Protecting My Peace

Three, two, one, Go!

You said it'd be different this time
You had your own rules, I was living by mine
Kinda hard to put these feelings into a rhyme
We could save the world if we had the time

I've been burning my incense
Trusting my sixth sense
I hope me being here actually makes a difference
Things are different now, I'm living with intention now
Elevated my mind, my feet are on the ground
I got this feeling that I've been here before
My last lifetime, I was meant to do more
I'm getting what I need and everything in between
Been watering my garden and planting my own seeds
I'm as up as I ever been, been as down as I'll ever be
Seen both sides of the coin, so when you see me
Just know that there's nothing that I've never seen
Let it be
Let me talk my shit, let me reminisce
13 year hiatus, I'm back on my shit
Too abundant to not be sharing these gifts
Saw a shooting star last night, I'm making my wish

You don't believe that or see that
Your vision already is what you know
Listen, be grateful, be gentle
Open your heart and your mind will flow
Imagine how it feels feeling something so real
I wonder how you could not let it show
Patience is a virtue, holding on hurts you
Free yourself and then you'll grow

Would you cage a butterfly and if so, why?
If you flew towards the sun, would you be terrified?
Gave 'em two truths and in return you got a lie
I wanna go where dreams come true, not to die
So live the life that's in front of you
Hope you win your silent battles, hope you win the war too
It takes what it takes, so do what you gotta do
Watch out, they try to convince you poison is good for you
Follow through, stay true, your future self is watching you
Rather have a list of failures, not the shit you didn't do
Time heals all, it'll give you perspective
Apologies to the ones that never got second chances
Not your fault, just a victim of circumstances
The more you give advances, the more that they take advantage
Seems surreal, but this shit is so real
Heart on your sleeve, blood on your shield

Even if it's rain, the flowers will bloom again
It's just a cloudy day, go breathe and feel yourself
Even if it's rain, the flowers will bloom again
It's just a cloudy day, go breathe and feel yourself

Yea, Yea, I'm protecting my peace
I'm protecting my peace

Yea, Yea, I'm protecting my peace
Yea, I'm protecting my peace

Yea, Yea I'm protecting my peace
Yea, I'm protecting my peace
