[00:00.256]My halo
[00:04.314]Tried to punish me
[00:10.404]From troubled mind, I came to find
[00:16.086]The waters were never sweet
[00:35.868]Paranoia got me looking out the window
[00:38.592]Mood might change depending on how the wind blow
[00:41.253]When I was young no one told me health ain't always physical
[00:44.624]Looking around, I ain't no different from my kinfolk
[00:47.061]I pray we heal with words, who Jah bless, no man can curse
[00:49.976]I pray that I'm a vessel and I stay giving all I've learned
[00:52.666]If self loves means putting me first
[00:54.035]It's the greatest love story on earth
[00:57.680]In my pain is a glory
[01:00.487]You kept tryna control me
[01:03.506]But your God isn't for me
[01:06.276]So, I'll be moving on
[01:09.229]In your head, you forsake me
[01:12.130]But my heart isn't breaking
[01:14.999]And like dew from a flower
[01:17.954]I see the break of dawn
[01:18.923]Open fire, all my life a fighter
[01:21.083]Dropped out of college, still I
[01:22.844]Made it through the wire
[01:23.834]Betting on myself to take me higher
[01:25.844]I'm the supplier
[01:26.789]A thousand mini deaths within
[01:28.576]All black attire
[01:29.815]You brought that woman to a low
[01:31.493]I might amplify her
[01:32.716]It's more than evident, I know
[01:34.423]I'm what they desire
[01:35.519]Can't tell you what the future holds or the day I'll retire
[01:38.545]They tell me "Simbi, it's in your hands", you're preaching to the choir
[01:41.604]To get your voice heard, I guess
[01:43.236]Takes some finesse
[01:44.327]This music shit, one big game
[01:46.156]I'm playing chess
[01:47.300]They want me speak on world issues on the internet
[01:50.060]But that not how I speak my truth or the way I express
[01:53.076]You ain't got a clue how I feel
[01:54.948]And what I suppress
[01:56.071]So when you're in the public eye
[01:57.807]I wanna see your best
[01:58.959]I been saying the world's ****ed from when I was twelve
[02:01.820]So don't tell me what I should be speaking on, if you ain't changed yourselves
[02:04.872]My pen has always been respected
[02:06.712]I'm still connected
[02:07.787]And when I write, it's introspective
[02:09.608]Somewhat subjective
[02:10.656]I'm not sure who you think I am
[02:12.547]Or what you're expecting
[02:13.624]But I been human all my life
[02:15.425]So, please accept it
[02:16.553]You live your life on your screen
[02:18.353]Your mind's congested
[02:19.465]You don't know what it is I see
[02:21.156]And how I'm affected
[02:22.385]So quit acting like the world, I've been neglecting
[02:25.367]I chose to keep myself protected
[02:27.175]You remain infected
[02:28.236]Acting like I did a crime
[02:30.068]You want me arrested
[02:31.239]If I'm not good enough for you
[02:32.980]Then stop investing
[02:34.089]It's not by force, you should listen
[02:35.937]I don't expect it
[02:37.015]But I won't tolerate a lie
[02:38.757]Or be disrespected
[02:39.940]Yo, I am not your damn puppet, your prodigy
[02:42.777]Sometimes, I can't believe the nerve, the hypocrisy
[02:45.761]I'm not responsible for the world in all honesty
[02:48.641]All I can do is better myself, that's my prophecy, my prophecy, yeah
[02:53.127]If we're getting high tonight
[02:57.584]It's gonna be a long night
[03:00.458]It's gonna be a long night
[03:04.703]Underneath the sky, we fly high
[03:09.334]I was always hiding
[03:12.380]Now, I'm on a mountain
[03:16.044]Rest assured your voice is heard, I'm here listening
[03:18.861]But I don't wanna hear about no talk, about you giving in
[03:21.661]It's ok having a moment of weakness when your low
[03:24.724]But you're the strongest person I know, you know
[03:27.455]You know
[03:29.698]In my pain is a glory
[03:32.683]You kept tryna control me
[03:35.634]But your God isn't for me
[03:38.535]So I'll be moving on
[03:41.497]In your head, you forsake me
[03:44.381]But my heart isn't breaking
[03:47.314]And like dew from a flower
[03:50.230]I see the break of dawn
[03:51.559]If we're getting high tonight
[03:56.036]It's gonna be a long night
[03:59.016]It's gonna be a long night
[04:03.200]Underneath the sky, we fly high
[04:07.868]I was always hiding
[04:10.850]Now, I'm on a mountain
