Lyrics
[VERSE]
Father God, I open my mouth
Attempt to talk but, words don't form out
It ain't no drought, '
Cause Cecil never hesitates
To spew syllables loud
His faith needs to make a sound
Flashbacks, in 2017 September 14th,
Perfect memory, LED screen
Low cut, young with blue tees
Khaki pants and white long sleeves
Over the smiles of Presby men
Bags full of dreams
I was excited to leave my house
Of course the violence, I'm divided,
Sanity gone south
Felt my dad will never be proud
I didn't want that I fought back,
Imposter syndrome, no bypass
Artistic life for up to 14 years
Don't ever doubt
So Mama sends me to the school
Wooden chop box and my tools,
Metal trunk was heavy, Left hand with a broom
Signed a few sheets, we walked to the dorm
Finding a sheet in her purse
Just to learn that my mama was weeks pregnant too
Iron man, my chest felt light, feelin' the worst
Like a Mariachi band song type,
A distraction playin' in my head
I sense they hostile, bullies, I sense a curse
Peer pressure goin' to mess me up,
And fate disguised as a dread
[Bridge]
[Thinking] Life, life, life, life
[VERSE 2]
Here comes the best part, the MC
Bunk bed next to me, Creator's former SP
Gathered seniors to preach, I just stared in awe
He had all courage I could ever want
That Bible-loving Rapper boy
Persecuted often, he taught a lesson
Attack a question with a question
Of the person asking, testing a person's deep confessions
The effervescent, I mean me
Stuck and Cecil freed me, He had the keys
Squeeze my soul and pass out
Just to catch his breeze
I start to idolise, hypothesise
You hear me scream, he prophesied
I miss a class, I'm by his side
Evangelised, I fixed eyes on my new Christ
He never struggled, Life gets crazy
But eh, this man never fumbles,
Why should I crumble?
If death aims at my throat and
Your angels leave me alone
Just know I still won't be humbled
You people marvelled, you feel the clout
I get to shout, free from the doubt
'Cause Cecil never hesitates to spew syllables out
