Along the walk I felt his presence by my side
I be looking at the sky, letting go of what's my why
Know my ticker and its size and what it truly signifies
No surprise what I see arise, take a deep sigh
Cozy with my time, voices from my tribe
Know I hear from them a distance, and I spoke it in existence
Staying all about persistence, likely that you miss it
Couldn't grab me with their claws, thinkin' it was Christmas
Flicking through the camera roll it got me reminiscing
(Got me reminiscing)
Even for those days, I was needing some assistance
(Needing some assistance)
I was walking by the tide, building from my cries
Never talk a lack of effort with those ties that I severed
I was looking for connection, but had to leave the session
Send my love to them, I left a lot with hella questions
So I could take the quest, kid
Find my roots like I'm Questlove
Feel the freedom like a dove
I be grateful I'm their son, know I chose my parents
Birthing love in who I am, nurturing their essence
Two sides of a coin, adolescents couldn't see it
I was spending time bleeding with those thoughts that's repeating
I was thinking I'm defeated, a hole I retreated
Reflected how I'm treated, it was adding to my meaning
Took a while to understand, find my feet where I stand
Grounded steps across the land with some heat to go expand
Stars amongst the sand as I welcome water crashing
No more further planning, I'm just following my mapping
Finding peace that I'm rapping
