| Normal nature was never meant for us to worship paper
|
| Hundreds packed in big buildings where still ignore the neighbors while
|
| Major corporations still extorting us for labor
|
| And subordinate the poorest class to the lowest wages
|
| And the rent high, it’s hard to cope that why we get high
|
| Many said bye to their passion cause they had to get by
|
| Past her prime old lady sweeping floors no retirement
|
| Can tell her face tired late night the place quit
|
| Letting out sigh and just staring outside
|
| Trying to help hr daughter hospital bills is piling high
|
| No job was diagnosed with lupus with little to no solutions
|
| Once a breadwinner frustrated she feels like a nuisance
|
| Her son in middle school on Rockaway in Brownsville
|
| No parents around to care so u know the hounds will
|
| He joined a Crip crew he thought it was cool
|
| Breaking the rules daily threatened to be expelled from the school
|
| One afternoon the «opps» caught him with his friend wearing blue
|
| Shots flew, he was pronounced dead at 4:42
|
| Rest in perfection

|
| Nights sleeping on a bench at the pier passed out
|
| Mostly stressed when it’s hard to see a clear path out
|
| Tears tapped out, eyes dried up, gotta pick up pieces
|
| Gotta be a reason behind the journey what’s the meaning?
|
| Give thanks and pray to get out the fish tank
|
| Take the risk to take a leap of faith and see where it lands
|
| Switch plans give life the wheel see what it might reveal
|
| That type of feel like a Cypress Hill song
|
| Living in these Times is real, mental health is hard to keep
|
| Signs is hard to read and martyrs find it hard to breath
|
| Still I was taught to see everything ain’t good but good is everywhere
|
| True survivors are hero’s able to face their fears
|
| Face in the mirror morning affirmations
|
| Pay attention, I want u to say it with me verbatim:
|
| «I'm alive, I’m blessed, I’m beautiful, I’m great
|
| I’m grateful for this body, I’m creative and I’m safe»
|
| Repeat it till u start to believe it throughout the day
|
| You’ll be amazed how the alchemy inside a you can change
|
| This the new lane, transition to your final form
|
| Where life is celebrated, every day from when a child is born your alive
