Some lyrics from a new track I wrote over a beat by Junia T. The song is called "The Path." Going to be on my upcoming EP, the poet.
moments yeah they pass
by
sometimes miss ‘em
like I got two glass eyes
everybody hustle hard,
tryna live ‘em fast lives
half the time talking
in tongues, speaking fast lies
overly familiar like
past-lives
feeling like I been
here before, is this a failed attempt
to live a glorious
life, or am I just exempt
from the mediocrity of
averages
that we all condone
while, ignoring the savageness
honestly, I don’t how
to handle this
sometimes lost in my
ramblings
searching for
advantages
tryna manage my own career,
without management
half my time spent
tryna recoup my damages
so what’s the sense in
it
when everything’s an
expense and that I keep on investing in
self-interest vested
in
laying out my soul
over beats and manifesting it
struggling’s the
method that my character is tested in
not just another rap
specimen
a poet that grew from
walking the path of lesser men
from the fog I was in
to way out of my element
I still resist this
road to my detriment
I got a soul sickness
– this art is my medicine
so I’ma play my part
and shine light like Edison
but I’ve learned to
keep my pace steady-and
if it’s any less than
my God given purpose I’m not settling
