Deeper

The depths of my soul, man it’s deep rooted
You don’t really know what I’ve been through now do you?
Thought I was a shy kid with everything handed to me
Funny cause I chose a career path with no fans waiting for me
Outside in the pouring rain
Everybody telling me that I could not sustain
“don’t chase what you love, make money all day
It’s what you need in this life”
Priorities in society
Been crooked like 1972
These politicians feed on you
It’s money over people, not the people over power
About time we start speaking, our generations turning back the hours
Think we’re apathetic, might be sympathetic
If they realized we’re on a new page
Or we stay silent and our futures fade away… gone

Don’t less this life pass you by
I hope you find a reason why
We gotta leave it better than it once was
These roots go much deeper than just us

I’m calling out to the sky like God
“who am I to be a voice for change?”
Just trying to get it together
Whims light as a feather
Trying to please my friends, my family
Even if I failed to be authentically me
Nah
As I stare deep into my own eyes I realize
The blue is a channel to my soul
Purpose is the ace + king, I never fold
Or follow the fakes that steer me to dead end places
Where my dreams suffocate
God willing I make it to see another day
When my momma smiles cause her son found the best way
To win is to give your soul to the people
Learning from your worst sins
The most high got your back
Through the bleakest cold
Greatest story ever told
No champagne so sweet that it could soothe the soul, no

Don’t less this life pass you by
I hope you find a reason why
We gotta leave it better than it once was
These roots go much deeper than just us
