lyrics

I was born into this world to share men's pain

I clutch the guilt like it's my only child
And that blocklist make it hard to reconcile
Thumbin thru the album money
What's the price of trauma
Yeah we youngins so they talk
Like it's just minor drama
But I know that pain be stickin trust I know it well
Torment from those days in beggary reveal their selves
All them stories bout mistreatment made me wanna slide
Prayin I could be forgiven
Cause I was steady wishin that those niggas died
Was all that rage just compensation cause I'm in they image
Told me be the bigger man and trip bout my deliverance
And I tried to listen
Niggas fightin demons with no ammunition
4 corners closin in and
I'm wonderin what it costs
Foreshadowin the moments that
I coulda lost it all

O what remembrance it has along with illuminations of light

One could observe the light from
Crevasses of horrid infrastructure
Greeted me with second languages
Considered me a brother
Flinched at hospitality, told me to fear not
He could sense the bodily aches and the hate filled rot
The scars upon my knuckles, digestion of toxicity
He offered me a lesson thru perspectives of soliloquy
The hardship, disenfranchised
Like the rest of us
Yet he made a point to tell me
How to make the best of it
Everyone around you seeks the answer within capital
Obvious the stresses have arisen from the lack of it
But nothing's instantaneous
And when you it's just you and the book
Will you prepare yourself to snatch
The chance of havin it
I offer you a path of composure
A path in which you'll never make the matters worse
When it begins to boil over
Foretold a world in which I could trudge thru it all
Before I ever to walked
I had to learn about the Kraal

O what remembrance it has along with illuminations of light

Repeat after me, say
Ashadu an la ilaha illa ullah, wa ashadu anna muhammadan rasul ullah
