Point of No Return

Let the chips fall where they may/
They could rot for all I care I'm not holding on to the decay/
Ion need the memorabilia, that shit get in the way/
I wear the scars everyday/
I'm reminded of the price I pay/
I hope it's not too revealing, I'm so thankful I've been healing/
Ashes to ashes they all fall down/
So many bridges I burned to the ground, when they stabbed at my pride it was shots fired like a 30 round/
They all crawling now/
They come back around/
But my Queen she here to stay/
She amazes me everyday in every way/
Sometimes I forget to pray, in a rush/
I'm embarrassed I'm so caught up/
What the fuck..
yo
[Bridge:]-
Some things'll never change some things'll never be the same/
So much I've gained/
Some things'll never change some things'll never be the same
I fought through the pain/
Some things'll never change some things'll never be the same
I've seen change/
Some things'll never change some things'll never be the same
I ain't leavin' how I came/ (Nah')
I ain't leavin how I came
I ain't...uh, yo..

Change Course

Same destination but I'm changing courses again/
I feel the forces within/
Stop forcing ya pen/
Ashes lost in the wind/
In the end we only left with remembrance, cherish them/
When you see the youth encourage them/
There's hardly any source of nourishment/
It's hard to flourish without courage/
Doubt is like quicksand/
I've been so indecisive/
I don't know what to pick man, damn/
But I know why I'm writing/
Cuz I know why I'm fighting/
Haters on the edge of they seat it's exciting/
To see the Titan navigate through the wild with a smile/
They Ain't nothin' like it..
They Ain't nothin' like it.. (Nah)
[Chorus:]-
Divine Moments I keep to myself/
I speak to myself/
I don't speak for my health/ (Yo)
Repeat 3x

Turning Point
02:20

I got rhymes n life's got riddles/
So many times I risked a lot n got a little/
But I know that's gon change/
I can't lie my positioning feels kinda strange/
But I rather stay in my lane/
Thanks for your offer/
My soul's not a sacrifice that I'm willing to offer/
Too many spirits have been slaughtered/
There's a mirror in the water I saw my reflection/
I saw perfection, it's been a while it's been wild/
The bullshit piled/
I found my inner child n smiled/
It's like a resurrection although he never died/
He's been there all the while/
Ya'll niggas been wearing masks for awhile/
Way before the pandemic ya'll funny style/
Niggas done evolved, from the hate I'm uninvolved/
I leave the bullshit to ya'll/
I got bigger puzzles to solve/
It's been a lot of changes/
It was a lotta gang shit/
I'm no longer on the same page with who I used to hang with/
They on the same shit/
They'll say I left I'm hanging, uh/
But our love was a noose, it was strangling/ (yo')
Uh, it was..

Concrete 2 Tha Jungle
02:25

So many faced with displacement/
Due to gentrification/
Housing discrimination, structural disintegration/
Don't rely on public education/
The government’ll deceive you it’s in they nature/
Do you practice what u preach that’s what matters to me/
Whatever image u perceived just detach it from me/
They placed shackles on our feet, we were beat/
Hosed in the street, we rose from defeat/
Rose to our feet, my ancestors live through me/
Vicariously/
Their pain runs through my veins, my blood runs deep/
You never lived your life in vain if you died to be free/
Thank you I know you fought for me/
Although we never met our spirits bound to meet/
Amongst uncertainty I found peace/
Everywhere I looked around i found grief, until I found me/
Dark forces started to surround me, hound me The God broke free/
I'm neva lookin down G, stay up/
The flow a layup but the bars deep/
Long range 30 feet Steph curry Sheesh/
Chickpea curry feast/
My worries buried my eyes were blurry from the grief/
Things I've seen have left me in disbelief/
I numbed myself to the world with the kush n grabba leaf even hashish/
Ahh Sheesh/ (yo)
[Bridge:]-
From Africa to the concrete/
Both jungles where we eat, but its a different beast/
We all march to the same drum different beat/
To every black man woman and child I spread peace and love/
To every corner every street/
Love 2 Haiti peace 2 all my black people/
In this war against love I attack evil/
Even when unstable we were never feeble/
We could've fought back when attacked we remained peaceful/

Road Less Traveled

Ayy man how you get that/
My nigga manifestations/
I had a plan for you and I, whole time you was hating/
I was creating formulating calculating/
I always knew I was gon make it/
No matter how long it seem like it was taking/
I was nervous I was shaking/
To a winner a lil loss ain't heartbreaking/
Its just an odd placement/
I took my time with the grind n the hustle/
The mind is the muscle, mine been in a tussle/
But I've been staying up-full/
Watching this half glass turn to a fucking cup full/
There's so many layers n dimensions/
Your perspective's based on your perception/
I love my queen so much its good to have someone to trust/
Pressure makes diamonds but it also makes pipes buss/
But they don't make em like us/
Trust
