lyrics
LYRICS:
Verse 1 (Keen)
Show what the art is just by writing tight,
providing sight thru the darkness I'll be your guiding light,
shining bright, keeping the path illuminated,
won't give up the fight, I'm rappin thru the hatred,
to overcome the plight, the craft is just too sacred,
they told ya what to like, you don't have to choose the basic,
don't lose the faith kid, they're bluffing in the lab,
my raps'll prove the fake shit is nothing but a fad,
in love with my pad, I got next, patience,
is a virtue, so I don't hold my breath waiting,
rhyme til I turn blue, & bless the rotation,
with realness, I never mess with speculation,
honesty of good men, it's truth I've been providing,
I ate the pudding, cuz the proof is in the writing,
confiding in the music, now my heart is free,
i can clearly see, the artistry of Marcus D
Hook:
"and i can see clearly now" (Guru sample)
my goal is to make others near me proud,
vision twenty twenty no clouds in sight,
everything is everthing I'm living my life"
"and i can see clearly now" (Guru sample)
speak the truth so i hope that you hear me loud,
life is a lesson from ya birth to ya death,
want my crew to stop well don't hold ya breath"
Verse 2 (Hazey)
They try to cloud my vision making clones they wanna duplicate
so now I'm spitting wisdom listen closely to elucidate
ya intellect an introspect my goal is to rejuvenate
the stepping is progression but we take it back to truer days
you can wait, but the earth keeps spinning
so I strategize to maximize my worth each mission
true treasure don't glisten gotta look beneath the surface
so I unsheath my urges, I've come to teach the circus
cuz the world is full of fake clowns traitors and haters
think they greater wantin paper for no labor while I pray for,
acres with no neighbors can I be alone with nature
maybe later now its flavor that I'm servin like a waiter
hope you savor it appreciate life and take a step back
inhale take it all in, and respect that
you only hear the realness from this unsigned kid,
I'm pullin back the curtains let the sunshine in
Hook:
"and i can see clearly now" (Guru sample)
my goal is to make others near me proud,
vision twenty twenty no clouds in sight,
everything is everthing I'm living my life"
"and i can see clearly now" (Guru sample)
speak the truth so i hope that you hear me loud,
life is a lesson from ya birth to ya death,
want my crew to stop well don't hold ya breath"
