Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I paint visions with my words
I grew up around the pressure, learned my lessons in the dirt
Mind sharp, spirit alert
My day ones tell the truth, they confirm what I’m worth
Every step got weight, every move got cost
One mistake in the dark, that’s a permanent loss
My hunger speaks loud, I don’t sleep, I persist
Heart heavy with the past, keep my faith in my fist
Running from the light, I was raised by the night
Learned the difference between wrong and survival rights
Ego talking reckless, had to quiet that voice
Some roads close fast when you think you got choice
Luxury dreams in my peripheral view
But solitude taught me what’s really true
Had to kill the fantasy, face what I be
Respect every enemy, that’s life to me
Judge me off the surface, you don’t know what’s within
Every fiber burning while the world watching spin
Clout don’t concern me, I’m rooted in sound
I make love to the ears when the beat comes around
[Chorus]
Eternal sunshine, elevate the mind
Soul run deep, turned the pain into rhyme
Took it from the street, put my heart in the beat
I live what I learn, now I teach when I speak
Eternal sunshine, elevate the mind
Soul run deep, turned the pain into rhyme
Took it from the street, put my heart in the beat
I live what I learn, now I teach when I speak
[Verse 2]
Trust fragile, loyalty rare
Too many smiles hide intentions I fear
I’ve seen promises fold, seen truth get bent
Had to cleanse my spirit from the money I spent
Survival been the lesson since my first breath
Every gain came balanced with a little death
When success start rising, envy follow close
Same ones clapping loud be the first to ghost
I stay mindful, move careful with grace
Some people shake hands while they plotting your place
I don’t react fast, I observe and grow
Let karma do work that I don’t need to show
Evolution constant, pressure make diamonds
I been solid through storms, still aligning my timing
If the world turn cold, I don’t freeze, I adapt
Still shining inside where the sun always at
[Chorus]
Eternal sunshine, elevate the mind
Soul run deep, turned the pain into rhyme
Took it from the street, put my heart in the beat
I live what I learn, now I teach when I speak
Eternal sunshine, elevate the mind
Soul run deep, turned the pain into rhyme
Took it from the street, put my heart in the beat
I live what I learn, now I teach when I speak
