Lyrics
Like an epiphany
Realization of a profound truth or insight
Moment of clarity
A moment of clear understanding
I was blind before
Prior to this realization, lacked understanding or insight
But now my eyes can see
Now able to perceive things clearly
I know my destiny
Awareness of one's future path or fate
I'm open mentally
Being receptive and open-minded
My spirit is ready
Ready emotionally or spiritually
For the awakening
For a significant awakening or realization
The awakening
Emphasizing the importance of this awakening
Empty your mind of all thoughts
Clearing one's mind from thoughts
Let your heart be at peace
Letting inner peace prevail
A courageous walk down the Mississippi road
A brave journey along a symbolic path
We live in the blues of the delta
Living within hardships or challenges
A good morning to your neighbor, a good night to your dreams
Wishing well for others
We are the song of survival
Representing resilience and endurance
A living song without lyrics or words
Expressing life's essence without words
A kind gesture, a wink of the eye
Small acts of kindness and affection
A loving touch upon a child's head
Tenderly caring for a child
A strong warm hug to keep away the doubt
Offering strong emotional support
Grandmas, grandma's hands upon your face
A comforting presence of elders
The wiping of the wavered tears
Drying someone's tears
Holding back the fizz
Containing or controlling emotions
And between in-between the shoe shines and the dish washing
Between menial tasks and significant achievements
And between in-between the GD's and PhD's
Coexistence of different social strata
And between in-between the owl housers and crack houses
Contrasting lifestyles within a community
We, we create waves to live and love
Creating positive influences and changes
We live on the move
Constantly progressing
Move, moving, moving forward through the bling bling
Moving forward despite materialism
The prison captain, the clothes castors and the hoes and bitches and the alcohol and Jesus all on the same corner
Various societal struggles coexisting
We are the one and true living God
Empowerment and divinity within
All around us is life
Acknowledging the abundance of life
Our humanity, our humanity is the essence of life
Humanity as the core of existence
Our blood, our blood nurtures the soul
The essence of life's sustenance
Our humiliation and pain gives an expression
Transforming pain into expression
Our ignorance gives vision
Learning from ignorance
To what's like living contradictions, living pillar doctors
Living with contradictions
Living phenomenons, living just for the city
Extraordinary individuals within the urban landscape
For a smile, for a touch
For simple joys and connections
For hip-hop, for the glory of our ancestors
Symbolic representation of cultural pride
And the blessings of our guides
Seeking guidance and blessings
Peace
Desire for peace
