Iniquity Rhymes Djinn
I realize you've got a lot of questions
And I've got a lot to answer
So what do you say we jump right into it
And I tell you one song at a time?
Let's do it
Where do we start? I've been gone a while
Let me explain, I've had a lot of time to meditate
I've made my peace
Or so I thought 'cause here I am, with pad and pen again
I only used to write when I was lost and feeling weak
So many nights I thought I'd quit this shit, "I'm over it"
Don't need the stress, don't need the pain, I'm done reliving those
But I can't run away, this dream is just a Trance, a phase
I know I owe you everything, My Pain'll help me grow
I see it different now, though I've grown, I'm amongst haters
They'll stab your back, but to your face they're all like, "One favor?"
Truth is, yeah, I was overwhelmed..
I needed a break, for the madness to be over, hell
I needed the chain to be broken, so Red Rover, help
I had to step away, now a contender, so who holds the belt?
Victim to the Vicious Spell, This Time it's me
To be a victor, I really needed help
In Rhymes I Plead (RIP)
[Chorus]
I learn by failure now, in class, I'm life's student, I can't deny I'm one
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
The past is on tombstone but I rise
The vast fuse blown, but who's Home?
Yeah who can advise now?
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
A diamond in the rough
My heart is Djinn, no tonic, therein lies the rub
No parting gift, no homage, where we signed our love
We went from talking every day to resenting all that we were
And I know you hear me now, I know that I'm on your mind
These obstacles in front of you, toss 'em all to the side
Crazy, what I say relates to everything
Is he referring to his music or the love that she brings?
More like the love that she brought, gotta toughen up for these kids
We're not an "us" anymore and I've had enough of this shit
I've given up, I feel torn, inside these cuffs I feel sick
But while the Army is worn, believe it's war on the brink
3 years later they still tell me they're feeling so cold, hopeless
Leave my problems aside, then I tell 'em to Hold Forward
What's common inside, is we're keeping the ball rolling
Let them hear you roar potent
Now proceed, the door's open and..
[Chorus]
I learn by failure now, in class, I'm life's student, I can't deny I'm one
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
The past is on tombstone but I rise
The vast fuse blown, but who's Home?
Yeah who can advise now?
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
I've thrown so many songs away
Wrote everything By Your Side, your presence? It mended stress then
You were my Onyx, my rock, now nothing's the same
Been trying to write this verse since the very day you left, man
I love you more than you know, I'm glad you're resting now in paradise
I know you're here but goodbye to my best friend
If you're listening now, we mustn't give up
I'm Home again, the pain we endure is just a test and..
[Chorus]
I learn by failure now, in class, I'm life's student, I can't deny I'm one
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
The past is on tombstone but I rise
The vast fuse blown, but who's Home?
Yeah who can advise now?
When cold, hopeless, it forces some bold moments
So I ask you, please forgive me for all that I have done
