What would you do if all of your pendants were limitless?
Or do you spend any frivolous
All eyes are on you to cover the damages
Would you be generous managing?
Would you be calm or be panickin'?
Does the pound turn us to savages?
How do we weigh up or balance this?
How would you feel? What would you do
If your life was covered in bandages?
If you had a family of four
And the kids wanted things you could never afford
Bailiffs are bangin' the door
Parents are losin' they memory
Your brother is in penitentiary
He writin' to you, but he ain't there mentally
How would you feel? What would you do
If you didn't know your identity?
The love of your life is wantin' to see you
But work is drainin' your energy
What would you say to your baby girl
When she ask you 'bout white supremacy?
This generation is fuckin' the kids up
And I'm just providin' the remedies
How would you feel? What would you do
If you had to write "In loving memory"?
We're all afraid of seein' the casket
Make it a home in the cemetery
The truth is hard to swallow
The truth is, God still loves your enemies
I know the story of Jonah
I know I come off a different aroma
I know my mind is a textbook that they can learn from
Even though I ain't got a diploma
Why are we waitin'? What is the hold up?
Ain't no one askin' to live in our shoes
From the same place, but different views
Askin' for help was never the move
Too much price and too much to lose, it's true
There's a light that we take and carry on
You and I found a way to be strong
So how would you feel? What would you do
If you thought the world was against you?
You didn't talk to an angel, told him you needed some guidance
You was sufferin' in silence, now you're on a desert island
Feeling hopeless, lifeless
Your body contracted self doubt and that is a horrible virus
Is this an incurable climate?
Everybody's on autopilot
But wanna get the diamond in the rough with minimal effort to find it
It's lonely at the top but not in the way they described it
Who do you pity or side with?
Who do you ride for? Who do you slide with?
What is the saint you racking up mileage for?
Can you see past all my minor flaws?
Are you the type to abide the law?
Are you the kind to be risking your life?
What is the cause you are dying for?
Always believed it was bigger than me
Even when blurry and I couldn't see, yeah
God said I'm the best for the job, I agree
Nothing is promised and nothing is free
Would you still do it with no guarantee?
You're either a saving grace or you're a disturbance
What did you do when given your purpose?
It's not the fact that you're not here
It's the way you disappear
It's not the fact that you're not here
It's the way you disappear
And who am I when you're no longer here?
Yeah
There's a light that we take and carry on
You and I found a way to be strong
Nowhere near
Nowhere near
Nowhere near we used to be
Nowhere near
Nowhere near
Nowhere near we used to be
