Lyrics | [Verse 1: $AINT EMPEE] I find light through the darkness in my path, put the hand on the bible, I’m illuminated Asked my pops for some fatherly advice, wanna know what to do to make it He told me that there is no formula, learn from your misbehaviours Even at my lowest, wanna be the greatest Yeah I know what my pain is, I know myself and know my purpose Took a gaze on the mirror, I saw a face that can either deceive me or be a saviour Half-saint, Half-sinner Half-man, Half-amazing just-like NAS felt back in Illmatic Rap is my cure and ill at it I’m 20 years, 9 years rappin’, man, I’vе been at it On my wave, tryna be as great as thе Atlantic I’m – psychopathic, niggas’ pathetic Do anything, niggas’ fame-addicts Always sad, I’m a stress-addict Overthinking everything I’m thinking like it’s mathematics Counting on myself, though I’m bad at it [Bridge] Life is a pulse Understand its Dualities The darkness, the light. The gifts, the curses. The positives, the negative. The beliefs and hopes, the doubts and uncertainties. The successes, the failures. The strengths, the weaknesses [Verse 2: $AINT EMPEE] Ma Air told me, “never show people what your weakness is” That's the code nigga, that's the key Got me thinking what my weakness is Got me searching for the weakest links Got me thinkin’ I should never sleep on myself Remodel my inner self Do it by myself, get to know Self more, find my Self and the path that was tailored for myself I sew this knowledge to my mind; my thoughts are an art I reckon, belief is important for swimming to the other side I gotta show me some love Why I gotta drown in this river because of my doubts? I believe in God, I believe so hard in the music I live and I believe I love I believe in I, believe in my Bloods I believe in loyalty, believe in novelty, believe in stars I grew up believing in Jesus, believed I’ll be in the screens Life is a film, I am making my scenes (sins) Pray for forgiveness and do it again But I go higher and higher and higher. I’m fly as an Eagle; I float in the clouds of the thoughts in my brain Hoping my niggas get further together ‘cause we might be different but still we’re the same You might also likeMy mother told me, she hoping on me If you know the pressure, you know how I feel When I put the effort, it’s deep. I’m not only thinking ‘bout me I live in my mind and sometimes I’m fighting with Self, my notions and shit I believe The struggle is real Sometimes I’m up and sometimes I’m down – these challenging obstacles’ fuckin’ my spirit Sometimes I’m up and sometimes I’m down – these challenging obstacles’ fuckin’ my spirit [Outro] Life is a pulse Sometimes I feel lost in the same place that I, sometimes, find myself in Although I tried to pace my life to my heart’s beat I find myself out of rhythm, out of breath seeking more depth To be alive is to hear your heart beat To be alive is to experience the joys, the tragic, the good, the bad |
