So I got a new perspective
New opportunities
More reflective
Analyzing experiences collective
Cutting off the dead weight
Is the directive
Today I'm just more explicit
In my approach
What's the difference if you fly
First class or coach?
If we all have the same destination
Great expectations
Self evaluations
I don't measure myself
Against another man
If I fail lessons learned
I make another plan
I put it in God's hands
I made another band
All the people in the struggle
They will understand
What's complaining
When you got no solutions
Popular opinions will quell a revolution
In your own mind
When you decide to take action
To change your situation
Inner peace is everlasting
I'm going against the grain
I choosing my peace over the pain
They used to dance for the rain
Cause after the storm comes
Fruits you gain
I'm going against the grain
I choosing my peace over the pain
They used to dance for the rain
Cause after the storm comes
Fruits you gain
I been blessed beyond measure
Gaining understanding
That is life's treasure
Sometime finding purpose
Like finding water in deserts
It takes extra effort
When time applies pressure
In my maturity I am fully activated
I had to take a rest to get recalibrated
The outside is cold
I been getting acclimated
My skin is like gortex
That's how I navigate it
Realize what you seeing is fabricated
Mostly exaggerated
Lies are aggravated
I seen it on the affidavit
Cats be jaded
I separated from the jealous ones
When I made it
Keep my shine understated
When you blind them they hate it
When you feed beast with death
Is how you congratulated
We celebrated martyrs with murals
Back stabbers be working for bureaus
Shame how dirty they would do you
I'm going against the grain
I choosing my peace over the pain
They used to dance for the rain
Cause after the storm comes
Fruits you gain
I'm going against the grain
I choosing my peace over the pain
They used to dance for the rain
Cause after the storm comes
Fruits you gain
