Peon neon - It's a journey (Live Recording)

It's a journey
Man I did this to myself
Allowed them to
Oversteps they boundaries
Gotta find my self wealth
Dealt in so much poverty
My heart was reaping sovereignty
Valued quantity over quality
The fruit of my labors
Meer honesty modestly
Consciously I knew
They was wrong for me
But honestly
I didn't care
What was right for me
I danced with my demons
Bathed with some heathens
Thrived in weakness
Unscathed in my thesis
Basked in the putrid smell of sin
I did everything
It took to win
Even let the devil in
The price of my peace
Paid it with my soul
The price of my life
Paid by the heavy toll
Wasn't whole
But I acted well
So it's what people thought
Dressed in clothes
That looked so swell
Cuz I knew people was soft
Always up in ya face
Never paying attention to Themselves
Blinded by admiration
Disguised as hate
And when the bill comes
It's a little too late
To try to pay the piper
When he's looking at ya face
Overdrawn and they
Accounts delinquent
All up in my purse
Tryna check my worth
All up in my mentions
Trying to grab my attention
Never pay they bills
But they pay me
Through they conviction
But I checked my pay
Still gotta fight today
Not enough
To put food on my plate
Smile and push away
Any negative energy
That comes my way
Hid from the truth
Fought the same demons
Of my youth
But now I'm living in those roots
It's a journey
And it's not about the destination
It's about if you make it through
