Lord give me the gumption for the miles
Versing through these webs like I'm Miles
Morales fill my chalice with the grinds
Hot brews bring the cool when the sun climbs
Coos from my daughter put some smiles in my runtime
Inundated by life and all it's become
Situations to fight keep me sharp when it's numb
Pen grabbed as I spin past flurries of troubles, gymnast
Flipping through the pages for the wages of my sins past
Seen he paid for it, I'm thankful not deserving
Worship through emergence of new pain
That's just how we do things
I be stalled by the fear
Just wanna be righteous called and revered
That young man died I was appalled by the peers
Humanities plight is getting small by the years
Getting back ain't the goal getting up is
Not for nothing I plan to push it till I'm tucked in
Life ain't fair and it never really has been
I just go with the flow for the action
Tried many things to comply with the traction
Pawn shop dollars for utilities and outfits
Storage for the pouring of my soul being painted
Gold soul dripping that's the jewelry that be ancient
Don't mean old just sold for the patience
Push and I push working hard till the day's end
Donut shop days glaze piling for the glisten
Tryna finish college, short low for tuition
I remember days walking jobs for the journalist
Editorials scripting story for my journaling
Hard times came, don't ignore just apply
For the jobs and the work of my soul to flourish high
Put the blunt back cup back picking up the Bible
Not good lonely I was strengthened from my tribals
Ecclesiastes 7:10 got me measuring
Things different now, nostalgias dangerous sedative
"Where the old days" bring in old ways
Capping ya growth stage and
And setting every trap on the road paved
Choosing where my focus gonna dial
I ain't really had true precision in a while
I ain't really mad cause just living has been wild
To make it through the day is equivalent to miles
And miles and miles
