SPIRIT

Walking 'round with chips the size of Everest

Heavy on my back, and I still press it

Head first in the battle, I was tested

All the twists and turns in life I cherish

Every time I miss the mark, I gain perspective

Gaining leverage

I need more time to be present

My sleep is affected

My dreams been on hold

I'll keep digging in the trenches till I find a pot of gold

I don't know right now if it's my fate

But please don't take my love away

I'm as flawed as they come, but I'm gettin' right

These days, I can't let 'em dim my light

No easy way for me

I know they be doubting me

But I was raised in the streets

It don't matter if we speak

I remember dodgin' strays

Skipping school, catchin' fades

If it's off the principalities, I'm trippin' everyday

Yet I'm still pushing peace

Gotta keep it P

Every sunrise in LA is like the lottery for me

Lotta **** lose they heart out here, I gotta get the cheese

Ain't no second chances

Make yo' mark, just try not to be reckless

I don't know right now if it's my fate

But please don't take my love away

I'm as flawed as they come, but I'm gettin' right

These days, I can't let 'em dim my light

Crack babies

I was in the trap with her

Look what God did for momma

We had many long winters

I know heaven's real

Watched my angel sprout up from a sinner

From the couch to coupes

Catching flights to Ghana just to visit

For the spirit

I was sleeping on Western

On Van Ness with depression

Every day, I tally blessings

I don't need a lot

Please

Just some green for my efforts

I don't grieve a lot

Everyone I lost taught me a lesson

Every seed I plant is precious

I don't know right now if it's my fate

But please don't take my love away

I'm as flawed as they come, but I'm gettin' right

These days, I can't let 'em dim my light

I don't know right now if it's my fate

But please don't take my love away

I'm as flawed as they come, but I'm gettin' right

These days, I can't let 'em dim my light
