Agni the Bum - To Better Places Lyrics

Dear love
Do your best to live your dreams
I hustled like my father did
But Wu (Tang) released CREAM
So I knew the mentality
Duality, actuality
Of keeping you fed
So that you can ascend

It's hard to pray on empty stomachs
It's hard to learn, when forced to rummage
It's hard to sleep when warmth plummets
When your home is a den for strangers
And their vices
You're Always in danger, and always in crisis

War took your parents and brought them here
The struggle is so real
They have white in their hair
And beard young
Bags under his eyes
Because the daily grind weighs on his mind
So dad creates as his overtime

Painting pictures from scriptures I write
Infusing them with the energy
That God will use to give you life
I trouble my wife' ceaselessly
But your mom is strong
And your dad admits when he's gone wrong
Grandparents, Aunties, Uncles
Cousins will rush you
A gem replaced
Like the forehead of Carbuncle

I wait, trying to clear my plate
Awaiting my fate, so we can work towards yours
To better places love
