Only Be 05:38
Only Be Verse 1 Walking for hours, searching for days, going inside and out my own head Trying to find exactly what makes me different from all of them It is said that we’re created in our own ways So why do I constantly try to be what I see Pre-hook I don’t have time To worry ‘bout what they think of me Cause in the end I gotta be content with who I am Do you think it’s right To continue to deny Our own hearts and our own minds Oh I’ll tell you I Chorus: I can only be what the creator has made of me I cannot conform my spiritual-musicuality x2 Verse 2: People say so I’ve heard They know exactly what they want Money cars n diamond rings All the best of material things What ever happen to equality revolution finding the solution We’re living in confusion Pre-hook repeat Repeat chorus Verse 3: Subliminal material blurring up the visuals giving praise to criminals degrading all our principals interest in ignorance mindsets of prisoners silence the genocide n sneek attack the little ones give them guns give them drugs kill the mind smoke the blunt curse the judge dodge n duck from the cops while different states race 2 get the murder rate up keep the money in the socks find a feen and serve the rocks see this is my world n this is my block dirty cops keep watch like master with his crops real talks unheard so my words leave marks spark thoughts n heal scars unlock broken doors reach far like mars breathing hope into the young teaching them self love empowering actions givin more options than goin out like a G like 25 to life n not being free 25 to life not bein free getting shot on the block layin dead n deceased I know u wanna make it betta 4 ya family but who gone watch them if u dead in the streets I know u wanna make it betta 4 ya family but who gon watch them if u lost in the streets all I’m telling u is 2 use ya mind Knowledge equals no ledge so prepare 2 sky dive Pre-hook repeat Chorus repeat until end
