It felt like I was getting flanked from all sides

Was going out on my shield Years of fighting took their toll on me All that time that I had wasted with the hurt that I concealed I’m just glad that **** ain’t broken me

Been there in them trenches, but nowadays I just fly Was an overload of my senses, only darker hues in my sky Don’t expect the days to be painless mate, illuminate your own light Resilience is empirical, I felt the heat in this ride

Now I know that hindsight is fruitful,Tryna remain on my path and I don’t wanna play the games that aren’t usefulPlanning my time it’s so crucialI see the world a lot clearer now never graduate still a pupilAnd that’s a lost art in humans, so the end result is so brutalSo brutal in these mad times so nuff man ah gone cuckoo

Focused on these numbers like I’s playing Sudoku

Then I stepped back and I realised all that focus is not fruitful

So I focused on my feelings and was came out was truthful

I ain’t chasing papers and my yute he keeps me youthful

I don’t seek acceptance, I don’t need no ones approval,

It’s only love & light in life that I respond to

So you bring a darker energy, instant removalIt felt like I was getting flanked from all sides

Was going out on my shield Years of fighting took their toll on me All that time that I had wasted with the hurt that I concealed I’m just glad that **** ain’t broken meTime wasted, but time is ticking so time to face it

This year was beneficial had me going back to basics

I’ve reconnected with myself feel like a kid again

In love with music sharpened up the pen, I’m that glitch in the matrix

And I feel I’ve learnt so much but I’m down for more learning

They couldn’t break me at my lowest kept the fire burning

Know what’s important going forward not the dough I’m earning

I’ve felt the pain, I see the change and now the tide is turningYeah the tide is turning every human being’s deservingThe trenches made a man of me I’m blessed to be emergingColder than the Artic plains the time in there was disconcerting And I’d explain it but it’s actually hard to find the wording

It’s like a constant stream of loss where self-esteem is skewed And your perception of your worth develops into something crude No interlude was in the final scene when I made a move And I’m sorry for the time it took but let us pass this on to you

It felt like I was getting flanked from all sides

Was going out on my shield Years of fighting took their toll on me All that time that I had wasted with the hurt that I concealed I’m just glad that **** ain’t broken me
