I have an existence outside of your perception A perception that I have no control over You have an existence outside of my reach An existence that I have no control over With your independent mind, I pose the question What does it mean anymore? I was told the news and grieved Depressions, resilient uprisings against the mind and body Erased from history Within this life, tell me what does it mean The breath of life of surviving To revere a continuous flow of time upon a new dawn After the evil had been exiled And the weapons failed to prosper I know who I am What I fought against My inspirations But I ask you What value do these moments have? What do they mean? Time to let go of overthinking 'Cos when has that ever served me? Tell these inhibitions to get behind me I take action upon this new beginning Many closures, concluded experiences Raspy piercings to the soul That focus is rebuked as I cast out such animosity And create with sincerity I walk this path with sincerity Based on what's been my reality That matters That means something

W-lar's made some heat today! Ibeknowin' Ye, ibeknowin' Ibeknowin' Ibeknowin' Ibeknowin' Ye, ooh So what's up? (What it do?) What's the consensus? (What it is?) I live in every part of me (Every part, yeah) All the life of which I yearn to seek (All the life, yeah) Casting life with what I choose to speak We been through it, yeah, many times I remember what sparked the light You know You know You know You know (Ibeknowin') 'Cuz I be knowin' (I know, I know, I know) Connections in my memory (It links up, right, and there) All those moments which just led to be Joy prevails, the rest is dead to me All the things that we verify (Correct) And proceed with a solid mind (Correct) You know You know You know You know (I be knowin') ('Cuz I be knowin')

Keep on persevering and believing in yourself It's a part of being human to go through daily battles, challenges, and situations And it may seem like those issues will never end But trust me It's short-lived To restore your faith You first need to believe in yourself (Believe in yourself no matter what situation you're in) You need to believe you can do it (Put your mind to it) You need to believe that this is not the only way of being (Enable us to grow) So when I'm overthinking I have to (Blessing in disguise) Catch myself in that (Blessing in disguise) Loop of thought (Blessing in disguise) And (Blessing in disguise) The overthinking part needs to be broken down to the point where you Seek guidance, seek change Break your habitual way of thinking, way of thinking And you need to change it when you rewire the pattern in your brain (And I never, never knew) And when you rewire the pattern in your brain (And I never, never knew) You need to seek guidance and seek solutions to that Behavioural pattern (Ooh, it could be this way) That makes you overthink every time (Ooh, it could be this way) That makes you not be present every time (And I never, never knew) (And I never, never knew) How do you do it? You breathe the air, right here right now In here Right here (And I never, never knew…)

So tired Posted in the night Thinking back 'pon my life When my minds set on fire -ire So tired Everything's a riot Chaos from dead minds, yeah Shrug it off, I survived, uh So tired Everything's a riot Hammer's all in my eye eye Time is stuck in a mire -ire So tired Shift that rised the fire Realise that from my life And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away Rather walk away from this Feeling's deep I, feel it in my soul Overthinking always takes a toll But then I put it right back to the corners of this heavy brain Walking through the meadows of this madness, I might go insane Mind on fire Nighty lighters I'm feeling tired And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away So tired 'Cause I fought that fight No truth had been honoured So the cycle clutches tight So tired New stage of my life Acclimating to the worst Unwanted compromise So tired After all this time I'm already spoken for What's been said misaligned (Why you speakin' for me?) So tired Once fought fire with fire So what good is the fight fight And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away And in my mind, it replays I'd rather walk away Rather walk away from this

sermon 04:08
They can operate withing that room 'Cos that is the condition They want that type of thinking They can operate from within that place, d'ysee? So I then started to pray into that place, and ask for God's blood to cleanse that place And I was aware of aspects of myself that was unforgiving, d'ysee? And holding onto negative things, though That's one way in which When someone's actions and words can sew something in you You can be offended and receive it like a seed It then starts to grow And if you allow it It will bear fruit And it will That fruit will become seeds And that seed will then affect you That will affect someone else And you then will take that same thing I will then take the same thing And offend someone in the same way And it will become - you will become connected to darkness Do you see what I mean? That's one way in which The enemy can offend and you receive it But the best way is For you to not receive it in the first place Like a woman said some negative thing but I didn't receive it It didn't… I didn't… It didn't bug me I didn't spot it within myself But I was aware of it A woman had said "um, oh - um, can I help you?" when I was tagged in Now why would you interpret that is, she's saying "Well am I gonna take that thing out of the door" So, y'know You can be - as a black person, especially You heard that so many times, you can be offended at that But I just said - I didn't Let it Sew into my spirit But to develop that You have to be in a position where that's happened Over and over and over again Then you come back and think about "I should've said this, I should've said that I'd have said this, she should have said that I would have done this, I would have done that" What that means is that that thing is sewn That's sewn into you I came back and I didn't even think about it I'm aware it happened But it didn't get sewn into my spirit Do you understand? So whatever that attitude of that demon wanted to sew into me It wasn't sewn Yeah? It's a very important point Very important
