Well, if this is the sum of my creation
And it only lasts a moment
I just hope it don't escape me
The pressure don't break me
And the product of my patience
Make me anything at all
Then I promise to be grateful
But if I get to choose
I just hope somebody see me
When my petal is bright yellow
And they say the name Stevie
And the fire in his wrath
Crossed their mind and in a flash
They remember that December
When she stopped him in his tracks
How the pain brought the rain
But it washed away the ash
How the soil took hold
And said I'll make the most of that
Then eventually a seed
With intentions to be free
Grew some roots up in that soil
And now everything repeats
From the darkness of the mud
Began a conquest for the sun
Through the tension and the doubts
It's when eventually it sprouts
As it comes into the world
It says you better make room
For the moment when the flower finally blooms
So if this is the sum of my creation
And it only lasts a moment
I just hope it don't escape me
If the pressure don't break me
And the product of my patience
Make me anything at all
Then I promise to be grateful
But if I get to choose
I just hope somebody see me
In my dark brown eyes
And they say the name Stevie
And the fire in those eyes
Leave the water on my cheeks
Before I knew the words to speak
I knew my duty was to seek
I look for truth
But it's confusing when they use a disguise
And from a youth they spoon feed you with delusional lies
And after years of feeling crazy
Taking drugs to escape it
I was pacing round the block
I started penning quotations
I learned about the history
I studied all the greatest
Gotta get your repetitions
Before you get your reputation
And I stepped into the cipher
Said you better make room
For the moment when the flower
Finally blooms
So if this is the sum of my creation
And it only lasts a moment
I just hope it don't escape me
If the pressure don't break me
And the product of my patience
Make me anything at all
Then I promise to be grateful
But if I get to choose
I just hope somebody see me
Singing songs about freedom
And they say their name's Stevie
And they think about the world
And all it's devilish lies
Like how the dollar bill decide
If you dead or alive
Or how police could put a bullet
In your dome and be fine
Overseas they dropping bombs
At the drones in the sky
And in that moment when you open up your eyes to the truth
And all the lies of days prior
Start a fire in you
And when that fire in your fist
Turn the lightning in your palm
And you realize the fight
Has been inside you all along
With your brother in your arms
Yelling better make room
For the moment when the flower
Finally blooms
So if this is the sum of my creation
And it only lasts a moment
I just hope it don't escape me
But if I can't take it
After everything I gave it
And I have to let it go
Well then there ain't no hesitating
But if I get to choose
And I hope somebody see me
As the seed and as the tree
And they say the name' Stevie
Cause if I gotta go
I know it's just to make room
For the moment when the flower
Finally blooms
