Vel The Wonder - Essence lyrics

Im not sure why, it took me so long
To pick up this pen, and write you this song
I knew it wouldn't be long before
You came to visit me, again
Now I shall fight with my pen

Its 5 in the morning but he already knew that
So he disables his alarm once 4: 42 passed
Hes been awake for a minute
No place for a gimmick
Just natural motivational living with the
Space he was given, it's
Easy when it's part a necessity
Essential before desire
Mighty important and vital
Be the only subjects he touching
On before quarter final
Taking writing classes on weekends just
To score a high note
And protect his thesis, statement
Believe in all of his achievements, greatness
Is something he cannot seem
To conceive it's blatant
Ive seen this, break him
He bleeds till, vacant yet be so, patient
And more than capable of
Working under pressure
Taking on more unit's than
Any regular student mentions
Its a blessing depression didn't
Upset his credit's
Juggling between the idea of staying an
Artist or becoming a medic
Forget it like his ex lady
And baby he never had
But it's ok as long as it's
Raining he'll take a bath
And let he water run to his neck
Worries of being educated and holding a check
Required repetitive behavior like he
Fucking with meth
But somehow kept it drug free
Sometimes consuming some weed but
It ain't nothing ima say it's fate
His scars are stories of stones thrown
In a glass house yet he doesnt break
The type of shit that destroys a
Regular man he doesnt suffocate
And when it comes to pain
It's too numb to explain
Conformably numb, they say people are strange
Rocking your pink floyd tee at
The first meet of exchange
Took the metro for our destinations
To meet on a plane
I know we crashed but parallel tracks
Wouldn't be able to meet anyway
You taught me to be calm and showed
Me ways to give a fuck
And suddenly all i could feel was love
This shit was real for us
Yet the same questions remains
What do you perceive in this
World that you seek?
Is your reason for living a meaning
Of one that you speak?
And how much education does one
Really need to thrive
In a ignorant world full of money and greed?
But baby boy, don't let the odds haunt you
Offer your odd conscious
Raw and they all want you
It takes pressure to make a diamond
And with the same pressure
Youre creating your time period without
The sake of time in

Im not sure why, it took me so long
To pick up this pen, and write you this song
I knew it wouldn't be long before
You came to visit me, again
Now I shall fight with my pen
Im not sure why, it took me so long
To pick up this pen, and write you this song
I knew it wouldn't be long before
You came to visit me, again
Now I shall fight with my pen
