AWOL

[Verse 1: Nino Bless]

Seems like I'm on every page on karma's list, my arms are spent
Too tired swinging back at everything targeting me
Man, and I probably deserve it
What I bottle up surfaces, then it's in plain sight to see
I was misguided by other's dreams and wishes
Obsessed with cream, rhyme schemes and bitches
Now that I've seen this scene from within, to be realistic
It ain't quite as it seems the entire gleam's fictitious
(Darkness surrounds us all ) hello Lord i heard you called
Sorry satan, laws are meant to be broken
But I'm broken mentally coping, moping by the window of my destiny closing
I'm trying to lift it too late, it'll never be opened
Again, again everything's clear through the fog now
Though i've evolved, still ain't letting my guard down
These are the memoirs of a tainted soul
God forsaken in this matrix trying to escape skid row
God forgive me, but I'm a reflection of you
As the light dims

[Hook: Hemi]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I give myself my soul to keep
So if I die before I wake
None of y'all are gonna have a soul to take

[Verse 2: Nino Bless]

Picture nobody relating to you, debating you on facts you know
You form ya own thoughts in poems, stalking greatness all alone
You call it ROAM they call you wrong, but now ya course has grown
That road's expanded towards the throne, you been there all along
And I've ignored this or maybe I'm lost is this where I belong
I suffocate myself with pressure, then air out a song
And every verse here enhances my reflection in the mirror
I like to stare down blemishes when its clearer
Now that i found myself my competition's like "WHY"
MC's listening, their spirits are fried
They know they can't dig this deep inside
Soul or mind, so they play deaf and blind like who, close your eyes
You seen me fail, but you wish that was real
Like Dame dreaming of Aaliyah, waking and seeing her reappear
Damage? You're like keying a Kia
Me? I'm like TNT in a Prius hit with a kamehameha
Come here come here, get near, its clear
This ain't even, its odd, to compare us, it feels like I'm so far i ain't even here
I've only come back to appease my peers
And steering on this road's been weird and lonely since I shifted gears
And I am sensing the fear, they trying to censor him
Cause he's bumpin some heads off every list Kendrick and Em are in
I do the murder rappers while giving them props stunt
See, I cover my tracks like fiends on a job hunt
And as the light reemerges
Clarity shall guide me through the darkest path
