[Female Vocalist] 

Rivers of memories baptize me 

I can't deny the energy that drives me 

In a space called reality is where you'll find me 

My soul breaks the chains to set my mind free 

Now I'll take the time to reveal 

How I truly feel 



Life is ill but I've been blessed to heal 

And that's how I truly feel 



I truly feel 



[Labtekwon] 

I had to elevate from section eight and self-hate 

Life ain't great when your naps make the comb break 

Before the age of eight I learned how to checkmate 

But how many steps does it take to walk like a man 

In second grade I learned to talk with my hands 

I made jaws understand and I never got slammed 

The ghetto's ill, I found joy on the football field 

And the book mobile, I took those skills 

To build my body and mind, but by junior high 

Life was do or die, stepdad gettin' high 

It hurt my pride when he used to cop rock 

From the older guys on the block at fourteen 

I couldn't make him stop, in Eighty-Six 

Baby, kicks was the treasure, Fours and Airs was precious 

Brothers got murdered for Dominoes, Lambskins and Furs 

Word 



Rivers of memories baptize me (--I truly feel--) 

I can't deny the energy that drives me (--therefore it's real--) 

In a space called reality is where you'll find me 

My soul breaks the chains to set my mind free 

Now I'll take the time to reveal 

How I truly feel 



Life is ill but I've been blessed to heal 

And that's how I truly feel 



I truly feel 



The world we live in is determined by materialism 

Girls be givin' up the womb for various positions 

Folks wanna blow up like Branch Davidians 

Chickens go to the clubs on finance missions 

?Worse?, but then they got drugs to get love from the finest women 

Such mindless minions, but that's just my opinion 

When it's time for rhyme, I can rock any convention with precision 

Givin' the blind vision, soon the moon and the sky be crimson 

Y'all better try to find redemption, it ain't about religion 

How you livin', Muslim or Christian, Buddhism or Taoism 

Style isn't important, what's the true Substance? 

I represent blood covenant, blessed with melanin 

And I'm lovin' it... I truly feel 

Therefore it's real 



Rivers of memories baptize me 

I can't deny the energy that drives me 

In a space called reality is where you'll find me 

My soul breaks the chains to set my mind free 

Now I'll take the time to reveal 

How I truly feel 



Life is ill but I've been blessed to heal 

And that's how I truly feel 



I truly feel
