lyrics

on the eve of a new year
shifting into new gears
clear with a new lens
i lost enough friends
blessed to reconnect
with real ones
from decades gone
something brand new
that feels like an old song
i remember
being in parts, dismembered
heart healing in december
darkest part of winter
shining with all my might
just to have a little light
as long as i know i gave it all i had
i will be alright
no matter how this lands
you can't measure impact from the eye of a storm
and that center of chaos is where i was born
those drug wars that forced Hip Hop to form
so sharp and cutting
real life your bumping
we didn't come from nothing
what we had got stole
and we're still running
underneath a sniper's scope
we all know
so folks find ways to cope
and i keep on losing my people to coke
crack crystal balls
watching futures fall
i can't catch em all
or any
my advice gets drowned out with the henny

i don't know what else to say
we just take it... day by day
take what you afraid of
and stare it in the face
call it by it's name
and watch it change
i don't know what else to say
we just take it.... day by day
how you do anything is how you do everything
maybe we should start with the little things

i told my little cousin
smoke herb... don't drink
he was in high school already experimenting
i never had enough influence to sway him
away from the bottle
life is full throttle
he still got time tho
i'm learning to let go
of my expectations of the best and worst
alcohol still triggers my deepest hurts
i've lost friends to crack... but they were drinking first
i fell out of love with a woman i adored
when she was at the bar, i was easy to ignore
have you ever loved someone
looked deep in their eyes
and knew everything that they said was a lie
while knowing exactly what they were trying to hide
i wasn't judging
so i couldn't see why
we couldn't even have a real talk at the time
and i'm not trying to diagnose anybody now
as the empire crumbles we're all falling down
i write songs
when it's hard to reach out
hoping that somebody feels me
because where i'm at it's like nobody hears me

i don't know what else to say
we just take it... day by day
take what you afraid of
and stare it in the face
call it by it's name
and watch it change
i don't know what else to say
we just take it.... day by day
how you do anything is how you do everything
maybe we should start with the little things
