Tariiiq - the fog

Yo, it's that fog in the sunrise, calm in the nighttime
Calmness in her eyes, were calling for sunlight
These problems in my life, can't solve em in one night
It's often, I promise, it's alright in darkness the
Light shine, creep through the skyline
Deep in reflection, remembering how we bide time
Seek the ascension, can't buy time
Dwelling on the past & stressing on the future
Living in the present is a fine line
Alone on this bus ride, thoughts of her in my
Mind giving the signs dawning to my eyes
It's dawn and I'm wide-eyed, this morning I asked why
The love died the dove cries, regardless the Sun shine
There's flaws in all mankind, cost of this bloodline
Backstabbers bring knives, but Karma's a gunfight
The heartless see darkness, but always the love shine
I harness the sublime, I'm all in, it's my time
What do I know about love?
What do I see above?
Why do I try so hard?
I drift away into the fog
Yo, it's that fog in the sunrise, never calm in the night sky
Shots in the night time, illuminate the skyline
The children, they all cry, we promise it's alright
It's only shooting stars, block their ears from the gunfire
In Darkness, the light shine, fear is a far cry
Target our bloodline, but freedom we will find
Thoughts of the mourning, the morning, the Sun died
It's dawning, we all in the morning, my son died
They take lives, but never culture that is sublime
Knives to a gunfight, but love is on our side
Karma hit harder when the heartless take what's mine
Got sons and our daughters, we always been one kind
Wide eyed, might I, come forward to ask why?
Do we conform the laws that's based upon some past lies
World they just bide time, blindly, abide by
I write lines that love shine, I'm all in, it's my time
What do I know about love?
What do I see above?
Why do I try so hard?
I drift away into the fog
I'm talking fear, what's inside of me, anxiety gon' swallow me
Fear will never bother me, my heart already hollow-see
Fear that my future self will ask me what I'm living for
Fear that the listeners will say I stole this Kendrick flow
Fear that the kindred souls won't see the end of violence
Fear that I will fold to pressure to be silent
Fear the survivor's guilt if I end up escaping
Fear that the fire felt will be suffocated by all this hatred
Hate the privileged lives that are wasted
Hating myself when I realize I ain't make it
Hate the invaders who demonize in my races
Hating myself for fucking up a good relation
I've been pacing, I've been losing myself
Trying to be grateful but got a plate full of painful stresses
That's abusing my health, yet we choose to excel
Just to prove it to them, don't be confused by the wealth
To me, it's music that's felt
