Life & times

(Statik Selektah)
I'm not always right, I'm perfect

[Woke in ??] My purpose
My soul way too valuable to purchase
My gift the same thing that my curse is
It's like a double-edged sword
The way these thoughts hoard in my mental
It feels like I'm in a psych ward
Sometimes just writing rhymes is all I need to ease my mind
Writing from the sun up 'til the evening time
Stuck in my zone, sitting at home trying to see the silver lining
Every dark cloud hovering over my piece of mind
Hit the streets to see the signs, me, mys?lf and I
Having talks with God about being alive, just vibing
I close my ?yes and start to wonder why few of us thrive
And most of us is out here barely surviving
Products of our environment all victims to what we believe
Either way it's change that we need in order to succeed
Whatever doesn't grow dies, so you gotta cultivate your seeds
Water your trees and shine light on these leaves
Life is full of seasons and we all face winters
So when it cold it's when you gotta go inner
Something to remember next time you in December
'Cause when it get dark that's when you see them stars glimmer
And I'll never let 'em dimmer my light
The warrior inside of me ain't backing down from a fight
This life shit is what you make it
You can choose to waste it or take it by the reins
So when it's said and done you make 'em remember your name, nigga
Can't forget the reason that you came, nigga
I said we all one in the same, nigga
It don't matter if the chain bigger, look

Follow my fate like it's my north star
Guided by the light, I'm travelling
At the speed of a sportscar, it's dazzling
How the journey unraveling
Just tryna keep my feet on the gravel and
Knowing that this path I chose is challenging
Life is like a boat sometimes, it feels like you barely paddling
Or the current that you up against is what you battling
Lost in the middle of the sea and seeing nothing of course
That'll make you wanna toss yourself off
Having suicidal thoughts, disconnected from source
Like death gotta be cheap 'cause life too big of a course
I mean we all gotta die, very few of us discover what it means to truly be alive
It's all in the eyes
And there's a fire inside of me that'll never perish
I'll forever cherish every obstacle
'Cause when I overcome it I know anything is possible
Physically interrupting, mentally I'm somewhere tropical
Enjoying the ocean breeze
Finding balance in between emotional needs and what you would consider logical
Somewhere between keeping it G and philosophical
I'm spiritual thugging, in this universe I got a lot of pull
My demons mean mugging but to me it means nothing
I got a sixth sense, dog, it's like I seen something
Since I was a kid I always knew I'd be something
They was on Front Street while I was really hustling
And I don't need no introduction, yeah
And I don't need no interruption, yeah
And I don't need no instruction, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, said I don't need no introduction, no
I don't need no introduction, no
I don't need no interruption or instruction
