I was loosing sleep over mis-steps until I learned to leap
Soon as I was sane i’d flip and suddenly I starta trip
I mean I’d pick on homies, talk about corrosions, no emotion,
Made ‘em feel like I was free of all devotion, but then weep when lonely,
Sorry for myself and feeling down some sort of hermit…creep
Stripped from narcissism let some ego in to remain keen
problem is a problem if let it be a problem kid
Days are numbered and I won’t allow the stress to get between
The seen and unseen through my eyes the world awaits for me
Indelible the sights around to see I tend to let my spirit free
The world is bigger than a clouded mind will let it be
I mean my mind would lessen the lessons needed clarity
a cognizant austerity, self-inflicted agony
I let go, apparently it was only me I had to beat
simple!
"I cried because I didn't have shoes until I saw a kid who didn't have feet." Guayasamin

Chorus:
I was loosing sleep over missteps until I learned to leap
a problem is a problem is you let it be a problem


2nd verse:
My people seen the worst it ain’t to boast but time reveals the truth and we’ve been standing firm
I doubt the test of time will tell a lie though it may take more than a try to tell our storyline of sacrifice cause folks deny we fight to walk alive.
Truth is sometimes relative peoples own experiences
Sequences of incidents always bring a consequence
Action and reaction nature’s way to make amends
transcriptions between benevolence
I don’t discredit sentiments
But I don’t to pretend to listen when you play Olympics of oppression
Rich or poor we all seen better and we’ve all seen worse
lost find a cause take some time I find it when I pause
My life’s decrepit when I only focus on the loss
Peace can also come with facing hurt, and facing pain
Ignoring it is just as bad as thinking your worlds coming to an end.
This ain’t a blind fold to ignore the truth friend
It’s a way to begin again the life we’re meant to regain
