(Verse #1) If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the mouth is the door/ Where the pieces exit freely way beyond your control/ And they're not yours anymore. Walk tall in bent stride/ And propaganda lies on the gentle side of genocide/ Words are used, broken, twisted and misquoted/ The gossip was probably true the first time somebody told it/ And slander's just a well-intentioned public exposition/ That should have been handled man to man as something different/ The bum decisions are done and repeated like that/ Bite my tongue in half as an example of how to fight back/ Write raps and raise a family. Build with the like-minded/ Honor hides itself in strange faces. I'm always glad to find it/ I'm reminded of the wonder of this world in which we live/ How we kill ourselves to have but find freedom when we give/ Climb reason and forgive in a quest for all that is/ I'm standing right beside you 'cause this is where I live/ (Hook) I'm the voice in the distance, the image in the foreground/ Don't have much, but what's mine is yours now/ Can't put your finger on it, but you've seen me around/ Wherever you're at, I'm just a couple doors down/ (Repeat) (Verse #2) SongtexteIt's like 4 in the morning and I'm still here/ Wasn't 'til 3:45 that I started thinking clear/ Concern, anger, sadness, and now my heart is blinking tears/ Take these necessary steps to my art can reach my peers/ I've abused my voice so much that it's hard to sing this year/ And my own songs can't echo in my set of ringing ears/ Pages filled top to bottom with confidence and stinging fear/ That no one understands what I speak and they can't hear/ So I'll say it twice as loud and I'll mean every word/ Can't keep it in my mouth until their peace is disturbed/ From the least to the first, we can see where you hurt/ And we dedicate this now, every beat, every verse/ Every breath, every thought, every prayer, every stage/ Every show, every moment, every night, every day/ Everything that we say and everything that we do/ It's dedicated to you. It's dedicated to you... (Hook) (Verse #3) The moments that I'm walking through affect the way I talk to you/ And this is what I'm called to do. It's almost like I'm stalking you/ You're tired of falling through the cracks from all the broken promises/ And it's tough to hear the voice of reason through these busted monitors/ And as honest as I am, I can't hide behind the façade/ I just wanna bring my people a little closer to God/ If I'm martyred on MARTA, it was probably my time/ But we're here now, hands on, transforming your mind/ So if I ask you how you're doing, don't smile and say, ?Fine.?/ 'Cause it's written all over your face honey, and I ain't blind/ Me and mine, we spill our guts, 'cause without it, we'd go nuts/ The music is therapeutic, so just let it pick you up/ And hold you tight. Move a little closer to the light/ Be careful when you listen 'cause it might just change your life/ And when you see me in the supermarket, just smile and say, ?Hello.?/ And add me to the list of all the people that you know...
