    Lyrics:
    VERSE 1
    Peacemaker
    Son of a violent man
    Dream chaser
    Raised on divided land
    Where thieves raped us
    Treated like I’m not a man
    Our behavior
    Like rebels without a plan
    Step false get offed by a coward’s hand
    Life’s shorter than an hour hand
    But the least of my worries is the Taliban
    Or hopin’ that they’ll pass an assault rifle ban
    Most guns where I’m from aren’t licensed fam
    The ones that are
    Usually held tight in hands
    By the cops and so called authority figures
    Cringe at my black skin while calling us nigger
    But 6 letters can't define me I'm so much bigger
    The path I walk,
    Most people can’t endure the rigor
    Back up talk
    By displaying so much vigor
    Mastered art
    The blind just ignore the picture
    Passed a tart
    But of course my portion’s bitter
    That or starve
    Cause round here they don’t deliver
    Grabbed a quart
    Rather be engulfed in liquor
    Lacked support
    And I wasn’t born a winner
    An afterthought
    These know-it-alls won’t consider
    A man of God
    Who sits upon a throne of wicker
    Who scratched & Clawed
    to reach the very point I’m sitting
    After-all
    That’s what fuels the poems I’m spitting
    HOOK
    (Substantial)
    I’ma take this pain I’ve been dealt with and use it
    This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it
    Without my music and art I’d be useless
    I always knew
    I got to do so...
    I’ma take the pain I’ve been dealt and use it
    This ship can’t reach the stars if I don’t fuel it
    Without this music and art I’d be useless
    I always knew
    What I had to do 'cause...
    (Oma Pearl)
    You can’t hide from who you are
    You can’t hide from who you are
    Not even the highest peak
    The lowest place
    In every space
    You always leave a trace
    You always leave a trace
    Always leave a trace!
    VERSE 2
    Blood pressure high,
    Self-respect low
    Could be cancer inside
    Am I’m scared to know
    Lucky to be alive
    At the age of 34
    Livin’ in fast times
    Still manage to die slow
    IV pumping morphine in my bloodstream
    Woke with a scratchy throat & groggy what a rough dream
    Something’s
    Not right, nurse can you help me sit up
    Felt like I was stabbed,
    Every time I try to get up
    Hurt so damn bad,
    I can’t even cough this phlegm up
    Pain every minute
    Every moment that I been up
    When I told the fam
    They looked at me like I’m finished
    Huh! I’ll be damned
    if anything we’ll make me give up
    Wishing I was home in my chair
    Anywhere but here
    Baby girl completely unaware
    Lives without a care
    It ain’t fair
    When your child, you can’t even pick up
    But I did it for her, so I’ma keep my chin up
    HOOK
    BRIDGE
    (Oma Pearl)
    No matter what happens today
    Tomorrow the sun will rise
    We'll be there
    We'll be there
    We'll be there
    To greet the sun
    Good Morning
    Good Morning
    Good Morning
    Good Morning

    Criminally under-viewed. You two deserve to top the charts infinitely more than the watered down, factory farmed hip-hop of today.
