lyrics

Good In U.S. Left

(Verse)
It’s like the older I become the closer I get
I’m looking forward to the future but ain’t holding my breath
Cause there’s some harsh realities that I just couldn’t accept
But even then I still believe there’s still some Good In U.S. Left
So I cherish every moment while I’m slowing my step
Preparing for the worst but I still hope for the best
And treat every interaction with a sign of respect
Because nobody really knows how much time we’ve got left
And a lot of us don’t have someone to comfort us right
But regardless of it all I’ve had a wonderful life
That’s why I try to keep my faith in above
Cause it’ll never be enough to escape through a drug
And life’s too short to live with hate or a grudge
So to cope I made this poem out of anger and love
In order for me just to be relieved of my stress
All I needed was some rest, this is me at my best
Pull up a chair and just stare at the glare
And take a moment just to breathe in this American air
But I don’t fear death enough to be scared
Yet I’ll probably never be ready and underprepared
Cause I got one life and I ain’t getting another
Enjoy the time now that we get to spend with each other
Cherish your pets and families as the world rejoins
Become aware that humanity’s at a turning point
Strong hearted cause every human was made to dream
We’re all part of the start of a new awakening
To see the light and receive some advice
For what the reason is we’re breathing and the meaning to life
It seems unusual, it’s new to me and new to you
Life is beautiful it just depends on what you choose to view
Like who’d’ve knew that this would lead us to a sacred path
Through ancient math that I don’t get but I’m okay with that
So I’ma grab some loose leaf and a pad
Cause I still believe that there’s more good people than bad
So I’m embracing what I label as divinity’s fate
And continue to create for creativity’s sake
So the least that I could try to do is offer a poem
These thoughts are my own and often I feel lost and alone
So I’ma take a break cause I’ve been rhymin’ with haste
It’s an honest mistake but for now I’m finding my place
So what we know we shouldn’t continue to do
Cause positive change is out with the old and in with the new
But it’s gonna take a second receiving deserved worth
Cause it’ll get better but now it’s gotta get worse first
So for now my expectations are none
But with patience I’m confident revelations will come
So for now just bear in mind the great signs
Cause constructing a whole new paradigm takes time
I know a lot of us are awfully nervous
Cause now we’re forced to look within to find our calling and purpose
And get rid of these power structures that no longer serve us
And as an artist all that I can do is offer my service
So do the same cause it pertains to each one of us
Surrender to the pain and to the changes in front of us
We’re all lost don’t forsake your soul’s humility
Let your guard down cause there’s strength in vulnerability
And then eventually we’ll settle the score
With more people coming together than ever before
So I just thought I’d write this hopeful little letter
Tryna be positive but I feel lonelier than ever
Cause Mother Earth has a hole in her heart
And you don’t have to be in church to get closer to God
So use this time now to get close to the light
Cause this is what I believe and I hope that I’m right
