Lyrics
Verse 1
It took many attempts to make amends
Realise what I represent, is far from heaven sent
Camouflaged in a scent so authentic
Infiltrate your defences
Uplifting you, leaving you senseless
Let the pen drift scriptures in every sentence
Painting pictures like The Avengers
Resilience demonstrates the intention
Never quit till I set it straight, I’m relentless yah yah
Heavyweight train of thoughts, when I deliver
On track a winner, full course already considered
Let it simmer, overthinking got me sinking deep like quicksand, stress a cold killer
Need a break chilling on a Cali coast with a bifta
A bit of liquor, yamming up my roast dinner
Until then, never give up
As I begin to give in, to see the bigger picture
Chorus
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
Trays filled with roaches
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
A new dawn appraoches
Verse 2
Spending so much time trying to be some else
Till they start to forget how to love themselves
What you make of it, life’s great promise, they can’t take it from us
Still break ground swimming against the current
Face down breast strokes like a bottle nose
Topple those obstacles with a solid view
Misconstrued especially when I speak the truth
Belligerent attitudes becomes a standard view
Starting feuds till the point you’re beaten black and blue
Looking back, I had a few buss-ups
Made to look a sucker, cos I stuttered
Still stuck up, from my brothers and sisters the same way
Looking out for one another
Even past the point, I could stand up on my own two
Nuff respect to the old crew
Chorus
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
Trays filled with roaches
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
A new dawn appraoches
Verse 3
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
Engineered to never loose hope when
Trying to find a way through this maze, stay focused
Time to kill the hate, dead weight from self loathing
Serenade this pain, medicate in strange doses
Engineered to never loose hope when
