‌haruka nakamura, Substantial - Soar lyrics

Just trying to find peace of mind
Sit back let my seat recline
But it seems like
Somebody wanna piece of mine
At war ‘til the beast resigns
Make things right

I do battle with my art now that I've matured
Fight less the more that I've
Studied the art of war
Spend less paper and I barter more
Move smarter
What’s the point of working harder for
Back in the day we hustled
Until our palms were sore
Daily reminder of them times when
We was kinda poor
Surrounded by my people who were kind before
The success and we’re blessed
With a divine rapport
Thank the lord, for my fam in Baltimore
The DMV, BK & across the shore
Y’all of course, knew that I was born to soar
When they laughed
Now raise a glass after the bottle pours
Omnivore, learned to make green with my beef
Dinosaur with a future who
Refused to go extinct
Connoisseur of tunes not found
In most department stores
Cuz when it’s lost they
Leave my mind restored

Man a brother been through hell and back
Pressure that might bend you but I won’t snap
Tarnished from the disputes my
Armor won't crack
Stronger and I’m mentally intact
And when it’s hard to record
I focus on the moment when
My daughter was born it’s like that

It’s amazing how we can find a way to make it
While some seek the thing you’re
Relying on to take it
Disrespecting your struggle they gotta
Know it’s sacred
Tune to go war with Goliath & you’re David
Doubters looking on like this guy
Ain't got a prayer
Unaware that of the giants you’re a slayer
Now I play the game as if I’m the only player
And knowledge of yourself can
Lighten up the labor

I just focus on my blessings and
The lessons she gave me
Such a powerful weapon when
You’re stressing like crazy
Plus in or out a session I
Got brethren to save me
They’ll come through in a second
So don’t question their bravery
I’ll maneuver these waters like a
Vet from the Navy
MIA for weeks trying to get to my lady
From my slice of heaven let
No fella negate me
Strengthen by it's essence so
I cherish it greatly
Its power are of legend I
Won’t let it escape me
Without it they’ll break me
With it I am amazing
They try to deaden my drive
Rather it dead than alive
Refuse to let them threaten the
Thing that help me survive
I’ll hide in the clouds overheads I reside
That’s my blood
Sweat and tears when it rains from the sky
Working over time trying to bring
These dreams to life
Cause you really ain’t free if you
Don’t have Peace of Mind
