Lyrics
"Dis Courage" was written March 19, 2015 during a transitional phase I was in (except for the parts I freestyled while recording). This track reflects the pain, confusion, & frustration I was enduring at that time. At that time, A LOT of things were being revealed to me by God about myself, the ppl who were around me, & the world as I knew it...which made me question a lot of things...even myself....
Thanks for listening/reading!
Intro:
Dis…Courage *repeat 3 x's*
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Verse:
I'm losing my motivation
to go & take it
used to be so driven, life almost drove me crazy
for yrs I persevered til now, my hope is fading
I kno that faith is
the substance of things hoped for, so Lord who I loss faith in?
God or myself/ I'm, hard on myself
u kno the game I'm just playing the cards I was dealt
Dawg, I'm myself
what u expect from me?
God is my witness, no kidding, like getting a vasectomy
ironically tho, closing my mind is a stretch for me
see more soaks in
when it's more open
I'm going thru it but that's what u do when doors open
u only get 1 shot, that much I kno but what's the hold up, God? Is the Lord toasting
it's hard for me to celebrate
when every day
the devil tears away
at my spirit in damn near every way
so many tears that I've shed today
so many ppl I've loved, idk where are they
I'd say they left but to leave would mean u were there, I pray
I get out this rut, I'm trying
but it feels like I'm dying
jus wanna live but feel like I'm wasting my time
this is the dark side of ambition
pouring ya heart in what u do & having it spat back in ya face, by damn critics
or a friend who said they support u but never show it
u support all they do, & their load, u helped em tote it
knowing everybody needs a helping hand, man, listen
u can be a selfish man, & giving
what you've given that u truly needed
how much u sacrifice for someone else that truly needs it
Or do u only give to benefit from who's receiving..the selfish giver
I see ppl & can see who're demons
smile in my face, ask me for favors, but I kno u scheming
but I ain't with the fake shit
nah, i defy the matrix
like Neo did
I ain't Mr. Anderson, I'm Neo, bitch
which would u choose? The red or blue pill?
I chose the grape 1, that's red, & blue, stilll
cursed with the gift, gifted with the curse, now that's too real
living as me everyday
in every way
u ain't got a clue on what it takes
for this courage, to never break
Dis…Courage *repeat 3 x's*
Outro:
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
Don't Stop, Don't Quit
