lyrics

[Chorus]
He got the world inside his hands, now what he gon’ do
We got the world inside our hands, now what we gon’ do
You got the world inside your hands, now what you gon’ do
I got the world inside my hands, now what I’m supposed to do

[Verse 1]
I been thinking like, I don’t wanna live this life
Not the suicidal type, but maybe I ain’t living right
Feeling passion dying if they pin me to this nine to five
Survival just for nothing if you just don’t ever feel alive
Feelings that I kept inside, trapped inside this mind of mine
Bottled up, the bottles up, swallow all that sits inside
Wallowing in sorrow, son you’ve only got yourself to find
Self to blame, self to hate, self sabotage in every line
Shit, I’m too quick to dismiss it, my fear is that I’m too different
But too akin to make difference, you see I’m trapped in this system
You paint me black as a villain, in hopes that I do become one
So you can curb and destroy me, you call me urban and clueless
The fact of the matter I know exactly where clues is
Steady exposing your bogus, you can’t mistake for stupid
You slipping, I see it leaving, you worried you’ll lose it
That karma does harm you if you have proved you deserve it
I set my people free, I plan past mediocrity
I’m socrates, the way that I embody this philosophy
Stopping me, thats hard to see, unless you plan on offing me
An offer to the most high, still dripping blood on the leaves
I feel it, but it’s something missing, shit can change up in an instant
Had these dreams like since an infant, dreams of being something different
So fuck who just can’t see the vision, fuck who just can’t see the vision

[Verse 2]
Look I done came out the dirt, my bones sandstone
And I know how it hurt, my family lost home
My life on the line, I’m at a crossroads
The road I take, less traveled on, all that I know
Fuck it, I ain’t into this, sinning I ain’t innocent
Scholar was not an interest, he rather blow on the internet
Indigo higher intellect, brain matter been heaven sent
So if you looking for me, I’m knocking at the pearly gates
