When you’ve seen hell, sometimes the world don’t seem as bright
sometimes you gotta look harder just to notice the light
when you’ve lived wrong for so long, it’s hard to live right
when you drift far from God, faith is hard to ignite
when you fall hard, sometimes it’s hard to get up again
when you’re consumed with yourself, it’s hard to find a friend
I’m speaking from experience, I’ve been down that road
and trust me, I can easily be an asshole
but I define myself by the principles I stand for
while most of these rap-fucks are gassed like an aerosol
like a bunch of lost-ducks, no-one’s taking care of ya’ll
this is Revelations dawg, I’m just preparing ya’ll
don’t look surprised when you think the armageddon’s come
I ain’t talking biblical, but history is cyclical
not a nation, one race, together indivisible
long as we don't acknowledge that, people will be miserable
Hook:
(When you’ve seen hell) Sometimes it changes everything
(When you’ve seen hell) your brain rearranges everything
(When you’ve seen hell) you lose sight of what once mattered
(When you’ve seen hell) cuz what matters in the present’s that you’re world got shattered
(When you’ve seen hell) it’s hard to see the world the same
(When you’ve seen hell) you realize that life is more than a game
(When you’ve seen hell) in the midst of it I felt I was worthless
(When you’ve seen hell) but I on the side of it I found my purpose
When you’ve walked through the pits of hell, understand
taken hold of your demons with your own two hands
something shifts in a man that’s not easily reversed
what’s worse, you start feeling like you’re damned or your cursed
at first, I thought I had it all in control
after supressing my soul long enough, it took its toll
found myself toking and drinking more
homicidal thinking more
constantly at war with myself and feeling raw
like my skin was ripped away and my flesh was laid bare
I woke to a world that didn’t care – left me gasping for air
getting closer to the end, losing breath
in front of me: jails, institutions and death
thank God I was shown another option to the left
I was told I had to climb steps
I did and never looked back
because the fact of the matter is that
I’m blessed to be alive, that’s why I spit it on the track

You can’t see me
might see my flesh, but can’t see me
believe me, courage it takes just to be me
the spiritual essence is hidden behind where the flesh is
I’m a vessel though I realize I got a unique perspective
we don’t see things the way they are
we see things the way we are
and we are, whatever we make of ourselves
chasing after paper while we’re spiritually raping ourselves
like we want victory but don’t wanna take it ourselves
living contradictions and humanistic fallacies
I won’t, let my circumstances dictate my reality
cuz I define my life through my cognitive ability
you can do it too, most don’t want the responsibility
freedom is power and it’s like Ben Parker said
responsibility’s the access, most walking dead
the truth is palpable in my lyrics, thicker than corn-bread
I’ve seen hell and heaven and they’re both within my own head
