Trendan. - September 8th.

{part i}

{verse}
Yeah, on the day i arrived, september 8th, 2009
The sun shined, parted from the clouds in the sky
Solar eclipse, crowds watch and cover their eyes
Mother smiled, wiping tears from her eyes as she cried
Birth of the golden child as i walk in the steps of the lord
See what’s in store, a product they could never afford
Sent from heaven to fight the devil, now i’m givin him hell
I prevail against the ruthless, fought tooth and a nail
Yeah, the time is now, what you waiting for?
You niggas don’t even know what you was hating for
God gifted me with everything i was praying for
Got my head in the clouds, but the stars are what i'm
Aiming for
The difference is, the ignorance in the system we
Living in
They take us for granted, take advantage of what we giving them
Been at war with the poor for ages, pour for the warriors slain
Pray the ones living can find hope before it’s a grave
Thought niggas would keep it real
But no one cares about how you feel if there’s nothing for them to gain
So i spare myself the pain by staying to myself
I started to lose hope, and started to gain stress
To the point where i felt my only option was death
My life was slippin away, but as i caught my last breath
I realized the fear lies in myself, it got the best of me
Kept my faith in the lord and savior, i know he testin me
Procrastinating all these dreams that im chasing
Looking back on all the years that i’ve wasted
Putting blood sweat and tears in these lyrics, knowing i still haven’t made it
Searching for inspiration, the frustration is written all over my face and i hate it
Regardless, i know i’m destined for greatness
Even at my lowest, i rise to the occasion
Life is what you make it, remind yourself
If you forget, in the end you define yourself

{chorus}
But nobody really knows when it’s your time to go
So before that moment comes, you better give your heart and soul
No matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams
I stay awake, yeah, aye
I said nobody really knows when it’s your time to go
So before that moment comes, you better give your heart
And soul
No matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams
I stay awake, will i be here forever or fade away?

{verse}
Nowadays, there’s a lot of demons disguised as angels
That’s why i don’t always believe what i see with my eyes
I’m thankful to be alive, as i give you food for thought
I know those other rappers been feeding you lies
Lately i’ve been stuck between what i am and what i wanna be
Leaving the past behind so i can look towards the future in front of me
Counting my days, trying to make it to the glory road
Nothing lasts forever, that’s just how the story goes
Reminiscing back to the old days
I’m not the type of nigga who raps bout cash and gold chains
I feel like im burning alive in a world that’s so cold
Either you die young, or go broke
It isn’t fair, this life is no joke
I wonder if i could really shine
They say life’s a bitch, but to me she’s really fine
She had the nicest lips and pretty eyes
There was beauty in the struggle, i miss the shitty times

{chorus}
But nobody really knows when it’s your time to go
So before that moment comes, you better give your heart and soul
No matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams
I stay awake, yeah, aye
I said nobody really knows when it’s your time to go
So before that moment comes, you better give your heart
And soul
No matter the cost, even when i’m lost in my dreams
I stay awake, will i be here forever or fade away?
Damn
