[Intro]
Man, Did ya'll make it this far? If so I applaud you
[Verse 1: ZJ Mission]
I tried so hard to be something that I was not
Backing up while steady putting on a front
In denial thinking I would be prepared...
Never knew the pain I'd go through when I cared
But one thing got me through...
One man gave me the truth...
Was on my own without a clue
Then he pulled me up to see his point of view
I saw it there, hearts broken people
Falling there, they would never wanna call it
Fear, staring at themselves in all those mirrors, never
Seeing who they are, just a false pretense based
Soley off their peers and opinions of others, so
Convinced they don't mean anything they hide undercover
Sapphire was another, told she was basic and ugly
And unaware that she was valuable and all of us loved her
Took her life with a knife to her neck in the kitchen
She made up her mind she didn't have a reason for living
And her sister should've noticed her in trouble but didn't
Makes me wonder when we'll feel a conviction
She should've never died
[Hook]
These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain
We hide behind the lies every day
I see them all alone but don't know what to say
That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me
[Verse 2: ZJ Mission]
Who I am today
Living in a better place
Never give a thought to what the haters say
I promise you it ain't a game, I don't play
Anyway you wanna slice it I'ma still take the cake
Had these sk**s found em late, but my fam brought the hate
When I'd rap they'd berate but I stayed in my place for the
Longest time I had to keep it bottled up I had to
Set it on the shelf like a model truck but now I'm
Doing it without any regrets at all, leaning on the
Arm of God so I will never fall, all day winna
And I'm living with a purpose every day to show the world
There's a well that's never running dry
Everybody superficial but the physical will never be
Important as to what's inside
[Hook]
These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain
We hide behind the lies every day
I see them all alone but don't know what to say
That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me
[Verse 3: ZJ Mission]
You want them to approve you but God is the
Only one you have anything to prove to there's
Phases you move through who knew you'd be used to do
Things for the truth get it all put into you
It's better living life for a cause than a hashtag
When it's coming from above man you can't brag
Don't be fooled by when somebody's making comments tho it
Smells alright inside it's full of garbage like a Glad bag
When you stand up to a hater make em backtrack
Guys be staring at a girl cuz her A$$ fat
But she's probably a thot and what you looking
For's a real love imagine if your last girl had that
Good lord
I prolly shouldn't talk about it anyways
Flick my wrist, hit a swish call it Kevin Gates
Thought I told you that we're moving on to better days
Flexing... Straight
Never worried bout the hate I take it every day
Like I placed a pickup order gotta get the cake
Try to belittle me and that'll be big mistake
Now I'm finally putting out a tape that isn't Drake
Taking charge and now I'm learning to administrate
Living with a good God got me feeling great
And now I'm winning in a loop like a figure eight
[Verse 3: Tyler Culprit]
Fire and icebergs, I only spit life words
Flow brighter than when Christ emerged
Top rockers, a blocked author with a lot to offer
I gotta give caution with a verse this awesome
Y'all are Lively with the gossip
I got more wits than a thought can fit
A is my grade, working everyday to get paid
Escapades of the paper chase and it ain't just a phase
I need it made
[Hook]
These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain
We hide behind the lies every day
I see them all alone but don't know what to say
That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me
[Outro: Tyler Culprit]
Be the opposite, of non-positive
Now or Never. Forever and better
