lyrics

i'm an angel wit broken wings, i'm a gate with some openings,
i'm little but a bunch of things, i'm a mess, i'm a crack in the wall
i stand but i happen to fall
i'm a color that stands out but no one ever sees me
no chains but i never walk freely,
scream but i'm mute and i've bit into forbidden fruits
but i smile and i interview easy
i'm scuffed like shoes and i'm faded like jeans
and i'm just like you but a little obscene
my math is flawed and my vision unclear
can i get a little help if ur up there?
see, i had a wall built up but it's crumbling down
i'm tired of the rap game dumbin it down for the masses
i'm comin in blastin, yankin the system all backwards

i, i, know i need to reach out to you, you
already got a hand on me, me
but i'm too distracted man, why can't i see see that
you, you, are the number one source of truth, truth
in any situation so it means we, we
need to believe and be relieved that it always goes back, back

*if there was one thing, that i know i could share wit the world
one remedy, for my friends and my enemies, let it even be the death of me to say
the truth you need to know, for you and me to grow
when i am weak he's strong and it helps me keep on keep on

i'm a man but i act so childish, can't wait so i'm marchin in
i gamble my life all the time like rounders, two-face like i'm harvey dent
what's wrong with my origins i'm jus tryin to be an audible artisan
take a look at what's all within, it's horrible, all is sin
i'm a prodigal tryin to make it home again
i need to be born again, cuz i act too grown
and i think i'm strong but im crushed like a soda can
my shoulders tryin to hold boulders, wonder who loaded this
now i'm caught up in the moment, brought up in a home that was holy
never did i let it control me, naw
but little did i know from before even time began you was moldin me


you fill in all the gaps, and now you rightin the wrongs
so now i'm writin a song that must be heard cuz /it/ aint/ my/ words
see when i take a look at this game, everybody all talkin the same
i'm bringin a change, we need this, and the truth will leave em speechless
