[Verse 1: Mr. SOS]
It's been a long road
Full of potholes and high tolls
I didn't have the change to pay, so now I'm paying with part of my soul
And I just wanna be home
And express my sentiments with every part of my soul
With nobody there to call anymo'
Just because the music strikes emotion in me, man, I might just explode
With pieces of my mind all over the globe
Just so you can see how strong my thoughts were before the end of the show
And I don't know, I'm trying to go
I'm just speeding in the dark trying to find light with my eyes closed
Holding onto everything that I own
Cause it feels like somebody's trying to sabotage the things I hold close
So I fight the only way that I know
To the d**h! - Cause I sacrifice everything for total control
And if I fail, at least I gave it my all
And I fed my spirit 'til my mind got full
It's my time capsule
[Hook: Steph]
I fight for everything I own
My love for fam, and my first born
Flesh, tissue, ligaments, and bone
Can't contain the blood, sweet, and tears in my soul
So when they try to question me
Make attempts to interrupt my destiny, trust
When I'm dead gone, you'll remember me
Whether through a time capsule or a memory
[Verse 2: Mr. SOS]
I'm surrounded my living contradicts
And I feel like Nas and sh**
Cause I don't even know how to start this sh**
It's like [?] did some conscious sh**
Wouldn't he drop it if he could figure out how to market it?
Or would he go pop like Common Sense?
Or maybe start confessing to Queen in magazines like Kanye West?
What the f**?
I never pictured being a father
And now that I am a just want a better world for my daughter
And my elders cause I was their seed like she's mine
And if I couldn't make 'em proud I wouldn't keep trying
Some say I fixate, I just call it determination
Some talk sh** and hate, I just call 'em some nervous haters
Afraid of change, major pains
Afraid of the art of storytelling too, but ready to make it rain
I'm just sayin'
While we praying for rain for the crops
They're playing with hearts just to stay paid and on top
For that cash crop
[Hook: Steph]
I fight for everything I own
My love for fam, and my first born
Flesh, tissue, ligaments, and bone
Can't contain the blood, sweet, and tears in my soul
So when they try to question me
Make attempts to interrupt my destiny, trust
When I'm dead gone, you'll remember me
Whether through a time capsule or a memory
[Verse 3: Mr. SOS]
The saddest thing I ever learned is relationships don't last
But the best thing I ever did was let go of the past
Now I give thanks for all that I have
My little girl, my mom and dad, and my wife who treats me right when I am or not
And I thank God
Cause he taught me to rap from heart and he blesses the air I breathe when I talk
But Devils plot to poison it with chemicals
And when it k**s all you see will be dead and still
Then a handful the size of a landfill
Will rise and build over all that we did
And when they go through what once was our home
They'll get stuck in a hole that they started to dig
And find this
Disc, in a time capsule from S.O.S
Addressed to anybody with flesh
With a message that says:
Learn your history or you're doomed to repeat it
Even after this loses it's meaning
[Hook: Steph]
I fight for everything I own
My love for fam, and my first born
Flesh, tissue, ligaments, and bone
Can't contain the blood, sweet, and tears in my soul
So when they try to question me
Make attempts to interrupt my destiny, trust
When I'm dead gone, you'll remember me
Whether through a time capsule or a memory
