Acceptance Lyrics

1.2.3…

Kujichagulia day sitting on a Wednesday
Cloudy skies light rain make the trees sway
Searching deep within godly voice to guide
Determined
Giving up the self passenger of the ride of life
Make sharp turns like a knife
Did some things before now I’m reaching higher heights
Don’t want to get stuck and be a has what waxpoeting
About back in the day
I used to get up and go but now I don’t get up and go
Unless I pray first
Tried to figure it out what came was a verse
Over a beat that I ripped YouTube
Thinking of my next moves what them all to go smooth
Im from the rough side of struggle but it’s all relative
Light a candle meditate instead of thinking negative
Doing heart work is hard I admit not getting over
Getting through it with music

It is then that you really have to sing if you want to survive
And it says let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable 2x

Yo
I’m alone and on my own
Spiritual GPS over wifi and cell phones
I read a book by Sly Stone
And I could relate
Not to the drug tales
But how music is heavyweight
And the passion to write positive in uncertain times
See my reflection in the window as I open the blinds
Looking like my father trying to go farther
Wonderer at times but I’m never weary
Like the rain from the clouds getting teary
I never stay there for very long
Cause self pity is kryptonite
Like the clouds moving through the east
And give way to the sunlight
That’s the way I treat this mic
And I didn’t have to fight
Truly didn’t have to write it.

It is then that you really have to sing if you want to survive
And it says let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable 2x
