Strive

Drizzle (Strive) I strive through adversity Struggle through the battle of streotypes and race Pride and Prejudice the two things i hate Searching for the love simply found in the warmth of a familiar embrace Now at the fork in the road both paths i decide to take I sacrifice it all on the altar for it all to take shape Im a real man not by your standards but by the ones i chose I'm not oppressed by the man but there is still one man that i chose to follow His name is Christ and he continues to build my life Life aint a game so theres a reset Yet people try to play me like a game of chess Never been a pawn i started out a knight the Queens best The Essence of me locked with in my chest Still i fight the demons the that lie deep inside Truth held deep within my eyes so i see the devil and kno he's a lie My body my temple place were crohns made a home The greatest disguise of all my pain hidden behind my face But till death i will strive to make sure i survive So in the words of Maya Angelo STILL I RISE Legend is my destination and rising to the occation is what my soul controls
