Lyrics
I'm on that yellow brick road again
My heart was warming up and then it turned cold again
Can't wait to glow again, feel like it felt in February
Drinking this triple Hennessy, sharing my inner soul with them
Soul to soul like it's Jazzy, my listeners, I feel close to them
Empathy, sharing stories, my life is the ting I owe to them
It's not a joke, certain bars I wrote, it's like I spoke to them
One-on-one, so let's conversate, pray that I bring some hope to them
I got a voice so I'm choosing to use it
They underestimate the power we have in this music
Some are confused, can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
True, it feels dark in the current times
It's a marathon, word to Nipsey Hussle
I'm always tryna be positive
I use the time to stimulate the mind and
Learn more 'cause I got a lot to give
I always try to be a joker, see the glass half full
But when I see the type ass, I felt the opposite
Too many young lives taken way before their time
We used to hit the road and play his tunes, sing along to the rhymes
And this shit hurts, every time we spoke, I felt his energy
Them times at RMS, so many wicked memories
Of watching all his videos, I was truly a fan
I was supposed to play it, pass the torch, part of the plan
But it never happened and now I'm here feeling numb
Shell-shocked, screaming, "Why did the great die young?"
Got so many questions, I need some answers
It's like we're losing too many too early, I'm searching for answers
Pouring another Henny, two sides to that penny, tryna make sense of it
But life don't make no sense and I'm sensing that they want censorship
Rather than speak the realness, they'd rather us not mention it
But I was taught to talk from the heart from my apprenticeship
Of running with the olders, they taught me to deal in truth
So these words I'm speaking are truthful
It's honesty in the booth, uh
I throw deep thoughts in the wishing well
Even those who hate on my progression, I still wish 'em well
Wishing for a day when I could get one wish
Allow these kiss and tells, people got no food on their dish
So bun kissing them lips about some minor altercation
If it isn't coming easy, you just need to practice patience
Adjacent views are the basis to divide a greedy nation
Consumed with material possessions and reputation
This music is my safe place, meditation
This music is my medicine, my medication
And yeah, I went school, but rap was my education
That's why I see through the media and its legislation
The music raised me, it gave me bravery and elevation
And in return, I gave this music total dedication
It's my relation, reflection of everything we're facing
Chasing perfection since I taped the tunes off all the stations
Station to station, creating this statement, I am stating
We're in a state that's blatant, but I see good, I'm relating
To those in communities helping others, illuminating
Truly we know who the heroes are and it's you that we're rating
I couldn't give a fuck 'bout who celebs are dating
We need to get 'round the table and start communicating
Stop the backstabbing, invest the dough we're accumulating
Insert tools of wisdom for the youngers in these tunes we're making
'Cause like it or not, they look to us for guidance
They study words we write so I'll no longer stay in silence
The music is a gift given to me so words of violence
You'll never hear me spit, I stay defiant, dropping science
Come together, make alliance, we're stronger together, giants
Standing up to all these tyrants, this microphone my appliance
To deliver words of healing, good people, we stay reliant
On each other, I'm my brother's keeper, feelings getting deeper
I'm running up the mountain but I feel it's getting steeper
I don't wanna die, no, I don't wanna meet the reaper
The only thing that keeps me going, head next to the speaker
The music feeds my soul while the physical's getting weaker
I need to feed my spiritual side, keep going
Keep running up the mountain, stay alert, keep flowing
Can't give up 'til I've given everything I can, no slowing
No stopping, the finish line is not in sight, I'm still growing
Adrenaline is burning and every day I'm learning
The roads are rocky, trust me, but it feels like tides are turning
A wake-up call for everyone, stomach churning, we're yearning
If anything, it shows you that the sterling that you're earning
Means nothing in a time of crisis, family is priceless
Not possessions, I'm a messenger speaking through mic devices
Our friends are so precious, life is infectious, roll the dices
'Cause he who dares wins, but it's complicated like life is
How could we take this for granted? I hope this time has implanted
A love for your freedom, love for your family
God, we need 'em and we miss 'em, miss
All the jokes and the family traditions
All the time we was too busy to call and we didn't listen
It really gave us time to think
To bring some balance through the words
And the ink, I'll try and get us in sync
The world is hurting, I'm certain, it's deep emotion we feel
But music's part of the remedy, we need healing for real
That's meditation
