Elijah Johnson - Left Behind

Can I just get a second of your time?
They tell me rap could hold me back
From the power I got in hands when I get up and double back
“I can’t balance the two”, they wonder if it’s an act
The actions of my character, carry sins on my back
I tell my momma relax, I got it
She knows that my state of mind got wildfires
I fire on niggas that make assumptions
And preaching that they in love with
Whatever is best for me, but they get the shots and they gunning
These passengers up to something
Think they gunning for me
Shopping for opportunities, Target this nigga E
Just when I think its sunny, I suddenly hit my eve
And although it looks beautiful, days is shorter for me
I know bitches that look for rings
Niggas that look for peace
I’m looking for it too, but I think it’s found in between
All the trust and the fuckin’ loyalty that you aint giving me
Drowning in my thoughts, it’s safe to say that’s its deep
Like Jesus had problems, and him not running? The death of him
In his time of need nobody was really there for him
Not to be selfish but who gon' be there for me
When niggas want my head where that platter gon' be?
Visions of backstabbing
The blood got some warmth to it
I think it’s shocking, the newest plug been going thru it
Adapt to problems and went through smoke until he blew it
Nigga talking, he hemmed him up, the sound of music
2 Minutes it’s safe to say I been going stupid
I found my path and my peace of mind until I lose it
They sell your records and take your money these niggas ruthless
And leave you poor but never broke, I learn from Buddhist
These flat heads gon' think they nailed it but really screwed it
They search for power and blow a fuse and it serge a Judas
I mean if you just, study the deeper meanings
Its loud on surface level, below they be giving secrets
I seen it, I said I seen it, he said it I don’t believe it
I watch it play out, I’m seeing these niggas scheming
Let me get an interlude of the inner you
Take a journey through your soul tell me will it tell the truth
Do you choose the plead the fuckin’ fifth it’s uncomfortable
Or do you choose to live your life, like you untouchable
Right now, I only fear getting left behind
Can’t see me getting chosen, this life of mine
I just want to appreciate you giving me a second
Go ahead and rewind this song
I promise you ain’t catch everything
