Growing up too fast
A product of these Lost Aves
Underdeveloped emotions
Carrying trauma-filled bags
We made it work
On the struggle bus
Bangers made sure
You stayed alert
Cats caught slipping
Often laid in dirt
For street cred
We exchanged our worth
Catching cases
Navigating a racist system
A split decision
Can get twenty summers
Wasted in prison
I don't know who needs to hear this
Or if anyone's listening
Survival's guilt
I had to learn to cry
Only knew anger
Limited expressions of the mind
I even had to learn to be happy
It's crazy cause I looked fine
But was all tangled up inside
Not dealing is not healing
I had to remove the ceiling
Let the sun in
And begin rebuilding
Tackling false narratives
Images of doubt
And figure out
A way to mean it
When I say I am enough
I know that I'm enough okay
I am enough
I know that I'm enough okay
You are enough
You know that you're enough okay
We are enough
We know that we're enough okay
Oh man
It's amazing how it manifests
Running off a less than mindset
You don't expect the best
You wind up taking what's left
And girls with easy sex
Be the only ones I text
I need to choose a path
Meaning full or meaning less
I never had the best grades
Never caught the best babes
Never scored a touchdown
Shit I rarely even played
But I was nice with words
And making money
Quite superb
And execute a plan precise
It take flight like birds
A vivid imagination too
That brightens worlds
Control the story I tell myself
Yeah that might just work
We deserve abundance
And only get what's summoned
You recognize the Most High
And you is oneness
And so it is
Cause I say it's so
We was made to glow
Made to flow, made to grow
Made for more
I had to take it slow
To awaken my soul
And only then
Was I made to know that
I am enough
I know that I'm enough okay
I am enough
I know that I'm enough okay
You are enough
You know that you're enough okay
My people, we are enough
We know that we're enough
Okay
