I see signs of different stars
Observing signs or indications from different paths or destinies.
I know my martyrs stay adjacent with me
Acknowledging the presence of those who sacrificed for a cause, staying close.
I ain't dying with no promises unkept
Not willing to face death with unfulfilled promises.
I know I'm selfish 'cause I'm self-reliant

Envy those with bad decisions on they deed, yeah
Feeling envy towards those who make bad decisions.
I used to pray that I would fall when I seen madness at my feet
Praying to fall when confronted with madness.
I pity those that take they secrets to they deities
Pitying those who confide their secrets to their deities.
I been defeated, I don't claim to be unbending
Admitting defeat without claiming to be unyielding.
Absentee when niggas preach before they hear you
Absentee when people preach before understanding.
Seen them silvery, anemic
Observing people who are pale and lacking vitality.
When they dead inside, they reach for any sliver
Describing the tendency to grasp at any sliver of hope when feeling dead inside.
Keep a space around me, I just pray to God they don't come near you

Honestly, I'll be a pillar made of granite
