Lenell Louis - resilience. Lyrics

Flow boy flow
Flow boy flow
Flow boy flow

My ambition to survive
Is matched by severed ties
My testimony is ill, for real, surprised I ain't die
Look, I give you the real, they doubted the fact; it is what it is
No need to react, I know where I'm at
Nobody wants to see you come out of the fight unscratched
But I earned these scars, I wear'em with pride like a designer bag
Trapped inside mind, I'm dying inside but niggas laugh at the fact
Let me do the same thing and these niggas ready to aim and clap
Keep that energy nigga, my 40 disrupts like it was late to class
Like it was late to class; my tock is ticking at a rate that's fast
I'm praying and hoping I make this last
My team is hoping I take us past
Past the light to higher heights
I just wanna get this right
Cause I'm improvising not realizing that I'm fighting a fight
That's an uphill battle, feelin' like chattel and I'm losing my crown
People believing in me; I'm sitting here buggin' like "what is this now?"
I'm not used to this type of feeling, can I trust it or bear it down?
I'm not used to this type of feeling, can I trust it or bear it down?
Am I out my mind?
I'm racin' time
I want the world
I want the shine
The world is cold
Will I survive?
Will I crash and die?
Brokenness is trapped inside
Jaded mind, feeling blind
As I walk the fine line
Einstein, Mr. Hyde
Even though I'm on the rise
My time will paralyze
I feel like I will lose the prize
I feel like all my thoughts and dreams are coming back for my demise
Whoa
Who woulda thought that this the way it goes?
I hope I get to see my niggas grow
The way that things are looking, I don't know
Look man, I don't know, but I know that
I just gotta handle business
So many people paying attention
So many people hoping and wishing
That I fail all my missions
That I lose all my ambition
Drop the ball like I'm down three to one and then I miss it
Man I gotta shake this feeling
I done seen to many losses
Rumors runnin' like runnin' faucets
Acting like everything is flawless
When I'm fightin' with my conscious
I done had it all and lost it all like a broken promise
I done beat the odds and became the odds like casino profits
What you know about your own brother tryna quit on you?
All because a dream's a dream and its looking like it won't come true
Let me take the lead, I guarantee that we all gon' eat
Weird on how he wants to quit, never seen him in defeat
Sumn deeper brewin', I just know he's going through it
We just gotta keep on doin' what we're doin' with this music
And I promise we'll get through it
Cause we're moving as a unit
Maryland is on our back cause we're built to move this movement
I ain't going back to where we came
I'm here to spread our sacred name
Eclectic Minds, let it ring
I feel like I'ma bring some change
I foresee amazing things
Its running deep within my veins
I done came too far to see my actions fall apart in vain
