lyrics

Some nights my mind is a prison , whats it take for the world to see my vision


Some days I'm betraying me, holding myself back from what I can be
Gotta visualize it to realize it and now im realizing,
God made me so fucking talented
How can I balance this?
My hands are open but they hold closed fists
They don't want to hear it
they'd rather miss it, dismiss it, so dismissive,
you'd sell your soul if it meant you could live lavish
the realest will realize my sound, so many talented still underground

another jordan is playing in the hood, but he's not in college so the world won't realize hes that good, see this concept I never understood
who doesn't want their music to reach the masses
I want my story to be heard and spread the fastest
and let the world know you can fall head first. I will never quench this thirst.


Running out of time. Some nights my mind is a prison , whats it take for the world to see my vision
I've been trapped in here for days, for days.


They tell me man your shits too abstract I can't handle that,
dont hand me that.
then they say your lyrics put it all into perspective, I respect it,
negligence I wasn't looking for your respect.
in fact I could care less, your a careless critic
it's easier to write an opinion than it is to spit shit.

Your foes will be quick to become your friends,
as soon as your success begins.
Know where your true bonds are and where it ends.
man I've been writing lyrics for years
now its time to share my fears,
my tears , my mission, my vision.
My word is bond as its born,
You may not see it now, but bare witness to how greatness is formed.
