trenches
Who knew it'd be a blessing I was caught up in that system
Adopted I was destined to link back up with my siblings
More than ten years separated I'm just grateful that we living
I'm grateful that we made it dog
Despite the tribulations that we faced
Just know we made it cross
Every bridge they built that wasn't meant to hold the weight of Gods
Sixteen amazing variations of this face of ours
Mom & Papa taught us that we really can't erase our flaws
Still I will embrace em as I write these metal plated bars
I know the pain that lay across they hearts are probably fatal scars
Hopefully these words will help them heal the silent trauma
Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself to mend the karma
Regardless who gave birth to me Virginia is my Mama
And that's not to disrespect it's just a gesture of my honor
I'm grateful for this breath I breathe, this spirit & this prana
Time is borrowed it ain't promised man
The cornerstone of art is where your heart is can you feel that
My art official theirs is artificial ain't no pen pad
It's been a while since artists gave you music that'll give back
The type to raise your hairs and give you chills when you hear that
The realest ones gone feel it when you speak about them trenches
Who knew it'd be a blessing I was caught up in that system
Adopted I was destined to link back up with my siblings
More than ten years separated I'm just grateful that we living
