I tell them IÂ’m right here He still wonÂ’t come out heÂ’s rivaled with fear Examined by the critics, and put on this dis list I wonÂ’t be jaded though IÂ’m starting to see it They donÂ’t respect him heÂ’s just another musician
Chorus Oh this is a song from my soul This time I wonÂ’t sweat it, IÂ’m gonna let it go I wonÂ’t stress IÂ’ll just do my best Yeah!!! YouÂ’ve taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And IÂ’ll let the whole world know about you
Verse II The voice of suicide Used to creep up in my mind The fat kid could care less if I lived or died I didnÂ’t think it had affect on me But now IÂ’m 25 watching my weight size, IÂ’m really scrawny The name calling, bullying from the hooligans The whoÂ’s in, whoÂ’s not had no friends My audience is triple the size of that now All eyes on me shall I rap now Thank you all for coming to my show Thank you for burning my cd that you stole When I get desperate I write a message My rhymes the essence of day to day lessons Feeling butt naked my pride has been taken Every mistake that IÂ’ve made there taping Can I find peace, can I find me WhoÂ’s the real man thatÂ’s hiding behind the emcee? I want to know
Bridge WhatÂ’s real, whatÂ’s not, whatÂ’s real Super star Chorus Oh this is a song from my soul This time I wonÂ’t sweat it, IÂ’m gonna let it go I wonÂ’t stress IÂ’ll just do my best Yeah!!! YouÂ’ve taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And IÂ’ll let the whole world know about you
Verse III We may not agree on everything or anything By any means IÂ’m a fulfill the dream I seen it come and go, IÂ’ve tried to grab hold Hope I donÂ’t end up losing my soul Hip hop ainÂ’t worth it IÂ’ve served and cursed it Sacrificed to make it work, and lost my purpose ItÂ’s not what IÂ’d die for to risk my wife and all Strife cause canÂ’t compare the lives itÂ’s caught I am Christian, emceeing a gifting, hip hopÂ’s what IÂ’m living Not replacing religion, I got relationship with a God in the sky He talks to me defines wrong and the right Talk to him, when youÂ’re walking or jogging Skating or playing, or painting or balling IÂ’m a pass the mic, I on a path for Christ Let me tell ye the, shoot IÂ’m out a time
Chorus Oh this is a song from my soul This time I wonÂ’t sweat it, IÂ’m gonna let it go I wonÂ’t stress IÂ’ll just do my best Yeah!!! YouÂ’ve taken up all my cares Given me eye sight and meaning And IÂ’ll let the whole world know about you
