Future Ghost - A Matter Of Time

I was told to look inside
But what I found was meant to hide
Many failures but I've tried
Still amazed that I survived
Look alive, the color's changing in your eyes
Deep dive
The center is colder than ice
Heat rises like coming of tides
I was bold and looked inside
Learned a piece of me had died
Prophets often sent to lie
Too late when falsified
Look alive, the rain that fell is gone and dry
Good try
It's pouring on the other side
Coming for us, just a matter of time time time
Closer than most deadly approach
Baptized in the fire surviving the roast
This the gospel of the real, my spirit evoked
To take the scars and the pain and watch it provoke
Every sense inside my bones that's saying this shit gone work
I know a thing or two about getting it out the dirt
Play on my intelligence bet that you end up hurt
When a whole lot of nothing is said it's empty words
Push beyond my limits resist the primal urge
To spin out of control say fuck it and be alone
Hardship and struggle that equals the danger zone
Being raised in the dark until I opened my eyes
Reveal the truth before meet my demise
(Reveal the truth before meet my demise)
Then I saw the light
I was told to look inside
But what I found was meant to hide
Many failures but I've tried
Still amazed that I survived
Look alive, the color's changing in your eyes
Deep dive
The center is colder than ice
Heat rises like coming of tides
Usually I follow up the truest of me
True as can be my pen carries the weight
Of those who ain't make it to here where I stay
The love that keeps me going is deeper than I can say
Quicken my pace use caution when I act
Remember the fact that you got what these niggas lack
From poverty stricken to playing scrabble with words
From letting go of yourself so you can grow can be heard
Loose canon but staying quiet reserve
Never playing my hand that tells you what I have learned
Peeping the script until the credits roll
Staying composed
Running my race I'm running in place
Losing my self I'm upping the stakes
Playing for keeps keeping away
All the negative higher hopes I cherish it
Done with the politicking awake from the inhibition like
(Awaken from the inhibition like)
Then I saw the light
I was told to look inside
But what I found was meant to hide
Many failures but I've tried
Still amazed that I survived
Look alive, the color's changing in your eyes
Deep dive
The center is colder than ice
Heat rises like coming of tides
I was bold and looked inside
Learned a piece of me had died
Prophets often sent to lie
Too late when falsified
Look alive, the rain that fell is gone and dry
Good try
It's pouring on the other side
Coming for us, just a matter of time time time
