Sin V Style - From the Ashes lyrics

From the Ashes 3-15 //Minor-Chorus// //From the ashes they left on the ground Comes the chosen for the hopeless as we startin' to drown Everyday's another chance with this gift I found I just hope we live a better life next time around.// X2 1st Verse: Ever feel like you try your hardest and end with nothin'? I often wonder if I'm even meant for somethin' I'm condemned to somethin' It's the pen and crushin' Bars that left me scarred My hope is jarred I'm descendant from afar I'm not meant to live where paychecks are the value of my worth I was a leader of revolutions before my birth Was it aligned stars or a broken condom that made this legend? Ill thoughts from a nerd rapper just to plague his nation My words are scripted for your soul to understand I'll touch the lives of e'ryone, no matter what's at hand I speak for all the souls that are trapped in shadows Only we can free ourselves from our cage and shackles Just believe that you can do it, and then watch yourself rise You can see that sh** happen; just stop and close your eyes It's a world of opportunity; your own to control So call the shots and deal the hands cause we grind too hard to fold //Chorus// //Can't you see all the ruins that we're building? It's behind the sword and shields that we're wielding This ain't imperialism or darwinism Maybe it's just me with this tree when I drown in wisdom Or maybe I'm the vision… X4// 2nd Verse: I could rap 'bout this and that, but I know I could do better Cla**mates rapped about the norm, but I knew better I wanna break boundaries and set a higher standard Rap's been a game to newbies and that's why it's slandered My aim's not for luxury; I'm tryna get my family out Finish with a suit and tie when the crew and I came hand me downs A diploma's all I got -but even Bill became a billionaire Tony got that tiger; I guess success is in the air It's a dream, it's a must; it's the thing that I trust But will it be the thing that leaves me suffering or stuck in dust? My cards are comin' to a kingdom, but I feel I'm 'bout to flush Bet my high school teachers think I won't amount to much Bet my cla**mates labeled me a stoner loner goin' nowhere I'm a performer -not a poser- and 'll show 'em I have no fear A voice in this universe; a kid who learned to flow Just lightin' up y'all spirit before mine starts burnin' slow //Minor-Chorus// //From the ashes they left on the ground Comes the chosen for the hopeless as we startin' to drown Everyday's another chance with this gift I found I just hope we live a better life next time around.// X2 3rd Verse: See, we think we know it all; think we'll make it last Reality is future generations will suffer from our past We live it and they lived it; so we pointin' all these fingers World issues masked by athletes, suits, and us -singers But hey, I'm tryna do this sh** how it's supposed to Or else a better world ain't nothin' we'll be close to The life of a starvin' artist -be happy it never chose you Even Van Gogh would have an idea 'bout what we go through All bullsh** aside, I do this cause it's worth it A story without conflict makes the ending far from perfect In a shallow pool, only the big fish get to surface We're not hermit or some vermin -this just life, it just worsens This isn't nourishment It's discouragin' -so let's burn this then Write up another endin' for the next of kin Salvage Mother Earth who's birthin' them Father Time will turn and then We'll be documented by the future media All they'll say will be, "Remember Them" //Chorus// //Can't you see all the ruins that we're building? It's behind the sword and shields that we're wielding This ain't imperialism or darwinism Maybe it's just me with this tree when I drown in wisdom Or maybe I'm the vision… X4// //Minor-Chorus// //From the ashes they left on the ground Comes the chosen for the hopeless as we startin' to drown Everyday's another chance with this gift I found I just hope we live a better life next time around.// X2
