[00:11.34]Normal nature was never meant for us to worship paper
[00:14.34]Hundreds packed in big buildings where still ignore the neighbors while
[00:17.55]Major corporations still extorting us for labor
[00:20.10]And subordinate the poorest class to the lowest wages
[00:22.89]And the rent high, it's hard to cope that why we get high
[00:25.59]Many said bye to their passion cause they had to get by
[00:28.41]Past her prime old lady sweeping floors no retirement
[00:31.50]Can tell her face tired late night the place quiet
[00:34.41]Letting out sigh and just staring outside
[00:36.78]Trying to help her daughter hospital bills is piling high
[00:39.66]No job was diagnosed with lupus with little to no solutions
[00:42.93]Once a breadwinner frustrated she feels like a nuisance
[00:46.02]Her son in middle school on Rockaway in Brownsville
[00:48.60]No parents around to care so u know the hounds will
[00:51.57]He joined a Crip crew he thought it was cool
[00:53.61]Breaking the rules daily threatened to be expelled from the school
[00:56.61]One afternoon the"opps"caught him with his friend wearing blue
[00:59.37]Shots flew, he was pronounced dead at 4:42
[01:02.10]Rest in perfection
[01:03.63]Baby
[01:04.08]Hold on tight
[01:06.48]Its gonna be a bumpy ride
[01:13.41]When times get real
[01:16.32]Just hold on tighter
[01:20.58]Give thanks and praise as you're alive
[01:23.49]Find your blessings with every sunrise
[01:27.63]Everything you seek resides inside You
[01:40.41]Nights sleeping on a bench at the pier passed out
[01:44.64]Mostly stressed when it's hard to see a clear path out
[01:47.46]Tears tapped out, eyes dried up, gotta pick up pieces
[01:50.73]Gotta be a reason behind the journey what's the meaning?
[01:53.88]Give thanks and pray to get out the fish tank
[01:56.31]Take the risk to take a leap of faith and see where it lands
[01:59.07]Switch plans give life the wheel see what it might reveal
[02:01.86]That type of feel like a Cypress Hill song
[02:04.17]Living in these Times is real, mental health is hard to keep
[02:07.08]Signs is hard to read and martyrs find it hard to breath
[02:09.84]Still I was taught to see everything ain't good but good is everywhere
[02:13.50]True survivors are hero's able to face their fears
[02:16.38]Face in the mirror morning affirmations
[02:18.54]Pay attention, I want u to say it with me verbatim:
[02:21.66]"I'm alive, I'm blessed, I'm beautiful, I'm great
[02:24.42]I'm grateful for this body, I'm creative and I'm safe"
[02:27.21]Repeat it till u start to believe it throughout the day
[02:29.73]You'll be amazed how the alchemy inside a you can change
[02:32.70]This the new lane, transition to your final form
[02:35.37]Where life is celebrated, every day from when a child is born your alive
[02:39.63]Baby
[02:40.08]Hold on tight
[02:42.48]Its gonna be a bumpy ride
[02:49.41]When times get real
[02:52.32]Just hold on tighter
[03:02.31]Give thanks and praise as you're alive
[03:27.69]Find your blessings with every sunrise
[03:31.89]Everything you seek resides inside you
