I've been trying to find myself Has anybody seen me Cause I've been looking everywhere I'm nowhere to be found Has anybody seen me If you see me Tell him come home And I'll hold it down I hit my bro on the phone like bruh let's get it Let's step out like they haven't seen us in a minute Speaking of minutes let them know it's our time I'm an artist only right I put it all on the line man Don't give advice about nothing if you ain't did it I've seen money make the best intentions turn wicked But it's not about how you start it's how you finish Lucky me I keep a flow I already feel replenished ha Swear this music is my fountain of youth Piling question over question That's my mountain of truth And I will climb to the top of that bitch like Mount Everest Or Appalachian Love's my map and destination Taught patience But you can't accomplish nothing waiting Working on a buzz like I suck at operation Moving tracks through the city like the Marta station Trying to make a life connection Like your girl is ovulating I tend to hear man you ain't blew up yet It just wasn't my time I guess Your rapper friend is probably nice at best I turn a booth into a shrine I bless Find inner peace with every line I stretch Yogi flow, yogi flow I must be off the goose All my ducks are in a row Waiting at my show A couple minutes until I go Let me say a prayer Cause I know I'm about to bear my soul like I've got a lot on my mind Lend me your ear please Let me speak my peace My peace See it ain't easy No Believe me But I'm winning anyway I'm winning anyway Snapped out of it like bro I'm ready Let's kill these niggas And pray for God to heal them It's funny when a man's untouchable You got to feel him If beauty's seen from the inside You're not appealing That ain't all that you're concealing Maybe I'm just in my feelings Use a vice to numb it Spending out of my budget Reach a height then plummet But can't nobody tell You act so nice in public Feeding off this Ain't much more that I can stomach The media feeds the idiocy Because they got to get the story out immediately So you're either uninformed or your misinformed A lot of smoke and mirrors Don't need a magician for them Found myself bluer than a post with a pound So I think it's time to log off Put the phone down Because I need some peace and quiet right now I need some peace and quiet right Life moves fast That's why you got to slow it down Let me see you put your hands in the sky right now And reach for something better Until it all falls down Cause nothing last forever Nothing last forever

I see God as I stare into the eyes of a child The precious little girls None of them gone wild Boys love Smokey the bear not smoking black and milds The type of joy you see in a baby’s first first smile My thoughts as wobbly as a baby’s first steps That unconditional love before we ever met Before we communicated through these social outlets You were learning your first words too young for regrets Doing everything for the very first time In awe at the clouds kissed by the sunshine Can only imagine the thoughts running through your mind Touch your teeny tiny hands as you’re putting them in mine You truly are a blessing A living breathing miracle Even baby Jesus made a wise man spiritual Ignorance is bliss But wisdom is the key Pray you get more from your mama than you get from me Cause I mad a lot of Lot of mistakes in my life As I look at you I know that did one thing right You’re better than any song I’ll make in my life And until you raise your own Know I’ll continue to fight for your innocence Cause in a sense We already know it all like an inner sense But then the world changes us Like we do dollars into sense So I’ll make sure to teach you you’re worth while you’re young But for now have fun with your innocence But for now have fun with your innocence yeah Would you Would you now have fun with your innocence You lose it while you're young But for now have fun with your innocence yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah One time for you One time for you One time for you One time Ignorance is bliss Wisdom is the key Innocence is the best of both to me I'll protect your mind and body So that you can run free Yeah Juran Ratchford on the beat by the way

I follow the signs yeah It’s there all the time To find peace of mind yeah Then the world can be mine I’m one of a kind No shame but sometimes I have to remind myself Have to lose just to find myself Can’t dumb it down cause I think a lot Problems wish I didn’t have to think about The mind of an artist that’s introspective The good and the bad think it’s all connected The signs are there you just gotta see them Picture clear as in a mausoleum See myself in my parents I came from And never forget where I came from I could have been stuck in the streets Instead I get to flex over beats Book something and fill up the seats Hope this microphone don’t over heat Yeah I could sell wool to some sheep Yeah I could sell cool to the heat Yeah I don’t need no one but me Nah I don’t need no one but me Ok that’s a lie I need my girl and my guys Irony every misfortune that I had in my life Turned out a blessing in disguise Yeah Didn’t have everything growing up But can’t say that I was deprived Life is a wild journey Prayed and God heard me And he told me to follow the signs Follow me Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah This ain’t a This ain’t a This ain’t a test Don’t waste my time I invest If you bring it bring your best If not you better bring a vest Mom and Dad broke up when I was eleven A part of me died when grandpa went to heaven This caused so much pain could lived on excedrin But something got planted without no detection Mom knew I’d need some protection So started to hang with big cuz Lance & Devin They both encouraged me to use my aggression And put it in song now my word is my weapon If I’m honest and I do some reflecting I see my biggest pain was my biggest blessing I found God and my passion I’m best in This life gives you signs when you need the direction Just follow Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me Follow me I follow the signs Follow me Follow me yeah I follow the I follow the signs Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah Follow me yeah

