lyrics

[New Classic]

Heaven will find you
Heaven will find you boy
So don't just walk around in the street like that
Why you gotta be like that?
You're lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten

Heavenly father won't you please forgive me?
For thinking I should end it all like Mac or Whitney,
In my mind I must've pulled the trigger a hundred different times
Now I'm asking y'all to look beyond my awful crimes

It's been said to death, fear can kill a mind,
but what revives it is the hope that someone out there needs my light to fill their darkness
more than even I do, It's shameful to admit this
I’m Sorry fam I know it's heartless

But I can harness all the fear and doubt that finds me,
laying in my bed alone where shadows grip and bind me,
far away from light of day that shines upon and blinds me
And Warms and intertwines with thoughtful rhymes that grow inside me

So what I'm really tryna ask is if you'll be my sun and shine again
Open up my mind within I swear that I'd give anything
Time again I wish that we could talk it out I understand it's give and take
I know I never listen That's a habit that I'm tryna break

Heaven will find you
Heaven will find you boy
So don't just walk around in the street like that
Why you gotta be like that?
You're lost but not forgotten
Lost but not forgotten

You see it couldn't happen any other way than how it happened
That's why I put my life into this rap shit
Instead of standing by, I rose above, became a man of action
I saw my life retold in photos, Read my lyrics in a caption

Now I’m feeling like the man who moved a mountain cuz it got in his path
Nah, forget it
Do I really need to waste my time repeating lines I said a hundred times?
Maybe then they'll fucking listen? Maybe then they'll hear my rhymes!?

Maybe then they'll understand that I'm a prophet for the lost
I've been searching for a purpose I won't stop at any cost
I'll travel down the path I started walking in my teens
Still uncertain if the ends Will ever justify the means

Cuz I was given Lungs to breathe, Eyes to see, a Heart to beat
A mind to understand, Ears to hear, and a Tongue so I could speak
I've got a devil on my left always telling me I'm weak
And an angel right beside him telling me to keep believing

That the planet god created and was laid before the feet of evildoers,
One day will be relinquished to the meek?
It seems impossible to me, but who the hell am I to doubt it?
Everybody join together, like a choir, fucking shout it!

[Chorus]

Lately I've been on my
Stay awake for days, steady Rap, rhyme, elaborate and
Lay in bed and pray, As I contemplate my fate and Demonstrate Kindness
Practice love and open mindedness, but What's behind us
That's the past that made us who we are today

Ignorance and violence, These thoughts are far too Commonplace
Manifest greatness and Please Don't be complacent
Bare witness to birth of time and space
I rearranged it just to make the most of every moment passing by faster

I'm standing in the podium
I guess that I'm the pastor
In the church of never ending
The messages I'm sending
Are a signal flare to all aware
It's time to quit pretending and
Elevate yourself above the rest keep ascending

To your rightful home
I promise all my folks you're not alone
focus on my voice
And look away from telephones
And fake news and memes
Please Remember all your dreams
I swear This life is more than what it seems
Let the chorus lead

[Chorus]

I take a break from my congregation
For a momentary contemplation
Like what's my message, what's my aim and
Should I even keep on preaching all my rap related teachings?
Is my message even worth the energy I spend to weave it into written song?

Maybe my message is wrong
But I stand behind it steadfast
Unmovable and strong in my conviction
Pinned in place like crucifixion
Every poem that I write is benediction to my true belief

My father taught me beauty isn't skin deep, it's underneath
It's deep within the heart,
The spirit and the art that bleed
Out the pores and cuts and scrapes upon the surface
But what's the purpose?
To be your own person?
Was it worth it?

Was it worth the pain and suffering, Living on the outskirts?
Misunderstood and inverse?
Prone to violent outbursts?
I hope and pray one day I'll see my way to love and virtue
I swear to god I never meant to hurt you
But still the truth hurts.
