lyrics

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
