River

I was raised by the players and the game
That they didn't want to win so they never treated the same
From the rougher side of the terrain
Renovating broken links in the generational chain
Bigger than the curses and the claims
That I watched em try to put on my family's last names
Runnin to the truth
Could Look like runnin from the lights and the fame
When you ain't forget the nights of the pain
Splitting dice by the flame
Betting on the fights in my brain
Led to wronging all the rights in my lane
From the heights I obtained
I got extra ice in my veins
If you thinking you could try come again
I know Time wasnt tame
I'm refined and I'm wise in the ways
That I find Serendipity aligned and arranged
Strive in the middle of the grind
I'm lettin it fall in line
To the rhythm of the river when I pray now

Another flight through the valley in the shadow of death
Tryna keep my head from out of the depths
That's where the hazard is left
Cause this depression been as quiet as kept
tried to sacrifice it for the success

Internal burdens while externally blessedly
It's been a world I accept
My therapist said thats too much to compress
put my soul to the test
Identity could be the infinite jest
Along with time robbing all of the stress
It's work to stop the descent

Its different when the listener ventin
I understand
Commitment and fulfillment I balance on either hand
I still get co-dependent and worry about the plan
Adjusting to a space where I'm callin out the commands
Appreciate the patience while I been learning to land
It's still a couple lines we been drawin over the sand
But I'm standing my ground with durability
Committed to delivering my essence of humility
For real
