lyrics

You don't need defenses if your world ain't got no fences
And you're free to be your truth but still you choose to be offensive
I'm just trying to find that balance between the atmosphere and trenches
In a world that's never fair you better care bout your intentions
See I make my own luck, I don't give a grown fuck
I still do this for the heart, I don't care bout no buck
Shit, I'm 20 years deep my peoples think I'm so stuck
Been arrested in this world yet it's what made me grow up, yup
I'm bout my faith and making people feel loved
Or maybe that's just me projecting and I just need a hug
I swear to god I'm on the path that I'm supposed to be cuz
I can feel it in my heart, I'm my art, in my blood
There's a fire in my soul and it's saying tell everybody
That it's gonna be alright if you look in and see what's godly
We all here for a reason and it's not to fuck and party
It's to get your soul right before the light leaves your body

Lord knows, I'm living in a world of darkness
Lord knows, I'm living in a world

The more you pay attention the darker the world can seem
And I vacillate between what I'm seeing and what I dream
And I know that lines thin still I'll snort it like a fiend
I just wanna make the things that I do be what I mean
And it's hard to see the difference we been blinded by the cream
What was once an act of heart is now a fight for self esteem
I just want a little truth for that I'd even hail a queen
If her corona was for good and not controlling human beings
But it's clear to get some truth we gotta dig a little deeper
Cause that crown is now a virus and we all hiding from a fever
Me I ran into the fire begging make me a believer, but
All I found were lies that's why I'm now a truth seeker
Truths my money speak that shit or be gone
Cause fuck the new normal I ain't trying to belong
Keep your betters from your worse I know my right from a wrong
I'll turn the darkness into light and alchemize it through song

Lord knows, I'm living in a world of darkness
Lord knows, I'm living in a world
