Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You know we great emcees over here
Yea
(Everything had changed)
Everything had changed
When the mirror looked in my face
Dropped the desire to chase
Plottin an escape
I hope the wires of this cage
Fold when tryna to break em
Light a sage and write a page of relief
Flamin leaf man I been high for days
Nowadays I like the rain
Never have I seen a sign to wait
But rather mind your pace
Evils got a hypnotizin haze
Never mind the gaze
Tryna stay afloat my spirit roamin
Through this tidal wave
Balance in my soul, my sanity
My pride again
Entire life invested I been stretchin
Through this pocket change
Palm to fist
Write the verse my heart in it
When I refrain, pour a fifth
Haunted by the history
The damage that it caused within
To show a child his family tree
Without the stars and ornaments
Im drowned from what I cant attain
Im underwater snorkelin
I want my grave a monolith
Engrave "I pray that we heal" on the side of it
Bury me in a sacred providence
My vision steady
I walk the road im aligned with
More money, more problems
The drought following by it
When it's gone the other stay
Through the hollow sounds of the opera
They just keep on knocking
Keep on knocking
(They just keep on knockin, nigga)
Keep on knocking
Life keep on knocking and
No its not stopping until you get right
Gotta find your way
(They just keep knockin)
Tryna do better
And handle the weather
Its not always sunshine
Take it day by day
Yeah, uh
(Everything the same)
Everything the same till the paint
Bleed from the frame and
The true colors remain
Stained
Assessin' what you left with in vain
Each letter a confession
Unrequited lessons
In the messages I gain
I write this testament to any who relate
To elevate you must measure
The stakes so my measurements made
Prior to entering
We ain't growing with no stencil to trace
All I remember is chasing money
Adrenaline racin
Hoppin fences
Tryna dodge a ticket and
Get to safety when we was babies
Many cold days but the seeds sprout
When seasons change
The world axis rotate
I'm perched at my Flo state
When the earf in a wood
It's an inward portal, a pearly gate
I first understood what I had to lose
Exertion of gratitude
With a purpose to learn the game
Intention to earn a plate over turnin tables
My deck of cards bet against the odds
I'm for certain grateful
When I fall, I surface graceful
Gracious
Soul survivor I'm over thankful
Withhold my prayers and overwrite em
I hope they transfer thru the layers
I can't misuse my faith
I feel I'm losing air
I still got dues to pay
Keep on knocking
Keep on knocking
