Bittersweet Tendencies

Intro:
As I notice the sunbeam
Bright on my forehead I’m sweating
Far from stressing
But still tryna be something

Verse 1:
Write me a symphony
Pray that it gets to me
Whisper me sweet nothings
I have some bittersweet tendencies
I-— grow as man
But the boy inside me still lives
Smoking makin the man high
But the boy inside him it kills
I gotta live with this bittersweetness
Envision Egypt
As the Pyramids stand
The sand filled with people
Inhale the freedom
Exhale the dеmons
I know you see em
It’s gorgeous evеn
For the Florida region
Gotta gift with my words
I heard it was more than speaking
Anybody can say it
But you do more to reach em
They bored with teachings
Moral preachings
Form allegiance
Gotta speak to they soul
And see ya self
Can’t ignore ya weakness

[Chorus]:
You can find
Truth inside
You and I
Don’t know
What you did to me

Verse 2:
I could
Paint you a picture
To show the —flaws
In the system
And how we lost
From our roots
But we find our way through the rhythm
How we can take the pain
And become a stronger existence
How we can date our name
Back before our massa
Could give em
The plot has thickened
There’s more to the story
The clocks ticking
My fall from grace
Left me shame
But I’m back on pace
To my mission
According to my proceedings
I’ve been forgiven
For being born black
Been broke since the beginning
Well — I’m biracial
& lately been living faithful
I’m keepin the shit in tact
To my city
A vital staple.—aye
You gotta be who you are
Cause you can’t escape YOU
Even
When the man in mirrors hard to relate too

[Chorus]

Verse 3:
See how they do us
It be the cowards to shoot us
Just know ya life
Inspired at 1000 Entrepreneurs
I’ll be the first to the venue
The marathon will continue
Taking the stairs mind-set
Embedded into my mental
Look how we killin our leaders
That do prevail
Hard to care for another life
When you don’t care for ya self
The first step is to acknowledge
Ya pain
Can’t bottle it up forever
You full throttle insane
Dang
Find release
There’s peace
Within reach
You speak
They can’t see
You must show
& teach
Demonstration will penetrate them
You gotta shed light on they situation
