Intrepid II


I've gotta free my mind but careful not to lose it

A brain without a soul is incongruent

When I speak you choose to confuse it

You left me with bruises

Like what the truth is

Without the excuses

Ya feel me?

Don't miscontrue it

I'm trying to live a life that no one else lives

Trying to give a fuck that no one else gives

But these bills don't give a shit

I ain't trying to be rich

Because we live in a world with false profit (prophet)

I never call a girl a bitch

But that's exactly what this world is

Gotta get over it like a bridge

Embrace your enemies with tough cartilage

Accept that which you can't change

Give this world your heart

And just live
