illthought - Life

Lonely nights ahead, lonely days aloof
They say real don't exist? Well here's your living proof
Hard life, bare the scars, hard ass'd with it
The trouble with the past is, you'll never forget
And trouble ain't the living, trouble is forgiveness
Looking outside of yourself into other visions
Hard part of the hard part is to find a start
It takes more than loud mouths it takes a lot of heart
Try not to play the part just cause they sayin' you fit it
They say this "this life is what you make it" so we deal with it
A single peaceful word is better than a thousand lines
This hunger every nights' got me livin' a thousand crimes
Deliverance is what I went through the first time
And innocence is what I lost at the age of nine
Within yourself is a prison, cages of the mind
Within yourself is a light and only you can shine
We're living blind on this race so beat your own path
Just know when the hard times do come, they won't last
So tell me what you love, I'll show you what you are
Tell me what you love, I'll show you what you are

It's kinda funny looking back at it
How I was moving the trap, now I'm a track addict
I kept pursuing my dreams it's like a bad habit
See I was reaching for stars, but said I can't have it
But what I could have was hard times
Nickel and dime the streets I had to earn my
Burn my
Bridges from a past life
Still givin' a fuck for that, it's the past, right?
But I'm still looking toward the future
Even though life has been fucking me
Karma Sutra
And she ain't showing no love
I still get the dial tone from the man above when all I wanna do is
Pick up the phone
Take a moment for myself see I been all alone
Like this is all that I know
All I could be
Pursuing a dream is all I believe
So you can take it from me

It's why we chant down Babylon
Rising up, been on this road for too long
Letting these politicians lie to us
Label and describing us, as pawns and such
I-n-I reaching higher heights
Emancipate myself so imma be alright
In the land of the free home of the slave driver
Got to save yourself so reach higher heights
And hold a lighter to your heart
I universal love has got me shining brighter through the darker times
Jah see's my
Passion for the people let us, shine
