Saint Augustine Songtext

Saint Augustine Songtext
Rare souls turn thoughts to expression
This life is blessing and lesson no stressin
I′m on the porch with concessions
Sellin dreams n hopes that it manifest to a change
I'm on the run so I can′t stop for a nigga caught up
In the scene of any and everything
I made a promise to myself I would bleed before I ever give up
On this city n world my culture stuck in a swirl
Of violence and the sexualizing of our men and women
They say you can't change the world unless you change your yourself
I looked up in the mirror never appreciated what I felt
Reflections of a shattered man on shrooms I watch the glass melt
Looked up in my eyes and saw God staring back at me
Then shed a denzel tear I feel it coming my cheek
So I screamed at my peak no rolling in the deep
But I gave Adele a run for her money that day
Cuz nothing was the same like Drake
But always everything I am like Ye I'm tryna give y′all somethin real not fake
Fuck dividing the pie, We need the whole cake
This slow pace is opaque
We can′t see the other side
My nigga died at 15 I wish I would've fuckin tried to save him
Same year my other homie got shot, he was mistaken for a opp
Then my grandma ford checked, man I couldn′t make it stop
Voices in my head told me get a glock
Black boy trauma sold to the block
Inner city blues comin with a shock to the system
But it's still missed calls gettin blocked
Like Dwight in the paint or the chalk
Outline a young nigga used to know never thought
I would lose people at this age
I turned the pages in life as chapters flutter by
I look to my side and see ya face frozen in time
I wonder if I would get a chance to meet you again
Forever my friend save me a space
What a time to be alive
What a time to be fly on the wall of life
I′m here to charge to strike the light the fight is never over
No wins and losses only gettin older
But youth is in the mind the soul was chosen
Life is in the present open gifts
Speak to power catalyst for shifts
In culture taking risks while vultures take our shit
But we will never quit
As long as we exist
The truth persists
Through rhyme and rhythm
I bomb you niggas
With love and hate and pain and strife
And beauty and everything in between
I'm sewing seams
And building dreams
That we can stand on
Reaching higher than ever
We pushing the level
Two feet on the pedal
I′m stompin the devil
Cuttin the strings
No more Geppetto
I'll never settle
Had to dig deep so I grabbed a shovel
This life is blessing and lesson no stressin
I′m on the porch with concessions
Sellin dreams n hopes that it manifest to a change
I'm on the run so I can′t stop for a nigga caught up
In the scene of any and everything
I made a promise to myself I would bleed before I ever give up
On this city n world my culture stuck in a swirl
Of violence and the sexualizing of our men and women
They say you can't change the world unless you change your yourself
I looked up in the mirror never appreciated what I felt
