| They say I’m young
|
| But my purpose is the inspiration of a nation innovation
|
| Til I change the talk into a conversation
|
| I’m like a doctor and my patients are anxiously waiting
|
| Healing all the hating
|
| That faking in the paper chasin'
|
| It’s hard to live up to these expectations that I’m facing
|
| And gain the admiration of an older generation
|
| That’s why I’m pacing back and forth contemplating
|
| Meditating how to use what I’ve been taught as a positive force
|
| Oh! |
| (Oh!)
|
| This is who I am
|
| I wish you’d understand
|
| It’s time to set me free
|
| My guardian angel
|
| No! |
| (No!)
|
| No matter what I do
|
| I’m still a part of you
|
| I hope you’ll always be
|
| My guardian angel
|
| I wanna be the greatest in the world
|
| Not for the money or the fame or the girls
|
| Not for the car keys, jetskis or the vacation to the West Indies
|
| But simply 'cause I love it
|
| When I write I’m like a puppeteer
|
| Pullin' my strings, tell 'em all of these things
|
| And the honesty makes me spread my wings
|
| Just calling me out was out of your mind
|
| Send that thought back down your spine
|
| I’m on the ground, it’s all on the line
|
| Both sides say both ways at the same time
|
| Most days I can’t wait to rhyme
|
| Express my stress, elevate and shine
|
| Progress, regress, each step’s climbed
|
| So I take that test and I testify
|
| Oh! |
| (Oh!)
|
| This is who I am
|
| I wish you’d understand
|
| It’s time to set me free
|
| My guardian angel
|
| No! |
| (No!)
|
| No matter what I do
|
| I’m still a part of you
|
| I hope you’ll always be
|
| My guardian angel
|
| I feel so misunderstood
|
| 'Cause my intentions were good
|
| If you could only see that poetry can hide in the hood
|
| The passion in philosophy of possibilities
|
| Every dream is in my reach
|
| I’ll find my freedom in this beat
|
| Follow me now, it’s a whole new ground
|
| Swallow your pride I’ll make you proud
|
| All of my life I’ve lived out loud
|
| We just preached to different crowds
|
| Oh! |
| (Oh!)
|
| This is who I am
|
| I wish you’d understand
|
| It’s time to set me free
|
| My guardian angel
|
| No! |
| (No!)
|
| No matter what I do
|
| I’m still a part of you
|
| I hope you’ll always be
|
| My guardian angel |
