soon to be audio to just a moment by nas
Taking baby steps as an adult in this situation
wish my head could rest through this assult im facin
it hard living flawed with concrete commitment in me
ground need breakin’ and my minds the tool it seems
but foolishly I’d rather speak then achieve my dreams
keep things like my shoes clean, stead of quite screams
silent nightmares haunt me, like the ghost of the coming
night terrors kill philosophy, and still I conquer nothing
the blood is bubbling and it’s evident a change is due
but im stuck standing with glued shoes so nothings new
so we take a deep breath an inhale what we were given
stay livin sinin’ in mental prisons with no ambition
our only course of action is to remorse on the past
and understand a mans life like this simply cant last
so imma take my high school degree and be great
create a decree to make the flag salute me, with no hate
no devastation, no limitations, or regulations
simply a mutual respect for us to be placed in
cuz I seen too many held back instead of escapin’
while contemplation leaves us evading regulation
the nations a glass house, we cant face the reflection
this is a session of recession our attentions in detention
development is arrested, who’d guess were suppressed
oppressed and our defense is silence to further wreck mess
so it’s you I address with a message to take a stand
a presage, to rise above liars and live like a man
