lyrics

This obsessionTo try to get my feet wet
To get my legacy set
The United Connection
My Poetry
Changing this world I'm dead set


Reviving the roots to this old treeThis fire burns wild
No more wasted time for me


I'm tired of this prison
Free me from this pit
You hate this too?
Effort… where is it?
You can not change this world by talking shit

Take one step
Take another and don't quit
Don't know where to start?
So many issues out there, take your pick
We have no problem telling the stories
But when it comes to the work, we all fall sick


Is there no meaning left?
Are we that scared to change how this book is written?

Society never got passed the rough draft
but here we are scared and smitten.

Are we just so used to the wrong?
Are we so used to the harmful ways of the past that threaten our future?
The birds no longer sing
How miss their morning song

I stand frustrated
This path will only see us fall.
You will have no legacy
Not a name in history to recall
This has always been our court and it's time for us to steal back the ball

Change does not have be huge
Everything starts small
Yhe ending product will be so profound
That the souls of millions will return to their bodies and raise up from the ground

If you ever see someone suffocating
Lend them your breath
Stick out your hand
Pull them away from death

This world does not need to be a battleground
Think less with your fists and more with the beat in your chest
