Essence - Vel The Wonder

Im not sure why, it took me so long

To pick up this pen, and write you this song

I knew it wouldn’t be long before you came to visit me, again.

Now I shall fight with my pen.

Its 5 in the morning but he already knew that

So he disables his alarm once 4:42 passed.

Hes been awake for a minute, no place for a gimmick

Just natural motivational living with the space he was given, its.

Easy when its part a necessity, essential before desire

Mighty important and vital

Be the only subjects he touching on before quarter final

Taking writing classes on weekends just to score a high note

And protect his thesis, statement

Believe in all of his achievements, greatness

Is something he cannot seem to conceive its blatant

Ive seen this, break him

He bleeds till, vacant

Yet be so, patient

And more than capable of working under pressure

Taking on more units than any regular student mentions

Its a blessing depression didn’t upset his credits

Juggling between the idea of staying an artist or becoming a medic

Forget it like his ex lady and baby he never had

But its ok as long as its raining he’ll take a bath

And let he water run to his neck

Worries of being educated and holding a check

Required repetitive behavior like he fucking with meth

But somehow kept it drug free

Sometimes consuming some weed but it ain’t nothing

Ima say its fate, his scars are stories of stones thrown

In a glass house yet he doesnt break

The type of shit that destroys a regular man he doesnt suffocate

And when it comes to pain its too numb to explain

Conformably numb, they say people are strange

Rocking your pink floyd tee at the first meet of exchange

Took the metro for our destinations to meet on a plane

I know we crashed but parallel tracks wouldn’t be able to meet anyway

You taught me to be calm and showed me ways to give a fuck

And suddenly all i could feel was love, this shit was real for us

Yet the same questions remains

What do you perceive in this world that you seek?

Is your reason for living a meaning of one that you speak?

And how much education does one really need to thrive

In a ignorant world full of money and greed?

But baby boy, dont let the odds haunt you

Offer your odd conscious

Raw and they all want you

It takes pressure to make a diamond

And with the same pressure

Youre creating your time period without the sake of time in.

Im not sure why, it took me so long

To pick up this pen, and write you this song

I knew it wouldn’t be long before you came to visit me, again.

Now I shall fight with my pen.
