about

This track "it ain't easy" reflects the self conversations most of us may find ourselves facing in our most vulnerable and random moments. Like entertaining ideas such as self doubt, mass oppression, etc. Showing all that life can be difficult and that "it ain't easy" ......... Hopefully this song can remind you all, that regardless of how complicated life can be, it's up to us to not only survive but THRIVE. So thrive!

lyrics

Cold lies
A soul can’t be

Don’t put that evil on
It get hard
To leave my home
Stay in place
Be alone

Now a days
We really don’t speak
That’s why I keep a phone
I’m the type to keep my distance
Just so I can see the tone

Now a daze
I’m just not me

And that’s okay

The type of days

That I’ll await

Require change

If I’m to gain


But how you doing dawg


Insane
Crazy
From the dreams
That I’m chasing
If I can arrange it’s
Amazing

What you thinking about now

Life and the way
That despite
It’s a fight
Might
hang to retain

*Add Vice*
To the plight
To sharpen the knife

Than ride in the night
For the light
It may due harm to my sight
But okay
I See my future is bright

What about yo team

My team is good

Serene in hood

Ready to stand
The dream is up

Open hands
The keys was rough

Looking a round

Amused with a sound

It's a tool in the ground

I fuse to the mound

Then dig like a hound

break as I pound

What did you find

A case with clues

With a path
to lead me to the jewels

peeping the moves

I'm keeping my screws

Tight in case they get lose

Sight

Mind over change

My drive for a lane

That applies
To the highs
As I grind for the stage

Wait

Time for the pay

Wait

Undig the graves
That my family did financially
systematically paved


Wait
We Slaved


What do you mean


You can not keep my from speaking

Hold on
When my people are grieving
Hold on
We trapped in a sequence
I cannot watch and not free em
When we breath for our freedom

Can't let a policy bet em

Dawg you need to chill


I know you impatient

Filled with frustration
It’s this generational curse
My people hurt
And what’s worse
We getting worse
Not what we deserve
The only perks that we get
is what keep us deterred

I smile
for every part of my successes
As time progresses
I invest in self
A lot of lessons
If not today
One day I’ll ask for help


Let me focus
Breathe

Achieve goals that I have
And believe
Mold
Play the protagonist roll
Walking an activists road
Cold
But I can’t fold
If they can deceive
Now hates a relief
I break and release
The Peace
Show

Split it
Only percentages
Get this
Immaculate Vision
Encrypted
Decisions
Contingent
Making me 
Move with vacancy
Blatantly
Wild
A Paton to my brow
Taking me down

And sirens the sound
To invoke a fear

White neighborhoods
they don't want us going there 

Cops a hope for tears

Shots fired
It’s No recording here

Black


8
To how long they survive
Surprised we aren’t
Extinct yet to mass genocide
We keep sweat

We’re seen as dogs
So now we keep vets

Chains
To show we licensed
Fightin

crisis
Lifeless

Exciting to see



We go beyond our needs
To Appease
A disease
When the keys
In our reach
Let's agree
To be free.

Open the doors
For the one's
Who scorn in the morgues
 morn and absorbs
A Corpse full of horrors
A force of enforcers
To silence the voices

See

As time can repeat
Deficiency meets 
A Life’s full of grief
To impede and debrief
Until deceased

But I cant die
Look me in me eyes
I hope that you survive
Thrive..
