Look Around - Inverse

Today I just walked by a place that caught my eye

Blood drops, layin' by a stop sign

Saw kids, playin' in the chalk line

Like they were racin' to make up for lost time

I’ve heard there’s no hope left

From old folks, no joke, I show no stress

Can feel it and it’s so close, yet

A slow mo, gotta grow before we go those steps

But we don’t know the recipe

Postponing destiny to study for those tests

Proud cause we got our ethics

And authority’s absurd but it’s not respected

We take no pledge of allegiance

We just questioning preachers and correct all the teachers

Once we get together the pieces

We won’t let up for a second or settle, you better believe it

Hey baby (hey baby)

Can you step on a dream

If I…

Ayo rappers tryin' to shine can’t chill

I grind plan build

I never heard a beat that a rhyme can’t kill

I speak and time stands still

I’m a beast unleashed, if it’s deep I will climb that hill

Find that skill from a weapon in my arsenal

Only way you ever learn a lesson is if you start slow

A dark soul with a resignating sharp flow

Lungs pitch black from the resin in the harsh smoke

Hearts broke from the pain I’ve felt

Been through a lot of shit but became myself

Through it, made music to sustain my health

Only respect that I expected was the same I dealt, yeah

Below budget, gotta borrow to save

Past tense, trying to remember tomorrow, today

So follow the way, we livin' as we walkin' down this lonely road

My homie Toby told me through the pain you only grow

Oh!
