I Keep my head up even tho I'm still smothered by da earth's grime
"Yea though I walk through da valley of da shadow of death, I'll will fear no evil"
Eye know
Just a little bit of da 23rd Psalm
But for me dat sums it up in one line
Even tho dat whole verse so serious n pertinent for all minds
Rashine was da name given by my birth moms
Even now she n others still see sumptin' special when my pen touch palms
Old to Leader of a New School
Cats still give me dap da way I Bust-A-Rhyme
Even back when I was kickin' raps beatin' on da table at lunch time
Damn!
Wish eye could hit clocks n freeze time
Rewind!
Clear up some past things da present Rashine couldn't foresee wit deez eyes
Cause mista I hear da whispers but da beat goes on
Through poetry, music, n my kids my legacy will forever live on
But right now
Tryin' to not lose my head in da smoke of da bong like cheech n chong
My soul cries out for a peaceful song
While my spirit longs to float on a higher note
I'm special when I write
I recognize my tongue has da power to kill or give life
Either way, when da pad n pencil rub together da fire ignites
It's a beautiful thing to match or surpass what some say you couldn't
Reachin' unparalleled heights
Datz how my sun shines through da darkest of nights
Some commit suicide reluctant to fight
Eye hit back wit words as well as let my actions do da talkin'
Like dead bodies in a morgue
I stay silent often
Misunderstood but choosing my battles carefully
Maybe datz why people stare at me
Eye know da gift I possess is a rarity
Flat out tired but when I have a moment to spare
Every now n then eye open up to share
Showin' da scarz through bars dat I bare
Put my heart on deez pages to shine against da glare
Cause when I do this eye have no cares
No worries
All my imperfections seem to scurry
Ya dig?
Datz how my sun shines when other forces want me buried
