Mixed with time and pain Ingrained with higher purpose know the worth of my name And the product I done came with
Not blameless for the straps and the **** that I hold The sacks that I sold Kept my baby out the cold and her belly full of food And her back never lacking of clothes This game is so grimy it's impossible to win with your innocence intact Matter of fact it deranges
The person that you wanted to remain intrinsically changes
We can actualize but our actual lives are affected by a hunger for sane-ness In the back of our minds Are the nastiest lines that a **** emcee never came with Once we get tired of fakin' Unchain the beast in the brain that awakens See the clear path that I used to couldn't see Be the kind of artist that I thought I couldn't be Become that man that'd rather die standing Than ever live head down bending a knee So I purify my soul in the land of the fire My sweat and my tears dull pain And the blood that I leave on the battlefield proves What I've always known I was born to reign
