The Garden

The creator made a sacrifice
So man and woman, meaning you and I could have a life
Adam and Eve they lived in a Paradise
But didn’t know
So they gave in to their appetite
Then had to go
And they looked back at it and they saw what they had there
Some days I do that with my past years
I think about the future I get mad scared
I’m looking at my present I get sad
Where the hell am I taking y’all?
I’m here to embrace you all
Barack woulda never ran if he was afraid to fall
Wish I kept playing ball
Sometimes
But I accept that I made that call
Dumb rhymes
Got me popping, getting paper dog, yeah it was taking long
But Time is just a magazine
One day I’mma make it on
Every time you play my song
Something happens
I don’t know
This is not just rapping
A martyr is speaking
My bars are leaking, you the target I’m reaching
You gotta recognize the garden of Eden
Keep watching
If the finish line appears far
Seems like your reign ends where the tears start
Don’t let your eyes get puffy, Puffy eyes worship money
Put Faith where your fears are
And that’s the part of the reason you need to recognize the garden of Eden
The other day I took my moms to the hospital
Arthritis in her spine
Paramedics had to get her out the bed
And I just watched her crying, yelling out for me and my brother
Still can’t get the vision out my head
Cause I was wishing I could take her hurt away
Even though I know at the same time
I’m going through some monetary surface pain
I know that she wishes she could take mine
To stop being passive and complacent
I would trade places with a patient
For one whole day and if I make it
I would be somebody different don’t you hate it
When you say you got an issue and someone else has it worse
And y’all start having a battle trying to see who Satan cursed?
“Yo my sister just got cancer.”
“Oh my auntie had it first.”
“Well my son is still in prison.”
“So my daughter died at birth.”
Damn
Never will it halt though
This ain’t conscious rap
I just make thoughts flow
I know it’s hard to believe in
But look around dog the garden of Eden is right there
I say as long as you breathing
You might find something close to that garden of Eden
I hate talking bout rap in my raps when I rap
But
Sometimes I get reflective on a track and
I start telling people where I’m at, what I been through
Why I’m great, truthfully I’m sick of that
But
Stimuli is confident
Only thing is he’s vulnerable on some honest shit
Most likely he has issues in common with you
Dwelling on your problems instead of peeping your accomplishments
Yeah it happens
Pardon my preaching, and correlations to the garden of Eden
A dead horse I’m beating
But most days messages that I’m reading say
‘Sha you helped me out with life
So I keep providing light
My father left but I know who my Pops is
My cousin’s sperm donor just dropped his
Then my boy with the fam that he loves
That he thought was his blood just found out he was adopted
But they love him no less
I would go and visit cause they life is so blessed
But he can’t see it, I probably wouldn’t either
I ain’t Nas but I go from God’s son to throwing Ether
Either catch it and receive it or toss it and just leave it
You comparing me to people that ain’t even in my league
And we ain’t on the same page, we ain’t in the same book
I’m the bible
Them dudes is novels, please look
Then listen, then stop, but not in that order
You can wake up, top of the morning I hate to do this to you
You subconsciously seeking for something better duke
The garden of Eden is right here
It's right here
Stimuli huh
