FOG Video (MV)

God told me if it's heavy on my heart then let it go
Always tell my fam I love them thinking I should let them know
Just so when I reach the top I always remember the floor
Even when I'm at the bottom I remember Hell below
Well at least that's what I'm told, at least that's what I believe
People dead at 21, Jesus died at 33
Who am I to sit and grieve? Who am I to wimp and weep?
When a mother miss her son, and a father miss his niece
When a cousin miss a brother, when a friend miss a friend
Who am I to pick a side, when I'm really looking in
From the outside box, he got down time locked
Up, in a prison cell ain't been outside once
Now he can't see his child, now he can't raise his kid
And the lawyers take the rest, while he's laying in the bed
Made of metal on a cot, why it's raining heavy tears?
He been missing birthdays, he been waiting to appear
To the judge, saying "Judge
And I mean it so sincerely
I'm not the only one that's coming here so know me clearly
I'm trapped inside this box and now my teeny brother need me
On the outside, I'm losing all the dear and closest near me
Remember I'm a human first, know me for my human worth
This my life or death but yeah I know for you it's you at work"
Knocking on her gavel it's the battle with the plaintiff
Murders happen constantly they're laughing while I'm praying
Another kid I went to middle school with, lying in a hearse
Know his momma didn't see this for him, smiling at his birth
Know his pastor didn't see this for him, choir in the church
Sing about him so his spirit's never dying in a verse
But no
I understand your frustration and paranoia
But this can happen from Turner Station up to Sequoia
The people in their houses been waiting, think it's annoying
But the government is watching the places we've been avoiding
I'm tired of seeing friends I grew up with, on Murder Ink
Baltimore, the Instagram page, pass it through word or link
Thinking of the khaki pants and blue tops
Dress shoes, maroon ties
"Justice Under God" but it was too hot
Back when only blood from our arms, came from a flu shot
Back when they were bumping Lor Scoota, he was the new guy
Back when Cole had dropped False Prophets, knowing his idol lies (idolize)
Deep within his emotions, what a forgotten time
But back then, I had something happen to change youth
See two days after graduating that same school
I was outside my Aunt's, in Grade 8 dude
I saw somebody had cocked it and tried to aim, "BOOM"
4 shots ring, now I'm ducking off and running
I was playing soccer tag, with my brother and my cousin
But we saw the block was hot, yeah we heard the bullets bussin'
Hit my head when running in, keep my life for a concussion
It's seeming like they're keeping a piece, to go to war
While disintegrating the peace, that's in the home
If I had a lever to stop it all, I would pull it too
Why are all these tough conversations, never been bulletproof?
It's been a lot of loss on all sides dog
It's gon' take more, than a song to write all my wrongs
But understand I'm far from perfect, knowing that my flaws are working
To make me to a better man, Lord knows for certain

Keep guiding me
Keep guiding me
Why I always keep God with me
Keep guiding me
Keep guiding me
This just a long game of hide and seek
Keep guiding me
Keep guiding me
Why I always keep God with me
Keep guiding me
Keep guiding me
We just gotta give it time and see
