THEY DON'T BELIEVE U, TIL U MAKE IT
FACED WITH VARIOUS TRIALS, BUT WHAT I TRUST IS SACRED
SUCCESS CAN SEEM SO FAR AWAY, OR IT CAN BE ONE STEP AWAY
DIRECTION IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ORDINARY BECOMING EXTRAORDINARY
CONFLICT ARISES
CONFRONTED WITH HUSTLE SCHEMES
ACHIEVING IS N MY HEART, SO MAN CAN'T SILENCE MY DREAMS
THE ATMOSPHERE IS SET, THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS THE VERY ESSENCE
THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD ON EARTH
2 WELCOME CHALLENGE IS A BLESSING
PROGRESS IS CONTINUOUS, ALTHOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES CAN BECOME STRENUOUS
MY EYES VISUALIZE...
THE UNSEEN
HATERS R N DISGUISE
DENIED, DESPISED, AND OFTEN CRITICIZED
BUILT 2 OVERTHROW LIMITATIONS
THROUGH THE TRENCHES, WE MUST RISE
HOW MANY DAYS...?
SHALL WE WONDER AIMLESSLY N A DAZE
CAUGHT UP N A MAZE
N THIS ENVIRONMENT, KIDS R RAISED
NEGATIVE ENERGY CLOSES N ON A STRONG INDIVIDUAL
VIOLENCE IS THE VOICE OF THE UNHEARD, MANY WILL SUFFER RIDICULE
THE SYSTEM IS HYPOCRITICAL, PIMPING THE PEOPLE ON BOTH ENDS
WHERE'S THE COMPASSION 4 THE POVERTY STRICKENED?
WHO NOTICES THE PREDICAMENTS THAT WE'RE N ?
POVERTY IS A CURSE, SO I RELEASE POVERTY FROM MY MINDSTATE
NO LONGER ISSUES OF COLOR, WHEN IT COMES 2 THE CRIME RATE
N THESE SECTIONS, WE SUFFOCATE
STRUGGLING 2 BREATHE
MY FAITH IS N THE LORD, ABOVE ALL ELSE
I AM RELIEVED
THEY LIE & DIE 4 GREED, HUNGRY 4 STRANGE BLOOD
THE PRIVACY OF DARK CORNERS, EXPOSES THE VULNERABLE SOUL TRAPPED N THE MUD
HOWEVER, THE MIRACLE IS RIGHT NEXT 2 ME
ANGELS R PROTECTING ME
MY NEIGHBOR TURNS HIS BACK, CONSTANTLY NEGLECTING ME
THE EVENING NEWS VIEW
NEGATIVE ISSUES THAT WE GO THROUGH
N A SEASON FILLED WITH BLESSINGS, WE STILL PREPARE 2 LOSE
WE NEED OUR MINDSTATES RENEWED
THERE R DETAILS WITHIN THIS PERVERSE NATION
WHERE I RESIDE, BULLETS FLY...
SECTIONS OF SUFFOCATION
