Kyng Drew - Sunrise

Swear eye been around so long
But eye dont have much to show
Seems the route eye chose
Make em feel uncomfortable
If eye had 1 chance
It would not have come and go
Cuz when this sunrise
It will be worth more than gold

Started from a laundry list
Made of failed attempts
Gave for better reasons to pause
And reassess every angle
My compass seems to be off
Eyem black, brown, or shit
Til eyem flat lined in a ditch
Like my background dont show
Eye was baptised with sticks
All they see is dread locs not crowns
Like eye never taught a beggar how to fish
Took away what little hope eye thought eye found
Put the fire to they candle made a wish

Its obvious they started looking pissed
That explains why niggas talking with a lisp
Now its silence from who shot so far and missed
Different rules
Aint no- format for REAL its just in you
Or no entry like your names not on the list
These humble beginnings led me to sinning, Thinking that scheming meant winning
Eye was born stealing catch-up
Always wondered why the ones who be in need, Quick to take from others in need
Empty thoughts never stacked much
But false hopes

We can be careless and go -for- the- throat
Then get en-gulfed in re-wards
The same time cut- our- chords
Eye lost my humanity chasing prosperity
Pray when eye fly they dont tug on my coat
Eye know this aint right
But right now that eyem cold
My pride never died i can say was revived
And the god in eye know
If eye balance my lows- so they close- to- highs
Then eye will be 9 spaces down to my goals

Simple math
We take you add subtract
To yours
My sights on colored skies
No vi-sor sores
Swear eye aint been this close to high
And staying up these many nights
That eyem not writing score
Since we was careless and blood on- my- soul
My responsibility trump my rewards
Although we lost many to some form prosperity
Aiming to make mama proud was my gold
