Verse One
Sometimes I pray to God, but wonder if hear me
Does that mean I’ve lost my faith? I’m stumbling and weary
Cos’ I’m hungry like a stomach that is rumbling and barely can survive
And when you look in my eyes, you see they teary
The tears trickle down my face, but don’t last long
I sit back and just lament like an old jazz song
Then say “whatever”, then try to start to pull myself together
Press reset and step towards a brand new endeavour
But I know these feelings I’vе felt are bound to come back
And whеn they do, I gotta face em’ like I’m proud and I’m black
I wear my heart on my sleeve irrespective how I’m feeling
So I can speak softly, or Dame Dash the meeting
I’m way past the age of me remaining aloof
If something is affecting me, I gotta stand on my truth
It‘s easier to say and harder to do, it’s like an art
Cos’ not everybody got heart
Chorus
Still classic, I’m still classic
Still classic, I’m still classic
Verse Two
I have the desire to win
Never give up on myself and burn the fire within
Can listen to a million people who be trying to convince me of
Something’ that ain’t for me, won’t tame the Lion within
And you can catch me on bad day, I know we all get em’
But I strive to overcome em’, expose em’ like torn denim
Sometimes they get the better of me
But I won’t let em’ permanently leave me in a place where I be cold deaded
I cannot let the world affect my blood pressure
Driving me around without me steering like this was a Tesla
So I’m on the front-line regarding absolutely everything
Moving like a soldier who on active duty
And even if my platoon is dead
I gotta recharge, re-calibrate and find a way to move ahead
It‘s easier to say, harder to do it’s an art
Cos’ not everybody got heart
Chorus
