A New Essence: A Different Presence
• Written by ItsTheory
Everyday it's such a twisted life, and I'm stressin',
Mama's bitchin' in the kitchen, makes it more depressin',
and try to talk to my father? Guess I learned my lesson,
thought I was a preacher and a leader, my confession,
is that I used to sit and vibe to rap songs, essence,
was in the air when I heard 'em, they gave me presence,
next thing I had to do was change my whole attitude,
blamin' the world for problems "that's why they're mad at you",
and that's what I would say, I was growin' estranged,
from everybody, my friends, my family, going insane,
used to think I was Superman, flowin' through my veins,
little did I know the path I paved went to the lowest lane,
but how the hell was I supposed to react to memories,
of Mama cursin' because her father drank the Hennessy,
went up through the system, different lives, economies,
from comfortable middle class to damn near poverty,
I've seen it all, I thought that would help me as a lyricist,
or maybe as a person, a lesson learning experience,
instead I got caught up with the conspiracy theorists,
eventually left though I still see 'em through a pyramid,
alter egos, inner conflicts, I was double spirited,
hated both my parents, didn't need their appearances,
but hell, y'all know the story, I was frozen and cold,
with no straight paths, a fork in the road, in my soul,
was a knife, my life was trife with strife, 'till I found it,
this thing called "hip hop" and I was just astounded,
I was purely astonished, and it made me the hardest,
I fought through all my struggles, a wide range of artists,
made me who I am today, and I hope to be a model,
for people to follow, not a hollow man with a bottle,
and even though it's still hard, I'll put the fight aside,
and chill and relax, I think I found the brighter side,
I mighta died without this music, and this new presence,
would never be the same without hip hop's essence
