Azure (temp) - In a Sense lyrics

[Verse 1] My mans told me I'm a black in the wilderness In a sense, people attacking my innocence The hinderance of all of the synonyms of the villainous Is it hurting my future or marinating the blissfulness? The ignorance. See the patience in my eyes why my Teacher love what my neighborhood despise why my Grandmother see a pagan in my eyes, now Am I really ignorant? My face is looking blind To the racism and crime that my mother tried to hide from Soul was feeling crooked but that's where I got my posture from Cause it's good to live naive like a leaf but once you fall from that tree you see an officer just shot your son Is it reflected by me enjoying the distance? Or is it fear weights strengthening the laziness? I seen suffering turn a man to a Christian And suffering turn that same man into an Atheist [Hook] Now what do I got right now? He said (Innocence) Can I use that to survive? He said (In a sense) You gotta learn how to flip that, roll that, steal that, stole that, turn it all (Into cents.) (x2) [Verse 2] Now I was born by the river now I'm busy trying to cross it A hero transition to a villain with a concept That "b**hes ain't sh**, and that women only objects." That's nonsense, I visualize my mother in the process Imagine me, busting off a trigger With the government whispering that I'm nothing but a ______ With some tonsils full of cannabis and stomachs full of liquor Intoxicated to empty out corruption in his figure But the substance that was iller was the devil trying to capture his soul For his own plans, difficulty catching his goal Cause I'm pure from the basket to the casket so the metaphor for Satan was always getting his a** kicked Getting tired of these f**ed up concepts "Let's f** b**hes while we blaze up one, Ah, getting money and all of women are objects" That's nonsense, mother f**er you came from one And the message is to take it in as one And deviate from the section that the racists have begun Cause the difference of me and brethren who are blazing up a gun Is the difference of reading "Fences" and "A Raisin in the Sun." [Hook] [Bridge: Azure] It's easy to shine when you're a diamond Not when you're a rock that everybody avoids Instead of a jar, I'm in the dirt I want everyone to feel my hurt No father figure no motivation I'm just a rock there's no expectations Why's surviving my only inspiration It's hard to shine when you're scared to die. Man [Verse 3: Joseph Idoko] "Got bread so you thinking I'm happy I use it to help buy the sh** that distracts me The pain fades when that codeine smacks me The paranoia rise when the police pa** me I know that there's a bright side and I wanna get it I hate life so I torture everybody in it I'm hearing new gunshots every 20 minutes The same shots that could get me and my mommy finished Girl back broke my heart like I ain't sh** To this day, them same b**hes ain't sh** I sell d** to buy clothes and make sh** Cause my records don't call for a late shift And I don't need to reveal my health I carry around a gun just to steal my wealth Cause if I had noone to rob, while watching my heart throb I'd probably use this same gun to k** myself."
