Master Christopher, Indiria Everette, Annie Jeng, Xavier Ware - Rachmaninoff Lyrics

Folks are trying to get through real pain
Fighting all the bull to stay sane
Brothers must ignore the disdain
Sisters need her crown may she reign
But we don't listen
Cause we don't get into family business
Avoid the mending cuz it ain't trendy
So for our mental we grab the champagne
What a drain
Hard to try to break those chains
Trust me I know there's no shame
No EA Sports it's no game
It's realistic
But momma said not to be a statistic
So then I had to get optimistic
But Lord please don't let it all be in vain
I pray
For all those who bear the weight
But too strong so won't convey
They need help but yet still Slay
I pray you find peace one day
Cause you ain't living, you're just surviving
You need some vision, to begin thriving
And find your mission, no eight to fivin'
Cause they ain't gon pay
What you really really worth
But you really need the work
So it really really hurts
Now you sweating through your shirt
When you really go exert
They'll keep you in the dirt
Make you really go berserk though
It's a new Jim Crow just with more dough
Time to kick old habits call it Judo
If it ain't about growth need to forgo
Anything that takes time from your real goals
No Gimmicks
Believe me when I say no limits
Achievements may break the Guinness
But failures will come just pivot
Rachy overcame the critics
Depression had paid a visit
It tainted his own self-image
But he had a rebound spirit
Loss, filled his heart with grief
Writer's block no melodies
Found some hope through therapy
Then he rose and wrote this piece
So no excuse
There's eight billion people not one like you
With those kinds of odds don't be a two
That means what you offer no one can do
So shine your light bright don't be recluse
Unless that's your style then you do you
Authenticity is key don't be untrue
You're a diamond in the rough who's overdue
To be clean
Time to see that sheen
What you've yet to be's unseen
Fight the thoughts that self demean
You were born a king or queen
Or both
You are champion here is a toast
Change up your views cause here is the scope
Nobody's clean but God is the Soap
I'll be the love cause you are the hope
We are living in a world that won't concur
Thoughts and views we cannot merge
Compromise would be absurd
I infer, that might be our curse
Feelings might get you hurt
Out one ear don't dare insert
Q tips from the minds of herbs
Who fake their flirt
They just some perps
You think they're loyal but watch they will desert
Welp, they were bad for your health
Find you some folk with a little more depth
Birds of a feather so hang with some wealth
Who will better yourself and help you propel
To your dreams
Not a fool running your beans
Tell by the signs what it all really means
By the way that they act
And they talk a lot of smack
Then you know that they talk behind your back
When you grow and they don't
And their loyalty is slack
Then you know they're pretty whack
And they cap
Through some lips that are chapped
Cause they're dry like a scalp
Cause they're flakey when it counts
You feel better when without
If they're real they will lift you when you're down
Tell your future by your friends look around
If you can believe then you can achieve
And what you believe is what you'll receive
The dream is inside you don't be deceived
I'll say it again until you conceive
Keep your eyes fixed on the goals
Block out the lies that come from the crows
No matter your age you never too old
Imagination worth more than Gold
The sky ain't the limit we've been on the moon
Remember to guard with whom you commune
The struggles are hard you won't be immune
When challenges come they'll be opportune
Better keep your cool
And you better keep it smooth
Patience is the key
Already pre-approved
Change your altitude with an
Attitude of gratitude
So please
Pick up your feet and get you some help
Don't be afraid if you're not adept
The only fear is fear itself
A thousand miles will start with a step

Folks are trying to get through real pain
Fighting all the bull to stay sane
Brothers must ignore the disdain
Sisters need her crown may she reign
But we don't listen
Cause we don't get into family business
Avoid the mending cuz it ain't trendy
So for our mental we grab the champagne
