Idols

[Verse 1]
All is fair in love and war, that’s how it goes
Learned that lesson, 16 years old
Took 7 years to realize what I wanted wasn’t coming
Back when it was all good, real good, we was stunting
Back then they was my idols, I used to praise em
Superhero flow, I thought nothing would phase em
My 9th birthday, I’ll never forget the day when
My idols fell down from the throne, no one could save them
No one could save my youth from its cruel demise
My first heartbreak, a feeling that words can’t define
Looking down at the floor, pain clouded my eyes
Despite the mist in my vision, I had a clear mind, I
Knew this was it, my mission set in cement
To forge a new world for my children to live
I gotta play it smarter, I gotta take it farther
Than the ones who conceived the blessed curse of my conscious

[Chorus]
Feel like I been running all night
Feel like I be running solo
Feel like I been running, looking for something, to guide me on my way home
Feel like I been running all night
Feel like I be running solo
Feel like I been running, looking for something, to guide me on my way home

[Verse 2]
Life often will give you two options
You can run from it or face your demons that haunt you
Even though I’m rapping, I’m quite tired of talking
I gotta walk it, set fire to what I started and
Rekindle the flames of warm bonds that faded
From impatience and lack of communication
I was never perfect, I’ll be the first one to say this
But everybody front like they shit together, they faking
We was all grieving, this was never easy
I know it broke your heart when I decided to leave and
Try to find peace in the new Garden of Eden
The garden raised me well, I found my life’s meaning
I promise ima come back home, I’d never leave you
I gotta let you know how I feel, I’d never deceive you
Family’s all I got, so best believe that I need you
Cause I promised ima come back home, bet ima see it through

[Chorus]
Feel like I been running all night
Feel like I be running solo
Feel like I been running, looking for something, to guide me on my way home
Feel like I been running all night
Feel like I be running solo
Feel like I been running, looking for something, to guide me on my way home
