Its 5am Smell the Roses

I see the world for what it is I can't dismiss it
The evil that we exhibit for being materialistic
Watch it through the window of a 5th floor apartment
Its rough making a living no one's given red carpets
Jobs are iffy economy needs pity degrees
Can never guarantee you'll ever be wealthy
Hard living is feeling like you in prison and
Everybody's a puppet who's playing parts in the system
Think about it the governments never stressed
Never working in the ghetto but call it the projects
Most want to take but I'm quick to want to
Give I'm a rare breed nowadays raising 2 kids. (
Dad I love) the challenge to find balance (
Your my Dad) and a rapper and son I see your talents
Never let this world put a damper on your spirit
If your positive regardless son you'll never hear it
Funny how this world works easy or its hard when
Your future been written by the pen of only God
This is real talk let me put it in your mental I
Engrave it like a pencil to paper you need a savior
Show you love and you throw it back its rare to
Even get that I'm moving on up who wanna backtrack
I tell ah story the world would wanna mention I'm
Itching to make a living off music so your attention
Listen to the song feel the pain in my music
You can do it I inspire like the great Ray Lewis
Saw him hit a rough patch life was on the limb
Learn your lesson from mistakes gotta stop take in...

Let me take a second to breath and release I done found inner peace &
This is my belief the world on my shoulders another door
Closes the next one will open for me to smell the roses
Repeat 2x)
The Sweet smell of roses
It's all but fading away
See all the beauty thats around you
No one gets a promise of another day
