Modern alternative-rap featuring Toronto-starlet Andrea Ramolo on the chorus.
lyrics
Verse 1:
If I believe that I can see, it’s like I’m flying free.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the man that I’d like to be,
I’m trying to breathe and release the stress inside of me,
And vibe to these hip hop elements like it’s 93,
…. And whether or not the truth that I bring is definite,
I’m trying rep myself in ways that remain relevant,
Eloquent - words hit the page with mastery,
and maybe one day the same words will feed my family,
…. Moving beyond vanity into a lifestyle,
Within the moment man, we living it right now,
White clouds with the falcons spinning heavenly,
and memories of elements inside of me I’ll never be,
So let it breathe - as I said before, let it pour,
images and metaphors follow as I head towards -
the future on a path less travelled,
with time on my side I can watch it unravel…
Chorus:
Step forward from the past,
Mistakes won't be your last,
Sunrise the magic's cast,
the flowers blooming, that warm feeling
that, the future is on one path,
so step forward don't look back,
the tides change like grains of sand,
falling as times running out,
Flowers blooming that warm feeling that...
Sand falling as time's running out.
Verse 2:
Rap music to me always felt like a calling,
I was never afraid when it came to going all in,
And when it felt like I was falling then I let it show,
to keep the truth inside of me while moving at steady flow,
….Most will never know the half of what I’ve been through…
And for those that I’ve lost… well I have to say miss you…
I’m just looking for a moment made of unity,
and new connection found from the embrace of my community,
the truth can lead to anything, so let me sing,
like ancient poets, who fly with many wings,
…Let’s call it off and try to life beyond a label….
… Or at least stake a claim as a fallen angel….
The longer I fall, the closer that I get to God,
Blessings to my people who keep pressing on….
towards the future on the path less travelled,
and with time on our side we can watch it unravel…
