Marley - Prove It Lyrics

Imagine I, let the hate occupy my mind
Or gave up on myself cus they hate it when I shine
Or let it keep me cold it's too easy bein ice
Abandon who I am just cus they don't understand
Rather not, rather be myself cus I'm a boss
Rather ride alone if you secretly a opp
Rather move in love cus that pride is very telling
Homie you in pain don't be mad cus I ain't failin
Matter fact, they don't know the work to stay intact
They don't know them days and them nights seein black
When I was losin faith I don't know where you was at
But if it went a different way, wouldn't become who I am, so I'm straight
Thankful for the journey everyday
Thankful for the succas cus I learn from your mistakes
Thankful when I'm humble cus this ego's heavyweight
Many many Leo's in my life that explains, in my veins
Royalty is part of how I'm raised
Tried to be perfection but I'm too stuck in my ways
Try not to be reckless always been in me to sway
Tryna spread a message but my energy today, is on some shit
Surrendered I guess this is what it is
Prayed to be my highest and it pushed me into this
Swear it feel like true alignment when I'm true to who I is
No illusion and no gimmick only trusting inner wiz
That's some wisdom from the kid
Many many of it had to hold it to exist
Cus out here shit is rugged gotta master how you spit
To tap the whole collective simultaneous is a gift
That's the goal, as long as I'm alive I got a role
We all got assignments pick your head up off the floor
I swear you got a reason and we need you here to do it
I swear you got a purpose and I do this just to prove it
Na I ain't even tryna preach
But what good is your mind if you scared for them to see
What good is a lesson if you scared to share defeat
What good is the love if you'd rather not be seen
Think I know, everyone afraid to keep it raw
Honest conversation only showin you the top
Peel back every layer everyone a lil soft
When I told em keep it player didn't clarify, my fault
Here it go, in this life it's ego and it's soul
Cultivated habits for a balance on this rope
Stickin to my morals and I'm stickin to my code
Stickin to my purpose and I'm stickin to my soul
Cus the truth, who we are ain't goin anywhere
Ain't gotta teach us bad you ain't gotta teach us fair
A constant tug o' war is innate to be clear
But choosing what you feed is what grows so beware
That's some wisdom from the kid
Many many of it had to hold it to exist
Cus out here shit is rugged gotta master how you spit
To tap the whole collective simultaneous is a gift
That's the goal, as long as I'm alive I got a role
We all got assignments pick your head up off the floor
I swear you got a reason and we need you here to do it
I swear you got a purpose and I do this just to prove it