I was reading back over this song Rehearsing it and got emotional It almost brought tears to my eyes You know when you got a song that's uncomfortable for you to hear That it's something that you should definitely let be heard So here we go I just had a breakdown today man snot bubbles and all Too many sad nights with nobody to call At least no one biased unexperienced or judging me I wouldn’t take advice from most of you niggaz honestly I know I need therapy but can’t afford it But still buying shit like mental health ain’t important I show a lot of love but does anybody care Took a head count of those who do and saw you wasn’t there Thought I had it figured out but see I’m failing miserably What really is my purpose That’s my greatest mystery Searching for an answer from affirmations and ministry Don’t know if God’s hard of hearing Or just hardly here for me Failing in my marriage All my wife wants to do is be a parent But we can’t afford another mouth to feed So we never plant a seed and I really can’t I bare it Feel all of this But I never share it So I suffer in Silence Don’t want to act out or resort to violence So I suffer in silence If I did tell you you would probably think I’m childish So I suffer in silence I know you’re hurting too so it’s probably best to hide it So I suffer in silence Do you suffer in silence I know Know that you want to tell somebody I know Know that you want to tell somebody I know Know that you want to tell somebody Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go I had my first emotional breakdown recently It's different when you're sad because something really bad happened You immediately react But when you're letting things build and build And then you just breakdown That's how it felt for me I don’t tell nobody cause I don’t want you to judge Or cause I feel like no one really cares about us I don’t tell you cause you won’t look at me same I don’t tell you cause I am the only one to blame I don’t tell you cause it stirs up too much pain Or cause if I do I know that everything would change If I tell you I don’t really think that it would help I don’t tell you cause I barely even tell myself Could come up with a million reasons why I keep it bottled in Constantly comparing to the people that I’m following Thinking about tomorrow and none of it’s looking promising Sick of living if it could my spirit would be vomiting Therapy within my community’s abnormal Plus I don’t want nobody thinking I’m not normal Clearly there’s a lot that even hurts to think about Maybe it’d be better if I talk it out Instead of suffer in silence Don’t want to act out or resort to violence So I suffer in silence If I did tell you you would probably think I’m childish So I suffer in silence I know you’re hurting too so it’s probably best to hide it So I suffer in silence Do you suffer in silence I know Know that you want to tell somebody I know Know that you want to tell somebody I know Know that you want to tell somebody Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go I know it's super easy to just hold it all in Don't tell nobody And try to figure it out yourself But my uncle told me We're not meant to be islands on this earth And we're all connected And it's good to confide in somebody So tell somebody

They clipped my wings Told me flying was dangerous Made me scared of heights so I avoided high places Birds fly people don'tDon't stare straight into the sky The sun will blind your eyes the way it burns your skin Keep your eyes on your work you don't belong up there  You belong on the earth they told me Stories of Icarus and his wax wings  So I'd think they clipped mine to protect me  Told me I would fall if I tried to fly But there was something about the sky  Something that called me to it's burning, burning in my chest  This longing in the brown of my skin Tingling just beneath the surface making my hair stand on edge They told me it was unruly Straightened it so it wouldn't respond to the sun's calling But sometimes when I stretched in the morning I felt my wings itched Like one day maybe my people could fly once Like maybe my people could fly if They tripped off the edge of a cliff and instincts took over I hopped a fence felt like flying Stood on the roof did a backflip off the edge felt like flying Like living I got as close as I could to a ledge once but the stopped me  Medicated my quote suicidal tendencies Told me wanting to get high was my way of trying to avoid the realities of my life  But the reality is, walking doesn't feel complete to me  If you have to ask who's the realest then it ain't you Should have been a plumber all the shit I made it through HI got a couple homies I know could have made it too I don't act self-righteous I know I'm the same as you Pressures of the world had me plotting on suicide Don't want to look weak to my girl so I don't confide And really let her see all the pain I feel inside Instead I duck and hide What kind of man am I They tell you fake it til you make it  But what's the point of that You say you're changing the game, but where's the coin for that  You're talking murder like it cool, but ain't no coming back We're already a target for being young and black I hit up Karl and Gregg like get the camera, I got some new heat I want to drop And when I hit the stage that night bet I nail it without the hammer And that was just a good Thursday up in Atlanta I wonder what's next for me  If I didn't have it yet it wasn't best for me I hear I love you Jay cause you tell the best stories Take me to another place and yet still floor me  But I just want to fly away  Fly away, fly away, fly away yeah I just want fly away, fly away  I just want to fly away, fly away, fly away yeah  I just want fly away, fly away  Fly away  And you don't stop 1, 2 y'all and you don't stop  The LxVE crew y'all, and you don't stop It's A.J. and Jimmy Jones  Said I was brought up through the rocky trenches Right And I done seen some things I ain't impressed with Right And I got homies with some bad intentions I hope and pray they change their way of thinking  Could you speak positive to your lost brother  Or would you kick him down just to tell another  If your son got killed would you let him die  Or tell the young voices keep the hope alive Now fly your high to the highest type  And bless the ground when you had to fight And shed blood just to keep the cool  Distant from you and your sickening rules We come together yes  We come together ayy We come together ayy U.N.I.T.Y together you and I  U.N.I.T.Y together you and I  U.N.I.T.Y together you and I  U.N.I.T.Y together you and I  U.N.I.T.Y together you and I  U.N.I.T.Y  Storm came She stood in the rain But the wind did not blow her away  Storm came She stood in the rain But the wind did not blow her away  Storm came She stood in the rain But the wind did not blow her away  Storm came She stood in the rain But the wind did not blow her away  Storm came She stood in the rain, and the wind did not blow her away  U.N.I.T.Y

about
