I’m not talking to my past. Those days have passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m walking as I pass those ways I once had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t dare look or venture into dangerous adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No time, broken watches. No dangerous endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No way, man. I’m onto other things, greater things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brand new mindset flipped upside down. Stranger things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anger seems to have laid down its crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depression and anxiety to the ground. I’m in the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now from a bird’s eye view I view<\/p>\n\n\n\n
life emerging. Healing waters surging. Brand new<\/p>\n\n\n\n
flowers that empower me to stand true<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to who I am, ’cause the marigolds are beautiful, true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Healed up like a model on the runway, size two. (Get it?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyes glued to the future. I think it’d surprise you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to see how I’ve grown emotionally and mentally too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emotions under wrap like a Christmas present for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make no mistake. Pitch perfect, only hit the high notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pitched perfect, no hitter. Picthing all the right throws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know why I’m here. Do I waster time? No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time and moving on it’s only new rhymes, yo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavyweight in the ring. 20 karat in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to have a broken wing, but now like a bee I sting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using my voice to heal the noise and suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broke the voice meter. Watch me as I do my thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call me space cadet. This rhyme is out of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Call me. Place your bets. This time I make this world twirl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do this for myself, my wife, the boys and girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a blessing. I ain’t guessing or messing, just confessing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all my sins and where I’ve been. My mind’s been wandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mind’s been wondering. My mind’s been pondering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But only on the present and the future. Introduce ya<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to me, myself, and I. Our lives I ain’t squandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hands of hope. Hands for help. Take hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you face the day, I’m your marigold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll walk with you and talk you through<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the dark nights, violent storms. I’m with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
