C-Spoke - Lessons Engraved Lyrics

See, young niggas trying to get old
And old niggas trying to get young
I ask Christ to be real to me and reveal himself to me so I can learn more about Him
My deepest fear isn't that I'm inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Just because you deserve this doesn't mean they're gonna give it to you
Sometimes you gotta take what's yours, Coach Carter
I get on my knees and pray cus' I been blessed to breathe today
Now promise that I be the truest stuck inside this game
All these lessons been engraved and I'm just ducking incarceration
Cus this system got it planted make it hard for us to breathe
Long live my brother Blake, he ain't deserve to meet his grave
To see his momma cry, it brought us all so much pain
I remember elementary peewee handing off them plays
And all these lessons been engraved up in this game we play
Yeah, yeah
See I then learned a couple things and all these lessons been engraved
See I then learned a couple things and now I take it to the brain
I then learned a couple things along this path it come with pain
Dishonesty, deceit, I hate this shit is in our veins
Praying up above I'm hoping for to see a change
Praying up above I hope for see these better days
Some days I let it get away it's stunting on my growth
Reflections be the best, we always getting through the most
And all this time is taken by some urges and it's ghost
Where my conscious going promote
To medicate and ease the pain
Let my comfort be in vein
And now I wonder where I be
Sit back and then we fade, wishing for a rainy day
And watch for what you wishing, cus' you get it then we plea, I gotta hustle
And not for me
I got a family counting on me I don't even get to meet, I gotta hustle
And not for me
I got family counting on me I don't even get to see (that's how it be)
You wanna take me out the game, but imma leave for what I came
Here to let my soul speak
I don't fear that we inadequate, not measured up to be
But a chance is what I take and failure creeping closer, peep
And a chance is all it take to be the next up biggest thing
And a change is all it take for you to lose them finer things
Dirty game, dirty game, boy you better not say no name
Couple bullets to the brain for some grams and some change, dirty game
Dirty game who referee, whistle blow that talk is cheap
I been trying find a different path of what this life portrays
Shout out the OG's, that went and paved the way for me
They showed me how this thing could be, I'm blessed eternally
But these demons try to take my joy, and leave me worsening
I don't fear to be inadequate not measured up to be
Sometimes it's getting scary, my potential getting steep
And they told me sign the dotted line, this ownership I pride
I told em I'll be fine, and now we repping SVE
I never sign the dotted line cus' in this ownership I pride
Taught to never fall in line and now we repping SVE
Cus' I'm hoping for hope, seem like life is a joke
Playgrounds for our soul, or where I'm hoping for hope
Now we breathe a dirty game, and all these lessons been engraved
And now we fight like MMA
Now we breathe a dirty game, and all these lessons been engraved
And now we fight like MMA
You wanna take me out the game, but imma leave for what I came
Imma let my soul teach
You wanna take me out the game, but imma leave for what I came
Imma let my soul speak
And now I let my soul speak
And now I let my soul speak (spoke)
