Sometimes in this thing called life You go through the ups and downs and wonder What's it all for But during those times, I look to God above Hold onto my faith and know that the answers come along the journey These are my reflections I glare beyond the horizon through the blue hue Think of Brotha Bob and Small World they left us too soon I let my mind go to places that are untapped Sometimes I wish I could zone out and never come back Vibes euphoric, where black can never be the new orange We'd all be kings and queens and the youth would know it I believe in the blood of Jesus my soul was sordid But if Allah makes you a better man then I'm all for it Are you livin' your life? Or are you livin' for them Tomorrow is not promised cuz you never know when You cease to exist I've seen it too many times Cats snuffed out like that mostly by our own kind We're believing the lies, the truth's compromised But one day we shall rise, cuz God's on our side My shell may not see it but my spirit's protected Jewels are multiplied thru infinite reflections In my time I've been through lows and seen some highs But now I'm livin' my best life I'm onto new directions These are my reflections I got that resurrection flow, the message's pure God, family, friends are first the rest is bull If you ain't in my corner then clear the vestibule I'll bury the opposition these haters can watch and listen persistent won't stop cuz one day I'll prevail Keep my faith as I navigate life's travails These back biters claimin' that they gon' pray for me In reality they really ain't got nay for me So I cleaned my closet and swept out fake homies I deposit the lessons from all they taught me I pay no never mind to these critics I spit it, it's over ya head you can admit it Some are trapped in the box their mindset's too rigid Tryin' to pull on heart strings instead of stackin' dem digits Tryin' to make sure my off spring gets it, I feed him lessons So even when I'm gone they can feel my reflections In my time I've been through lows and seen some highs But now I'm livin' my best life I'm onto new directions These are my reflections As I scanned the globe, I began to know Payback came of age not the man of old Exhausted with perception my success is an anomaly If you walked in my shoes then you'd feel the same probably But I've never been a quitter I disprove the concept My neurotransmitters are immune to such nonsense Doin' what I wanna, steady with maneuvers No time for dream killers, screw you Freddy Kruegers We ain't cut the same I'm from a different realm Influenced by street soldiers gone on fifths of Crown Couldn't understand then but I gets it now So I spit urban tales of how that shit went down Uggh Watts Up! they want us locked up not a notch up Never forget how the block was Wasn't innocent things could've turned out real different Blessed is this Eastside denizen, reflections In my time I've been through lows and seen some highs But now I'm livin' my best life I'm onto new directions These are my reflections

Feel me We're livin' in the midst of the madness Time to unify the bougie and the ratchet I was enslaved to the game but then adapted Opened my eyes to rise from the ashes Will my people follow my lead? I don't know I see the future and I'm tellin y'all it's possible Some say that we're too far gone, out of hope Never mind the naysayers, yo! they gotta go Sign of the times people goin' out of their minds Revelations 20, 9, there it was prophesized Self proclaimed leaders lie to keep us all blind I spit LASIK, vision 20/20 eyein' the nation So you can see clearly, the premise is basic They want us 2nd class on a permanent basis They're petrified, imbalanced homeostasis Amerikkka, land of the free and home of the racists All the things that we've gone through And look at what it's come to Now what the hell we gon' do The time has come, get up Claimin' that we want a change But same shit a different day Are you woke or in a haze The time has come, get up Let me show y'all how the game go Get ya papah up, mutha screw that Range Rove Waste away our power, it's painful I'm bout a second away from goin' Django From city to city the hoods are gentrified We think that ice is colder homie that shit's a lie Take the land over, brand it SOLA, surprised Everything they to look conquer dehumanize These coons and herbs, I could ignore 'em Co-sign thru silence nah! no more decorum Cooperate machines take images and distort 'em We're easily appeased by greed too busy flossin We should burn the Slauson, while the world is watchin fa sho Retaliate for hate, manifested through votes Alternative facts, Trump's a reality show I heard he was wack but damn!

This one here is from the heart, man If you've been through some things, you can dig it As I pray, God knows my heart is golden But these impulses, sometimes I can't control 'em I made the shift now my conscious is Godly Does it mean I'm sinless? nope hardly, Will I fall? Probably All that does is help me see clearly Like Lasik, I faced it, my spirit was weary I ain't preachin', it's just that ultimate real spit If you know what I know, then both of us feel this More so than before, I'm reachin' for the Source He's up high trust I found Him I was lost I went through the storm, a sudden hurricane But I felt like goin' on, modern day Eddie Kane At the time was very vain Utilized fluid to do it and bury pain, but then I blew it But I come back strong like Martha Stewart The story of Payback given name Rob Lewis, I pray This is why I pray Each day, come what may, ya know This is why I pray Each day, say what you say, but ya know This is why I pray Will I be cursed for my sins? It's part of my nature I would never win if it was left to these haters God has the power, but so does the devil I can feel the tug he refuses to let go Endured drama, self-inflicted Unless you're sadistic, it's best you missed it I endured the pain, while some were entertained Never again, you're only privy if you're with me Shoeless Joe's deceased, sho' was a beast I guess I'm the walkin' dead riffin' to beats Like Robert Griffin in cleats Some thought I was done, up came the sun and now God has risen in me Came back with a vengeance No longer needing those late night binges, the fences are mended You sow from what's reaped, those seeds they sprout Even the darkness shines when the truth comes out, so I pray This is why I pray Each day, come what may, ya know This is why I pray Each day, say what you say, but ya know This is why I pray I try, to navigate a world that's unGodly These evil spirits are lurkin' I see they wanna harm me But I stand strong, blessed with God's favor I know I'm imperfect but my faith never wavers When I'm off the beaten path, you bring me back You love me too much, and I don't question that I walk in faith represent the downtrodden For cats who can get buck and have hearts hardened In the hoods, infested with rocks and harsh housing God hears our cries all you have to do is call Him When the chips are down and the valley is the deepest Know that God is there divine power He releases Feel it run through you, this ain't that usual Spiritual spit laid to something you can groove to Never will I give up, I know that He delivers Us sinners, I'm bound to be a winner keep my chin up, and pray God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can And wisdom to know the difference Living one day at a time Enjoying one moment at a time Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is Not as I would have it Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will, and just believe That I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him, forever in the next Amen
