Moment Of Clarity

Moment Of Clarity
So there I was, washing my face, mirror screamed ugly
Said you ain’t gotta like me but you’ll learn to love me
I am the company that will forever keep you

The only existence that you can’t see through
I am your self esteem which your dreams feed through
The backtracks flashbacks and the previews
The concerns that burn ya firm reviews
And keep you from sleepin at night
Right then I was stuck, stood still, frozen
Tryin to find the f***, but mouth dropped open
Knowin this was all for real, I kept my nerves concealed
As her words would steal my undivided attention
Her voice got a lot softer with each single sentence
She mentioned the lifestyle of a smile
The self portraits and the morbid side profile
The cornered and the docile, she said walk in the slow aisle
And ignore the mobiles but make sure you stay in touch
She said some of us are gonna end up corrupt

With abrupt brush strokes that dry lies, because the truth is harder to sell
And the smarter survive, the harder you strive the more they will run
Be careful not to lose sight on how far you have come
The numb feeling your dealing with, will fade
And it'll make more sense as you continue to age
This hip hop life might seem like a phase
But for you this is it, to remain engraved
The rage will build and the moments will spill
