Misa - PERCEPTION

Heart bumping out my chest
Really worth the stress
Know it's worth the while so it don't hurt to work a sweat
And while my peers been dormant I've been more concerned if I progress
Tired as I be I plan on bettering my best
Cause that's what papa used to preach
So I guess I been taking note of it
It's crazy how easy it is to make assumptions when you know nothing
Other than what you've been told or what you been shown
So believe it if you want or discard all of what you know
Cause we all lack a certain extent of some understanding on
This life that we just take in a moment and so I cannonball
And try not to hold my breath for longer than I've been planning on
Knowing I would drown tryna save you fore myself
Quick to let the homies know it's good to call for help
Because we all bear a shovel but don't make me dig that hole
If trying to find you a solution is easier hit my phone
That goes for each of y'all I just really thought y'all should know
That we all need a shoulder we can lean on
Don't just let it die for nothin
Go and get your dream on
Put on for yourself then turn around and put your team on
Tell it like I know it
I can't tell it like I seen all
Cause really I just took all the bad and put it into perspective
Not too much of a man to tell you I stood corrected
You'll try it until you got it
I'll do it til I perfect it
Sewn a seed it my soul so I guard it and I protect it
Really ain't nobody that's near the place I'm projected for
Swear that I'm from Philly
I'm Flyer so I been jetting on em
Life so fifty-fifty
I roll the dice then I'm betting on em
Said they'll take the lead from me
Guarantee that I'm getting on em
Ain't a damn thing when it comes to pressure
I never bend
Not the type to let it get it the way and I never been
Focused on opinions is probably why you won't ever win
Keep the circle small bro it's critical you can't let em in
It's just some reconsideration on my view of life
So much at stake for this it's rare to see a few alike
The clock gon tick and time's not on your side
You better use it right
Get a grip or lose your life
And I don't fear my death
But I fear for the ones I'll leave behind
Cause I was in them shoes and couldn't speak nor barely breathe and I
Was in positions it took more than heart to keep alive
Tried to pray for peace in my mind when I couldn't see the signs
Now the vision crystal clear
Writing's on the walls
Fight before they take from what I built and fore it falls
Down
You ain't see the work and yet you for the cause now
It ain't that much of a deal so I'll keep it calm
Lord kept favored forever I recognize
Wrote the extended play to show you can reconcile
A broken soul on the verge of losing it a second time
Bottled up my emotions so watch for a tickin time
Bomb
I was hot fore I knew I was finna blow
Had my foot on the pedal I knew that I had to go
Further than they was willing it's more about your persistence
Truly I'm self made
Did it with no assistance
Blessed is my position
To even have this view of life
So much at stake for this it's rare to see a few alike
The clock gon tick and time's not on your side
You better use it right
Get a grip or lose your life
