[Verse 1: K.O.]
I pray five times a day to run and hide from my ways
My past is a blizzard of hard times and mistakes
Pondering in the night tryna recover from heart break
The future seemed so perilous and the present not so great
In sujud I found my soul had a heart conversation
Cupid ain't a God or an angel he's just Satan
Tryna get you chillin' with the sisters and start makin
Problems in your life that lead to serious situations
Some will tell me to shut up, some gon tell me to preach
Love can be real, but sometimes it's a leech
We think we in love but our journey ain't complete
All we are doing now is inflicting self-deceit
I pray to the Lord that I can see straight & clear
Allah make me conscious of my flaws make me fear
Love has become a word absurd lacking meaning
Shout out to the fam who be everyday deenin' (deenin')
[Verse 2: K.O.]
I thought I found heaven, realized it was Hell
Disguised as a happiness, rolling in the deep like Adele
Tryna swim out but it's too deep like a well
In it to steep, I'm asleep, I couldn't tell
Thinking it was a done deal, I thought I found the one
Fifteen years old thinking like I am twenty one
Naive with my schemes, My world felt so sweet
Then we split up, and my world felt concrete
Then days went by, and I felt obsolete
Coupla months pa**ed and head down to my feet
Lookin' so sad, like Sudan in the streets
Lookin' so mad, like a man fasting in the heat
Mama told me never show your tears never sigh
Baba told me be a man no fear in my eyes
Lookin' dumb hard in this atmosphere of lies
Decided that I gotta make this song cry. (make this song cry)
[Verse 3: Cause]
It's all the same grains of sand,Just a different story
Used to board the peter pan, With half a mill in worries
I ran a mill in journeys, that'll have a villian worried
Any family feelin' awry, I must stand to say I'm sorry
If I could I would but, I don't live with should ofs
It made me who I am, Cuz for every time I screwed up
It changed me to a man, And everytime I look up
I'm thankful for that chance, To take another breath and
Take another step and, I miss my moms a lot but, Allah makes the best plans
Tie your boots and prepare for glory
Toast to victory as we share our stories
I'm living proof, Went from pitchn on the stoop
I hustled all my youth, man, All I knew was loot
And now at the end of the day, there's not a day I don't pray
So K.O don't listen to they lies when they say...
