…an angel with a dirty face
I'm burning sage like settlements in an early age
Just to clear my mind like solitary for thirty days
'Cus when…
…ain't a scaredy cat
I try to ease my mind but I'm so caught up
No sleep what's keepin' me woke is this snow product
Mo' bottles…
…like Obama
Oh momma I'm so sorry I drove outta control remember one time my brother said bro you gotta just
[Chorus]
Ease you're…

…the essence
So in my absence you feel the presence, exactly
I make contact, for short, I MC
Me and mine we don't just get…
…a fo' five
Claimed I was ready to die, promised never to cry
Held it all inside, reality was too much to take, so I
Kept my mind fried…
…a system that never listened to me?
Picture me workin' Mc
Donald's! I'd rather pull a MAC on you
Sorry, Ms. Jackson, but…

…right I never looked the part but I never doubted for a minute cause Hip-Hop was in my heart and my whole heart was in it Hip Hop it was the love of my…
Sitting in the back of class listening hard to whatever played cause I learned more from the words that I heard…
…the corridors and set the cyphers up and at first I was mad shy but then hip hop help me find my guts and the verses I'd write and my room came to life in clubs
I…

…the top, from the jeep
From the gut, from the street
From my soul to the mic to the essence
Say in my absence you feel the presence, exactly…
Reality was too much to take so I
Kept my mind fry
Slimmed for most of mine
Soon as I closed my eyes
Then I woke up behind
Nigga…

Feelin my highs and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
But I been thinkin I…

From the top, from the jeep
From the gutter, from the street
From my soul to the mic to the essence
So in my absence you feel…

In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
But I been thinkin I got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to…
Feelin brand new, I jumped up
Feelin my highs and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking and stop drinkin
But I been…
