lyrics
(Intro)
(Verse 1):
I've caught my stride; with all my might.
My walk, my vibe has changed. Pardon my display
of confidence. For so long, I fought for this.
I lay back in my sarcophagus.
Damn right I’m playing hard to get.
Time and energy ain't free.
Villainous, venomous strokes and coats
layered on every wound; stitching my woes with growth.
I’m no longer a familiar soul to most.
Overdosed on a bit of my own repose.
What a breath of fresh air. I was choked and closed
off from inhaling the scent of the lotus. Not a pedal was broken.
Its colorless head had a glow lit.
I picked it up and promised that I’d never let go.
Tucked it right behind the ear for memorabilia’s sake;
a sign of rebellion. I chose to spit in the face
of whatever was wrote and scripted as fate.
My flesh is the whole abyss in a physical state.
(Chorus):
Oh...
Many of times, I didn't accept and simply declined.
This is a different time. I'm ready and willing to fly.
(Hook):
If it's all for nothing, I’ll make it about something.
You fooled me once, so never twice. I’m Infinite and can never die.
Take me on. (x4)
(Verse 2):
I've caught my stride; with all my might.
My walk, my vibe has changed. Pardon my display
of confidence. Got so many scars for this
from myself and the war I’m in.
Can't rest ‘til I’m gone, and it's the end of the song.
Momma’, I’m a warrior. You gave the sharpened sword.
Still, you never seen the mess, or when my arms were sore.
Grandmomma’, your faith in me kept me alive and well;
although, I hide my Hell and the impurities inside my shell.
But, I swear I’m invincible now.
I could lift into the clouds.
(Chorus):
Oh...
Many of times, I didn't accept and simply declined.
This is a different time. I'm ready and willing to fly.
(Hook):
If it's all for nothing, I’ll make it about something.
You fooled me once, so never twice. I’m Infinite and can never die.
Take me on. (x4)
(Bridge / Outro):
Its colorless head had a glow lit.
I picked it up and promised that I’d never let go.
Black Lotus. (x2)
