CunninLynguists - Spark My Soul lyrics

Walking through the April showers
Through the broken glass and
The changing flowers
It seems like the rain is pounding harder
When those who have no way to get out of it
But every face in the crowd
Has burdens that chase and
Been weighing them down
Tryin' to find their place and
How to stay safe
When that place just ain't been allowed
The uncertainty, anger and doubt
Are the violence that makes it
Unsafe in their town
Some deal with the pain that devours
Those that don't stay that straight for power
The only thing that stays the same is change
But we too afraid to break from now
Our parents had their day
But now it's our kids that we
Need to be making proud soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul

As I flip the first page on the calendar year
Be right back with another one
To bang on your ear
Got the hustle and the drive
And the talent is clear
But, see the challenge is to balance
It and manage to steer
Through the potholes and the obstacles
On these moonlit streets where
The cops patrole
Got a little bit of knowledge
But there's lots to know
I was cruising for a minute
But I lost control
Had to ease back, take my foot of the gas
Uncover all the pain that I
Had put in the past
Re-answer all the questions that
I shouldn't have asked
And come to terms with the lessons
That I couldn't have grasped
When I was much younger
Dedication plus hunger
Took us not to the very top, but just under
Now we just trying to break the ceiling
My soul's on fire, can't shake the feeling
You know

Soul let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
I wrote this rhyme while
Watching my daughter sleep
Wishing I knew the peace that she does
It's sorta deep at the same time her great
Grandma is being buried
Some day she'll be burying me, sorta scary
Ordinarily wouldn't really be on my mind
But the fact I made it over 20 is divine
So I welcome every challenge that comes
As experience, wisdom is the sum
So if I sound a little older than I am
It's because this wicked world forced
Me to be a man
Really can't say I wish I was still a teen
Kinda like being trapped in the guillotine
It seems everyone wanted to take my head
Instead of building like brothers
Breakin' bread
And it became therapy to write on the page
Even as youth departs and I'm comin' of age
It sparks my

Soul let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
Let the music be the fuse
That will spark my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul
