[00:20.27] Peacemaker
[00:21.94] Son of a violent man
[00:23.30] Dream chaser
[00:24.34] Raised on divided land
[00:25.80] Where thieves raped us
[00:27.16] Treated like I’m not a man
[00:28.42] Our behavior
[00:29.25] Like rebels without a plan
[00:30.82] Step false get offed by a coward’s hand
[00:33.22] Life’s shorter than an hour hand
[00:35.94] But the least of my worries is the Taliban
[00:38.03] Or hopin’ that they’ll pass an assault rifle ban
[00:40.43] Most guns where I’m from aren’t licensed fam
[00:43.04] The ones that are
[00:44.19] Usually held tight in hands
[00:45.55] By the cops and so called authority figures
[00:48.16] Cringe at my black skin while calling us nigga
[00:50.78] But 6 letters can't define me I'm so much bigger
[00:53.28] The path I walk
[00:54.33] Most people can’t endure the rigor
[00:55.90] Back up talk
[00:56.94] By displaying so much vigor
[00:58.30] Mastered art
[00:59.24] The blind just ignore the picture
[01:00.91] Passed a tart
[01:02.06] But of course my portion’s bitter
[01:03.63] That or starve
[01:04.47] Cause round here they don’t deliver
[01:06.03] Grabbed a quart
[01:07.08] Rather be engulfed in liquor
[01:08.64] Lacked support
[01:09.69] And I wasn’t born a winner
[01:11.26] An afterthought
[01:12.20] These know-it-alls won’t consider
[01:13.66] A man of God
[01:14.60] Who sits upon a throne of wicker
[01:16.38] Who scratched & Clawed
[01:17.53] To reach the very point I’m sitting
[01:18.99] After-all
[01:19.83] That’s what fuels the poems I’m spitting
[01:21.60]
[01:21.91] I’ma take this pain I’ve been dealt with and use it
[01:24.42] This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it
[01:26.62] Without my music and art I’d be useless
[01:29.12] I always knew
[01:30.48] I got to do so...
[01:31.95] I’ma take the pain I’ve been dealt and use it
[01:34.24] This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it
[01:36.96] Without this music and art I’d be useless
[01:39.57] I always knew
[01:40.62] What I had to do 'cause...
[01:41.87]
[01:42.29] You can’t hide from who you are
[01:47.10] You can’t hide from who you are
[01:52.32] Not even the highest peak
[01:53.58] The lowest place
[01:55.04] In every space
[01:56.08] You always leave a trace
[01:58.49] You always leave a trace
[02:01.20] Always leave a trace!
[02:03.29]
[02:03.71] Blood pressure high
[02:03.61] Self-respect low
[02:04.86] Could be cancer inside
[02:06.64] Am I’m scared to know
[02:07.68] Lucky to be alive
[02:08.73] At the age of 34
[02:10.19] Livin’ in fast times
[02:11.23] Still manage to die slow
[02:12.59] IV pumping morphine in my bloodstream
[02:15.10] Woke with a scratchy throat & groggy what a rough dream
[02:17.50] Something’s
[02:18.24] Not right, nurse can you help me sit up
[02:20.32] Felt like I was stabbed
[02:21.79] Every time I try to get up
[02:22.83] Hurt so damn bad
[02:23.98] I can’t even cough this phlegm up
[02:25.34] Pain every minute
[02:26.59] Every moment that I been up
[02:27.85] When I told the fam
[02:29.21] They looked at me like I’m finished
[02:30.36] Huh! I’ll be damned
[02:32.13] If anything we’ll make me give up
[02:33.07] Wishing I was home in my chair
[02:34.54] Anywhere but here
[02:35.79] Baby girl completely unaware
[02:37.25] Lives without a care
[02:38.30] It ain’t fair
[02:39.13] When your child, you can’t even pick up
[02:40.70] But I did it for her, so I’ma keep my chin up
[02:43.21]
[02:43.73] I’ma take this pain I’ve been dealt with and use it
[02:45.82] This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it
[02:48.43] Without my music and art I’d be useless
[02:51.15] I always knew
[02:52.40] I got to do so...
[02:53.34]
[02:53.66] No matter what happens today
[02:58.36] Tomorrow the sun will rise
[03:03.37] We'll be there
[03:05.36] We'll be there
[03:08.08] We'll be there
[03:10.27] To greet the sun
