MIC - My Soul (feat. Will Murray) Lyrics

Yo, you know, I can't be anything other than me
I gotta go with what I feel, follow my soul, you know
I've been searching inside this lonely mind Guess the world don't like me, no
I've done what they wanted but I can't let go Of this dream that's in my soul
I've tried and tried, nobody knows Guess it's time for me to lighten the load
Time to pack my bags and hit the road Led only by my soul
Have you ever been led by something bigger than you
Have you ever lived your life like it wasn't the truth
Like you got nothing to lose Still the world's on your shoulders like you under the roots
I bet there's a lot of you out there that share this type of pain
It's like a different frequency, lay inside the brain
Thinking maybe that it's time for change Your spirit untamed, it can't be shackled by chains
You see your gift, as a chance to explain But to your loved ones they can't help but to think you insane
But that's the practical opinion, they don't shoulder the blame
And you know that but it hurts the same But don't trip or hold your head in shame
If you believe that can give you hope Just don't surround yourself by those who ain't in the fold
Keep in the mold of your inner growth Listen to your soul, not somebody's quote
It's up to you to cope
I was born in the desert, came out with a pail of water
Planted my seed, I grew into something larger
No dad, so God is my only father He gave me a gift and taught me that I should always move onward
So I started working, perfecting my craft I feel like I'm haunted by my past, so I never look back
But no matter the outcome, I know I'm intact
Cause I ain't chasing the bag, I'd rather play in the sand
I've been searching inside this lonely mind Guess the world don't like me, no
I've done what they wanted but I can't let go Of this dream that's in my soul
I've tried and tried, nobody knows Guess it's time for me to lighten the load
Time to pack my bags and hit the road led only by my soul
We could shape the world, but they say that we can't
I just follow my fate, no circumstances of chance
If that's the case then I give chase fly by the seat of my pants
I hear the music to my destiny, let's have a last dance
I keep waltzing with these demons and these walls keep speaking melodies
If I made it out the darkness, why these shadows keep on haunting me
I gave my heart and soul, don't know what it is you want from me
Been the helper and the burden, but I've learned to balance equally
There's joy and regret, felt neglect and respect
Karma's put me on my back and took the wind right out my chest
If you're looking from their angle, they would say that you've been blessed
But on this road with the load, feels like everything's a test
Just conform to society, live your life like the norm
Be a puppet, you can pay to play they'll watch you perform
I've inked these chapters of my life, but still my path has been torn
Can't judge a book by its cover, but still these pages are worn
Tears of a clown behind the mask, just make them laugh
Cause they don't care, they see the makeup, strip it off
You'll see the scars are still there
I've been a pair with despair, broke down beyond my repair
I've took some arrows on my path, protecting what I hold dear
I parry punches thrown by life, my shoulder roll has gotten clean
Yeah, I took some bumps and bruises, every round I'm in the ring
These reflections in the mirror, only ones who know the pain I've seen
Keep working on my scene until I make it serene
I've been searching inside this lonely mind
Guess the world don't like me, no
I've done what they wanted, but I can't let go of this dream
That's in my soul
I've tried and tried, nobody knows
Guess it's time for me to lighten the load
Time to pack my bags and hit the road
Led only by my soul
