[Verse]
Once a man and twice a child it brings me joy to see him smile
Words of wisdom out his mouth spoken quietly
His spirit glows as far as I can see my eyes can see him resting peacefully
Me and his favorite niece laying hands
Touch him softly and show me who I am I am family I am grateful
Counsel of my closest angels being present isn't shameful
As of late I'm trying to make do trying to find my way through today's gloom
Yesteryear's sorrow in the day room my pain grew
Matriarchal residence my pessimism ain't cool we win and they lose
We swim and they sink my eyes wide shutter n***a don't blink I chase truth I am my own critic
Rings upon my digits miss me with that grimace talk I walk among the vicious
I see out the eye looking down from Mount Olympus intentions ain't malicious
Most of this is out of hands a thousand ran to safety
My faith in the creator of creation peace to those who made me it takes two I'm rain proof
All up in a storm I'm told to stay loose and dilute
What's besides the point we got the same view and different eyes perspectives get ajoined by the bayside
I take time to learn the lessons more and what I say is mine is really not
My pity got the best of me the recipe disastrous my parents made a masterpiece casually
The rest of the story gets told when you get there
That’s a long way to go I hold it in my chest then
If you trying to blossom got to grow and learn a lesson
How the fuck you see yourself is better when you less than
On my departure I say bless fam praying that a check land
Play yourself and get spun we grew up in the badlands
Bad handshakes speak volumes cauldrons
Burning from the ground up the problems worth resolving call them
Teetered on the edge and now I’m all in what’s going on said brother Marvin
I can identify this being still the hardest I put my faith in god cause living life is marvelous
Living life is marvelous
[Hook]
All the ups and downs all the twists and turns
Watch my problems turn around and what I found was worth
All the ups and downs all the twists and turns
Watch my problems turn around and what I found was worse
All the ups and downs all the twists and turns
Watch my problems turn around and what I found was worth
All the ups and downs all the twists and turns
Watch my problems turn around and what I found was worse
What I found was worse
But hurts make you stronger
To hurt make you stronger that’s how you got to learn
That’s how you got to learn
