    My halo
    Tried to punish me
    From troubled mind, I came to find
    The waters were never sweet
    Paranoia got me looking out the window
    Mood might change depending on how the wind blow
    When I was young no one told me health ain't always physical
    Looking around, I ain't no different from my kinfolk
    I pray we heal with words, who Jah bless, no man can curse
    I pray that I'm a vessel and I stay giving all I've learned
    If self loves means putting me first
    It's the greatest love story on earth
    In my pain is a glory
    You kept tryna control me
    But your God isn't for me
    So, I'll be moving on
    In your head, you forsake me
    But my heart isn't breaking
    And like dew from a flower
    I see the break of dawn
    Open fire, all my life a fighter
    Dropped out of college, still I
    Made it through the wire
    Betting on myself to take me higher
    I'm the supplier
    A thousand mini deaths within
    All black attire
    You brought that woman to a low
    I might amplify her
    It's more than evident, I know
    I'm what they desire
    Can't tell you what the future holds or the day I'll retire
    They tell me "Simbi, it's in your hands", you're preaching to the choir
    To get your voice heard, I guess
    Takes some finesse
    This music shit, one big game
    I'm playing chess
    They want me speak on world issues on the internet
    But that not how I speak my truth or the way I express
    You ain't got a clue how I feel
    And what I suppress
    So when you're in the public eye
    I wanna see your best
    I been saying the world's ****ed from when I was twelve
    So don't tell me what I should be speaking on, if you ain't changed yourselves
    My pen has always been respected
    I'm still connected
    And when I write, it's introspective
    Somewhat subjective
    I'm not sure who you think I am
    Or what you're expecting
    But I been human all my life
    So, please accept it
    You live your life on your screen
    Your mind's congested
    You don't know what it is I see
    And how I'm affected
    So quit acting like the world, I've been neglecting
    I chose to keep myself protected
    You remain infected
    Acting like I did a crime
    You want me arrested
    If I'm not good enough for you
    Then stop investing
    It's not by force, you should listen
    I don't expect it
    But I won't tolerate a lie
    Or be disrespected
    Yo, I am not your damn puppet, your prodigy
    Sometimes, I can't believe the nerve, the hypocrisy
    I'm not responsible for the world in all honesty
    All I can do is better myself, that's my prophecy, my prophecy, yeah
    If we're getting high tonight
    It's gonna be a long night
    It's gonna be a long night
    Underneath the sky, we fly high
    I was always hiding
    Now, I'm on a mountain
    Rest assured your voice is heard, I'm here listening
    But I don't wanna hear about no talk, about you giving in
    It's ok having a moment of weakness when your low
    But you're the strongest person I know, you know
    You know
    In my pain is a glory
    You kept tryna control me
    But your God isn't for me
    So I'll be moving on
    In your head, you forsake me
    But my heart isn't breaking
    And like dew from a flower
    I see the break of dawn
    If we're getting high tonight
    It's gonna be a long night
    It's gonna be a long night
    Underneath the sky, we fly high
    I was always hiding
    Now, I'm on a mountain
