lyrics

(Kid Digit.O)

I never said I'm heaven sent

Benevolent or seraphim a reverend has never blessed me there's plenty better men than just me I guess I

just met destiny and when she said I

was meant to be nothin better

I fucked her head up I said I'm fed up

I'll never let up

and even if I never win I'm leaving as a better man the penitentiary you fence me in could never dead a mans dreams it'll never end you must believe

And it seems that I never been who you think never fit in your measurements I'll never be one of you like theres two of me and

There's a few of me your suit never suited me

My school was truancy news flash ya news caster knew jack his news wasn't new to me its what they want you to see

So they could mold ya to what they want you to be

But you are free

Even if they lock you up you can change who they thought you was You can be who you want because there's no chains that can stop your thoughts there's no cage that can lock us all there's no way we will not be forced to go away the only thang they can do is to stop my pulse and still my words ring thru the

Blocks we fought to find you when you think all is lost


(Hook)

This is my new religion

This is my new religion

A prisoner of ambition

Will anybody listen?

This is my new religion




(Maza)

He's sinking deeper even more,

Amassed a pile of secrets, can't keep them like before

They spilling out, seeping through the floors

parents seeking the cause, ain't seen this coming, they ain't speakin anymore

They sensed a change, they wanna intervene

but can't seem to get close, will things ever be the same

he just wanna get ghost

packed an extra change of clothes in his coat

hit the corner, switch his gear, now he's ready to post

he don't relate to what his dad be talking/ he feels betrayed

feels like everything he says gets washed away

they just look the other way

more concerned with keeping up with what others say

ignored another day, he just slowly suffocates

wraps his bandana tighter

met some dudes that he admired

was inspired, they said

son, we'll walk with you into the fire

we'll be there with you when everyone retreats, repeat we'll there for you when no one else can be

He told him how long waited, told them look nobodies here

He told him how far he searched, looked high looked low nobody cared

He told them bout all the pain he felt but buried deep inside

He looked into his fathers eyes and said

(Hook)


(Voli)

My brain is in the future, my heart is in the moment

I try to put my past in a coffin, can I close it?

Goin back and forth between the limbo that I live in

And the way of life I think will be the window into heaven

Or will it be my prison, solitary confinement

Meditatin, the booth is the monastery, the mind is

Is the only enemy that I have

The paranoia got me losin every friend that ive had

Slave to the dollar in this quarter life crisis, borderline lifeless

Shouldn't even put a donor heart on my license

Ughhh im revived by the beat gimme ten seconds

See me reppin with these bars, bench pressin

Never go out, buried in my obsession

If you relate, well then you've inherited my religion

A lifetime of solitude, I don't need anybody

Big change comin, im savin every penny




(Hook)
