| From the midwest to the west coast and dream
|
| The outcast that came out so fresh and so clean
|
| And I must confess I don’t know everything
|
| But I know what I know, you know what I mean
|
| It’s like the stars aligned, every thousand bars I rhyme
|
| But the right words is hard to find
|
| So I finish lines 'till the finish line’s in sight
|
| Just imagine if I actually had the time to write
|
| Maybe then I’d finally get to where I figured I’d be
|
| Not religious, but I sense something bigger than me
|
| Only problem is it’s hard to understand it like broken English
|
| So I paint my own canvas with a stroke of genius
|
| Something told me my destiny manifests
|
| The best of me stands the test of time
|
| So I took a leap of faith, something like a steeple chasing
|
| Climbed back in the saddle, trying to keep the pace
|
| They say it’s…
|
| Definitely a miracle…
|
| They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
|
| If it changed then it’s
|
| Definitely a miracle…
|
| I say it is what it is
|
| If nothing, it go, go, go
|
| Definitely a miracle…
|
| What you see if what you get, I am what I am |
| And I feel like it’s
|
| Definitely a miracle…
|
| What’s it gonna take?
|
| You and me…
|
| I know it sounds crazy
|
| Crazy to think it could change, but just maybe
|
| Maybe you’ll blink and the strange, right before your own eyes
|
| Like water to wine, the ignorant grown wise, the rise and fall
|
| If I could break bread with five thousand heads
|
| Take every man’s shoes, walk a mile and tread
|
| It’s like sight for the blind, a voice for the dumb
|
| A symphony for the deaf, embrace for the numb
|
| Feel it, what if rappers stopped acting hard
|
| When in fact they’re scarred, would it really take an act of God
|
| Is he even listening? |
| What if y’all stopped believing?
|
| Christian, Muslim, Jew
|
| What if people start casting votes? |
| Stop casting stones
|
| Dead beef, get to acting grown
|
| And their kids stopped killing for a fistful of Lincolns?
|
| Probably just wishful thinking
|
| But I feel like it’s…
|
| I don’t know where to start, I guess it’s like my closing remarks
|
| Sort of like the way a firefly glows in the dark
|
| Sort of like Elizabeth Jennings before Rosa Parks |
| Like, humble beginnings before the flow sparks
|
| Now the fires lit, it’s so hard to explain why I spit
|
| It’s like who gon' fix things if I quit?
|
| Tell me that, who gon' cross the line
|
| Provoke thoughts in the minds I touched
|
| And I ain’t much for freestyle, I’d much rather freehand
|
| Or free minds, see the free world in my free time
|
| Man, ain’t nothing free, getting at heads like parting the Red Sea
|
| If we’re ever debt free then it’s…
|
| M-M-M-Make a miracle (x4) |
