(Chorus)
So let your mind's eye open up the bright sky
Don't let your fright thrive go and let your light shine
Till the day that I'm no longer in my right mind
I hope to find some type of closure in this lifetime
But there's no guarantee like I hoped there would be
Take your soul, set it free. Let it go, let it be
It's in the past and I know it's been a tough path
No more lookin' back only wantin' what I once had
(Verse 1)
I wanna reach all who could use a few hugs
That's why I do each song riddled with infused love
Ain't tryna preach just givin' ya'll the truth cause
I just wanna teach ya'll what I'm livin' proof of
This life I lead is quite naive
I'm just tryna light my weed and write my peace
Yet I realize that it won't be graciously received
Wasn't made to be critiqued, this was made to be believed
But to me it's still the same, luckily I still remain
Comfortably enough for me constructively revealin' pain
But wouldn't change it and go back to try to make it right
These words reflect the very actions of my daily life
Cause all those hardships were more for me to grow from
Temporary losses but morally they're home runs
So repent and God'll plead in your defense
Pardon me for givin' sense but all of these are hidden gems
(Chorus)
So let your mind's eye open up the bright sky
Don't let your fright thrive go and let your light shine
Till the day that I'm no longer in my right mind
I hope to find some type of closure in this lifetime
But there's no guarantee like I hoped there would be
Take your soul, set it free. Let it go, let it be
It's in the past and I know it's been a tough path
No more lookin' back only wantin' what I once had
(Verse 2)
In these rap tunes, speakin' on what's passed due
Cause I could see the beauty of it even with a bad view
I'm livin' proof no need to print it on a tattoo
Didn't go to grad school, spit it cause I had to
I know I may be on a lonely road creatively
Who chose to flow contagiously with vocals spoken faithfully
Wrote to God with open arms knowing he'd forsaken
But so far this broken heart's only motivated me
Reverse motives from coke sniffers to church goers
From curse throwers and dope pitchers who turned poets
Concerned owners of homes, kids, and pure wholeness
Alert focus with hope lifters and verse quoters
Yo, cause in my honest opinion
God is within them whether you're Islamic or Christian
As I do what I love most
Cause nowadays I'm feeling like a human amongst ghosts
I'm outta mind, soul, and body with the flows
I'm admired by the highs and inspired by the lows
It's the fire that's inside and the wonder of faith
It's the hunger to create that nobody can take
That's how I'm able to get better from pain
These beats help me translate what I could never explain
This instrumental woke me out of my sleep
And made me write to it until I finally found what I need
A calm release to leave my conscious at peace
And reach a point till I'm as free as I could possibly be
Cause I'm grateful for this turn and I'm thankful to learn
And I'ma say it everyday until the favor's returned
Cause I ain't gonna recite the scripture
But if you did just know I ain't the type to diss ya
And I ain't tryin' to fight to fix ya
But know the light's within ya from Christ to Krishna
Yeah
(Chorus)
So let your mind's eye open up the bright sky
Don't let your fright thrive go and let your light shine
Till the day that I'm no longer in my right mind
I hope to find some type of closure in this lifetime
But there's no guarantee like I hoped there would be
Take your soul, set it free. Let it go, let it be
It's in the past and I know it's been a tough path
No more lookin' back only wantin' what I once had
