Shadowboxing

Ducking, weaving problems

Dodging nonsense on a constant

Conscience heavy time to time

Until I own up and be honest

Leaning on God for guidance

Removing pride, ideas colliding

Motive trifling looking back on it

Learning now I'm not an island

Promise me no shiesty shit

Honestly I might be lit

I been trying to do the nicest shit

Trying to make you like me

And I'm working this same nightly shift

Hoping you'll slide after it

Out of touch with you right now

My conscious focus off adrift

Something violent in my psyche

Said don't let my shadow try me

So I move toward the light

And leave the darkness right behind me

…

I leave the darkness right behind me

All my friends on Lexapro and Zoloft

Bro lost his apartment

So his lore has just been prolonged

Only going to make him more strong

So long to the time of his thoughts

Solely doing more harm

When coming down to lows

He know the code just like his own arm

The hope is strong

The dope is gone

The flow is on

I'm just reloading

Time, it just keep going

Night sky moon is glowing

Reaping what I'm sowing

Dreaming of a morning

Overflowing in some joy and

I been working toward my goals

Seizing what the future holding

Shadows stretching forward

And the light in me is growing

Yesterday is fully over

So the past tense I'm ignoring

God been faithful always

And I'm already knowing

God been faithful always

And I'm already knowing

Won't live afraid

Fighting fear with faith

My God's on-time every time

He's never late

Don't have to see it

Before I give Him thanks

Days been getting harder on me

Made too resilient not to rise again

Ways been changing, starting at least

Wade through waters at my chin

Something violent in my psyche

Said don't let my shadow try me

So I move toward the light

And leave the darkness right behind me

…

I leave the darkness right behind me
