Feel like I'm at a stand still in life
it's like everyone wants to be #1 
but I can't please everyone 
I'm back in that prism 
I vacated that prison 
I done my time
paid my debt 
it's no longer a life sentence 
I heard em say when will he listen 
if I let the old diminish 
isn't that me losing a part of myself 
how am I supposed to make a 
full house outta the hand I was a dealt 
too late to fold 
gotta flourish it gotta nourish it 
that concrete rose 
can't turn cold 
I been high but I also 
experienced the lows 
those who are truly honest 
have honestly been exposed 
naked while fully clothed 
isn't that the mission? 
to show em 
you aren't the only who 
gave up a piece of their self 
in this decision 
it was executive, presidential 
signed off on 
official 
it took off like a missile 
but now as I look 
I try to find the propeller 
is it in the hangar 
what propelled it 
it's cold 
out on it's own 
desolate 
but there's always a way
to get back what was lost...
