[00:05.236]Yeah
[00:10.420]Yo
[00:11.002]We all change like the winter with leaves
[00:12.926]Tried to bury all my siblings didn’t know we were seeds
[00:16.661]Didn't know we were seeds
[00:19.298]Didn’t know we proceed, regardless of the trees and our forests they cut down
[00:23.461]This brothers got a story to tell now
[00:25.819]Deforestation of my people every time I look around
[00:28.421]A stem’s only dream is to touch clouds
[00:30.845]I’m guessing
[00:31.687]Matrimony between storytelling essence and my instrumental selection equates to married perfection
[00:36.382]While recording the string section, it's on me
[00:38.918]And honestly, this feeling is twin to being free
[00:41.438]Writing my music outside, city speaking to me
[00:43.819]Listening to her tales, jotting down what she see or say
[00:47.396]Across the street children at play
[00:49.064]Unaware they’ll be forced to to choose a career path one day, they fly
[00:52.208]In thought, she sees it in my eyes, then hits me with a question patiently awaiting a reply
[00:56.812]She asks, “What do you wanna do before you die?”
[00:59.313]For now, baby I only dream to survive these times
[01:02.954]At first I only wanted to age (These times)
[01:04.789]Thought if I grew up I’d start the next page (These times)
[01:08.358]Realized with time comes mind, and so what happens to kids who choose to be blind?
[01:13.164]I’ve been thinking ‘bout my growth
[01:14.751]I wanna grow to be someone that helps us both
[01:18.032]Cause of that I know what I wanna be

[02:50.505]A force for real good
[02:52.562]Which means fusing humility with tenacity
[02:54.794]Fusing memory with integrity
[02:57.143]And most importantly being true to oneself the way you are
