Verse 1

There's a passion inside, there's a sound in my mind

And I always try to get out and free

In a room full of dudes who are older than me

I was just young and naive; I'm just a passive emcee

Who was happy to be in a crew, who could see some potential in me

And eventually we disagree on the beats, and the raps, and the lives that we lead

But in between we live out our dream until the third scene

When they steal our hope, our record deal, and our self esteem

Two years of my life I'm depressed and mean

I don't only pray about this mess, I obsess and feene

And start questioning, “Why can't I get no green?” 

“Why Jay want to leave the team?”

“Why don't they put out our record and just give us free?”

“Why we got to start all over and just minus three?”

I guess we now know how a joke felt

With the whole load of the world on his shoulders and no help

Trying to make a comeback when life is below belt

Low blows or no belt the playa with no help

Never would believe



Verse 2

It's like blast off and off in space we go

And where this space ship stops only God seems to know

Hey Yo I do this for my people, my sisters, my bros

My future, my now, my memories to flow

It's like a fountain on a mountain, majestic and fresh

Spilling and filling abundant in depth

It's so glorious, magnificent, triumphed, and blessed

See we five rise like a prize like life of LAS

All by myself trying to find myself

I was all alone, couldn't find no help

Didn't want to fell the pain that I felt

Didn't want to hold, because I've been dealt

Thank God for my help, family and friends

These are the people that are there till the end 

There's been a change but then I'm smiling again

Can't hold a grudge, got to go make amends

Give an end to my anger can't be good

Far from a thug, I was born in the hood

Daddy could but didn't try to pick me up



Verse 3

It was august 31st when I started feeling ill

I couldn't stand, couldn't walk as I felt a cold chill down my spine

As the needle

Thought this was a battle I wasn't going to win

Two months of my life changed everything I knew

Stared death in the face and got love from my crew

As I lay all alone in a room feeling cold

Got scars on my arms, getting fed through a tube

But I knew what to do, had to keep hope alive

In the mist of it all, yeah I know I would survive

Even when they put me out and took out the pains

Said they was a slight chance I might not remain

But I wasn't hearing that, put my life in God's hands

Just a test to my faith cuz I know he has plans

And I gotta understand what's the reason for those days

A new set of purpose and a chance to give praise
