As a rapper, I'm a voice of my people
Penetrate like the point of.a needle, conversations sacred
Elevation is the food that I feed you
Speak into color, words paint like a canvas on easel
I'm taking time to make it vivid when I do spit it
Because the mind thinks in images
Verbal descriptions tell a story
The foreground be the wars that we
Fight in our soul, and with the light, I expose
That there is hope, so be strong and journey on
The dark of the night makes for a brighter dawn
The greater the hardship, the greater the victory
I never self picture me and misery
Exclusivity with the finer things, maintain a higher gaze
Being mindful of where my mind stays
They say you become what you think, so my thoughts is profound
Spread love around with my voice through the sound, ya'll hear me now?
Fulfillment or frustration decided in the present tense
Learn yourself, love yourself, that's where the difference is
Picture this, purpose and productivity
Passion and positivity more than a possibility
The rhythm in which you seek sincerely is yours
And when life knocks you down, always remember your cause
Your motivation has to be greater than what you're facing
Trial and tribulation can end in purification as well as advantage
Plant your goals and make them manifest
The person who stands at the top is also a self analyst
Meaning that they apply reason to their actions
And take time to pick out for themselves the proper habits
I have no lack of confidence in my abilities
The Life Giving MC is who I choose to be
I write my own destiny, presently stepping in correct directions
Because that's what I seek and I know that it's seeking me

Time Doesn't Heal

[Hook]
They say time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
[Blessings Divine]
People say things have changed, but they ain't
How they treat us today is still as slaves
Still as property, treat Blacks like a game of monopoly
Take a stand like Diddy and Cannon, they demand an apology
If we were free, why can't we talk like it?
They call us niggers and monkeys, no one goes and tells them to be quiet
Even with Covid-19 plaguing our society
I still see the hate in their eyes for me
They say time's supposed to heal it, but we still feel it
The pain of them killing Black men, women and children
Feel the filth that they think of us, time can't erase it
Centuries have gone by and we're still in the same places
Same relationship, Black slave and White master
White Jesus, White minds inside the Black masses
Similar to scripture, picture the rich man and Lazarus
Truth is, we're a stolen people and they're the ones that captured us
[Hook]
They say time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing

[Sarah Rose]
We all feel lonely sometimes
We look to the sky
I know I'm not the only one, the only one
To feel the weight of life
[Blessings Divine]
Put your hand on your heart, that's purpose
Remember that for certain you are a treasure
Better still than mounds of gold
All the diamonds in the world can't add up to match the value of your soul
The whole thing is self love
The ability to lift yourself up and not beat yourself up
We all have hard times, but trials purify
Help you grow into who you need to be to live your life
Yeah, sometimes it's tricky
But if I have faith myself, my strength will stick with me
Finding better ways to keep giving
Compassion is key, that's what it be, give joy to others happily
But it all stems from how I see me
Forgiving myself for old things
But it all stems from how I see me
Moving on from who I used to be
[Sarah Rose]
We all feel lonely sometimes
But my love for me reaches the sky
I'm so glad I'm not the only one, the only one
To feel the joy of life
[Blessings Divine]
Seeing the things that grow beneath the cement
Maybe life itself can be a reason
Seeing the things that grow beneath the cement
I know that life itself can be a reason
To keep going

This life we're living, we gotta do better
Take the time to get ourselves together
Sever from the negative, put more power in our perspective
Addressing from within, our intentions
Question your comfort, often best just to observe
The things that you run to when you run from
What makes you unnerved and undone
And the things you give your time to when you're not being mindful
What you conquer is what defines you
Either a master or a slave to a habit that confines you
Most unaware of the lines we drew
Saying that we can't get past this point and don't even try to
Life is on the other side
Rise to the challenge, cuz in truth, we were meant to fly

Spirit Of The Thing

We're a long way from the path
Just look at all the aftermath that's on the ave
Something just don't add
There's something basic about life we gotta have
Cuz no, everything ain't alright, I hate to nag
But we too distracted, don't fall back to sleep
You know her cousin
You know she catch us when we buggin'
You know most of us callus, don't care about injustice
You know half of these dudes be frontin'
Cuz so long as they got a home that's outside the danger zone
Times can get real and days can get cold
But so long as their norm is toasty warm, they straight
Mad food on their dinner plate
Attitude: it sucks to be you
Social justice ain't a hobby you can sometimes do
Someone got shot in my building
I tried to save him, couldn't heal him
His blood on me, I steel feel it
I still hear the cries of all our babies at night
So much pain, thank God for keeping it on my brain
And so I maintain, always focused
Lames want back to normal
But normal for us means, more glocks that squeeze
Dropped by police, homelessness, poverty
How many Blacks you know own property?
Just some perspective, cuz most would rather not address it
No sports on TV make them more upset than
Loss of life, loss of hope
No insight, spiritual eye closed
Forced into a life of survival
The concrete jungle, big questions most ain't got time for
It's the spirit of the thing
I spit it so we can take wing
Live lives a bit more clean
A bit more light in the dark of which we can steer towards
I got mine, I'm here to help you get yours
Life gets better with a simple choice
The lesser ways we need to abort
You need to understand that you're
Greater than outside circumstance
The beauty of who you are truly
Listen to my words as they flow through me

Fly With Me

Never compromise, keep your eyes
Pointed in the direction of the sky, I will rise
Forever wise, that is knowledge applied
For me to give up on rap is suicide cuz I'm too live
To ever put my mic down and pipe down
It's nice how my rhymes equivalent to the illest fighting style
They say ush when I take a bow, the scholars in the crowd cuz they know
I give them something raw to think about
Deeper philosophies and how to part the seas
With the atom spark, when it comes to knowledge, no monopoly
I spread it, yo that's the butter on the bread
My rhyme aesthetic so magnetic, it even captivates the critics
The lion roar similar to the MinisterI lay it down heavy with diligenceFive pillars uplifting my style, what you feeling is
The testimony of a young King, who is only concerned with the realness
The vibe raising from rhyme saying and high statements
Blessings Divine be in the sky waiting
I verbalize, cause higher thinking
It's mathematics, the frequencies packed into my rhyme pads, my lines blast
My pen is like high fahrenheit when it hits
My microphone is the sun that clears even the darkest mist
Yo, you know Bang Bless magnanimous he flows
Light travels across the globe to permeate and raise your wits
The life giver, uplifter and hardest hitter
Some might even figure that Blessing's a flawless spitter
Broader than the sword I swing, like Garvey with the message
Particles of intelligence form the light of which I step in
My words expand like the galaxies, I'm higher than the seven seas
Deeper than the roots of all the tallest trees
The wisest thoughts, I offer these
I'm a product of the Messenger of God and how phenomenal is he
