Little Q, Pt. 2

Grew up in the south side of that river Thames

Hard to think outside the box when you're stuck in the ends

I had dreams of many things as a youngen

I was fourteen when the streets offered tough loving

Older brother went to jail, daddy weren't around

No choice now but to be the man of the house

If you're talking role models, nowhere to be seen

You can't fathom what I think till you've been where I've been

PTSD from the roads, trouble was everywhere that I looked

Hard to avoid it, even if I just kept my head in my books

There ain't no easy way out

Drowning internally

When you're stuck in a ocean of doubt

With all this uncertainty

Lived being angry my whole life like it's part of my DNA

I couldn't tell you why I became something that we embraced

Then we take that same anger and turn it into someone else's pain

Nothing's changed here, the cycle still remains

Mama told me my sun will shine

We don't decide

Everything in God's time

And when mama told me, I prayed to God

To walk with me, my journey's begun

See, my mama told me my sun will shine

We don't decide

Everything in God's time

And when mama told me, I knew that I

Was strong inside

But we all cry sometimes

Shit changed when I had a brief encounter with death

Thought the pearly gates opened when that knife was in my chest

Not the mental scars, the scars physical's all you see

But the boy that stabbed me is just as damaged as me

I could've been the reflection that he hated

The part of him he wishes God did not waste time creating

The broken homes in which were coming from, but who's the blame when

You're dealt the same cards from the system you're enslaved in

It's fucking mayhem

Imagine being in the hospital, wired up to the machines

They told me I had been in a coma for two weeks

But time is an illusion

My mind told me I'm invincible

But my body reminded me I'm human

When you're so close to the heavens, God shows you who's there

Nowhere to be seen are the people who said they care

This must've been written for people who came to read it

'Cause life gave me a second chance and many never see it

Q

We eat from a tree full of forbidden fruits

Not about what you see but what lives in the root

We eat from a tree full of forbidden fruits

We all know real criminals live in the suit

Like the sun in the sky

Spread your wings, fly

We're going high

We all know real criminals live in the suit

Like the sun in the sky

Spread your wings, fly

We're going high

Like the sun in the sky

Spread your wings, fly

We're going high

Like the sun in the sky

Spread your wings, fly

We're going high

Spread your wings and fly, fly
