What is It

(Chorus):

I'll make it hard, I'll pretend...

Grace has mended

All that left....

 

Verse:1

What is it that makes somebody turn to this and start reading?

I'm glad you did because writing this was so deep

had my heart triple beating and steadily sped up my breathing.

Memories and emotions dripping red like my brains bleeding.

Started rhyming on the clock, while tapping, drumming, and beating,

then with the snappin... something happened...

It hit hard like I fell through the ceiling.

Heart and soul started teaming with with the 16 bars cheerleading.

Felt like Ray Charles since I was 23en....

I was wandering through the dark too blind to be seein.

Then at 28 something lit a tiny little candle and the wax just started streaming....

 

(Chorus): repeats

 

Verse:2

Two years being sober feels like I've grown years older and bolder,

no more street schemin, no more Scarface dreaming,

the job I have now pay isn't as fat but it comes with pride, respect, and meaning, 

plus I got paid without slamming stealing or slanging the black and white demons.

I'm happy. No longer living days full of fright and uncomfortable nights,

I got these kicks laced up tight!

I'll soon be out of sight 

You let the string slip to this kite.

Because now that tiny candle light with the wax all streaming....

is blazing bright as platinum sunlight

and now Damn Right It's fucking Beaming!

 

(Chorus) repeats then fades out.
