Speaking up for all the times I wasn't saying much Spitting out blood from biting my tongue. What a time to find the words I been lost for. Them same words had talked me up out a cross road My thoughts fold, shit get awful I beat it though. Watching what I pour into, some shit might overflow. Overkill from overloads, bro I know the drill. Pain reshaping my reality, make time to feel Protocol when I go face the mess. I ask God for strength He know i'll figure out the rest. I made the bed for the cases That I got to rest. Niggas empty as they promises, I'm falling back. Get shit in order until the tone was set. It's for the best. I see the plot getting thick as my skin. I tame the stress, the benefits of having freedom to fail with no regrets I got promises I broke with myself, I piece em back. Faith don't fall out the blue I been digging deep I'm getting to the root. What's living in my head ain't always true But I guard everything, I guard everything. Sometimes it's certainty, sometimes it's second guesses. I thought it wasn't deep seated but I stand corrected. The passion that's embedded in me holding leverage It's for the differ if I'm ever begging The high's and low's ain't regulated, I'm being tested. Ain't no cushion If I'm falling victim to pressure. Let it work through me, if it's me myself and I That's group therapy. The things you learn When you forced to be what you need What don't kill ya will make you stronger. What don't kill a will come back to catch you slipping In the long run, I'm too aware. Color blind to red flags, I'm still owning fears what a time to get pass em. Note to self, get out your way and get in your bag. Think the about the free-wheeling not what if you crash. I mean eventually we do, but it's not about the crash It's about what you turn it to, cuz everything got it's place. Faith don't fall out the blue I been digging deep I'm getting to the root. What's living in my head ain't always true. But I guard everything, I guard everything.
