Antidote

Its been a long time coming
But you know I've made it now
And I will sojourn the truth
railroad of the underground
Back in '93
It was Mom and me
A trinity
Missin one
but we found a separate peace
2 was all we needed
Man I felt completed
If We had each others backs
We'd never feel defeated
Immovable force
She never let me self degrade
Whoop my behind
Just to remind me
That we came from slaves
I was bullied a little bit
never an invalid
Grew up And faught the battles
for those other kids
I could never be broke
Behind the mic like Tito
Loving all the people
Cuz She told me we were equal
Sandra was the prequel
To show me some wouldnt think so
I didn't believe it
Until that night,
Instant replay: TiVo
She occupies a soft spot in my heart
But Her father didn't want
His grand kids to look like
Negros
She watched tv shows but
This was murder he wrote
I learn from Heros
To feel like I needed zero
World lays in my hands
Maybe I can fritos
Other kids
who got judged and prayed for life repos
But the past is
What we can't get back now
She found another man
Her father didn't need to pat down
Im Written my own path
Keeping my frequency fly
labeled myself an outcast
My Castles in the sky

Hook:
Even with a Heart of Gold
Some dont want to let it show
I wont forget it
I won't forget it
I wont forget it, No
We all know that the world is cold
but you were the antidote
you were the antidote
I won't forget it, No


Back in middle school
Mrs. Van Nest
Always wanted to contest
policy was honest
I was living thoughtless
She saw I was flawed
Thought that I could flaw less
Tried to see the God in me like
Lucy lawless
But it didn't work did it
She asked me if I read that book for class
said I did it.
I was just kidding
But that was not the point
She saw a need for precision
I was hitting and missing
Man She Wouldnt let me rest or settle for nothing
If I wanted something
Found my lyrics on the floor
And I wished for that second coming
She Told me a cussing was lazy
I couldn't think of nothin else
Not a valedictorian
But im Top shelf
give it away
Give it away
Give it away now
She gave me a way out.
And nothing was on my mind
Except that grind to stay out
I hope that one day she get to see this bouquet now
Nothing but respect for her
And her position
she said All you gotta do is listen
And comprehend
There is nothing you can't do
I'm am your teacher
Win or lose
My mission is to advance you

Hook

It's crazy how it goes
It's crazy no one knows
what we'll become
until we get there
and we'll get there

Bridge: My Inner Jii
My inner me
My lonely thoughts
My inner Peace
Orfeo got put to sleep
so you can call me Apojii
I will not Forget it, no
I won't forget it, no
debted to whom the credit goes
I won't forget those
sacrifices of men and mice
it's amazing tomorrow we'll
shed the vices
I will not forget it, no

Hook out
