RecorDnition ft. Elaine Kristal & Presence Lyrics

Sometimes you gotta take a look outside yourself and recognize whats upon You (recordnition)

And thank god for your blessings cause not everyone has Those same blessings that you have

We all can't write the same story so be mindful of those who come from a Different book so look

If history repeats itself then here's some fossils and facts

No bi*ches in my hood F*uck you for a bottle of Jack

Turn Baby momma baby daughter asking mommy for snack

But mommy can't hear her tho that d-bo gave her a nap

The one with the longer dream where you don't never come back

This what baby girl think while niggas blow out her back

And little brother he a hustler he dun been jail and back

So bad his family don't react when he need bail to get back

Far as a real job without movin grams with a strap

Unrealistic with the list of felonies on his rap

Christmas time ain't no F*ucking jellybeans in a sack

They grippin iron wrinkle any n*gga holdin him back

Especially if he got a kid who beleves in his dad

A real wolf do anything to bring his family some scraps

They took my n*gga J Rod and they gave him 13 he 26 now

So half his life he going unseen

And he got a little girl who really gon be a queen for now a princess who Gotta grow up with no king

Growing up we do things from role models we seen

You catch a body hide the weapon or forever in greens

No directions just intersections filled with addicts and feens

So I ain't talking bout a tat when niggas shoot up a sleeve

Open your eyes recognize what you see

Thoughts in your mind swim around your in too deep

Can't rectify all the times they cheat you

But thats the life they designed you to lose

Dont end up blind

She had a dream that nobody else was seeing

Tried to paint it but nobody else could see it

No stable home she was always leaving

Always wondered why her parents had to leave her

Man her whole life was a tragedy

There was so many things she ain't have to see

Went to school nobody knew what she was battling

Scared to tell people what was really happening

Crying on the inside Smiling on the out

Tired of seeing different people strangers in the house

There was so many times she wanted to bounce

School was an escape for her foster care wasnt the place for her

Til one day man a woman intervened Showed the little girl that life ain't What it seem

And the crazy thing about it all that little girl was me

Said you a little flower started from the bottom

But that only means in time your gonna blossom

Open your eyes recognize what you see

Thoughts in your mind swim around your in too deep

Can't rectify all the times they cheat you

But thats the life they designed you to lose

Dont end up blind

Dont end up Blind

Don't end up Blind

Don't end up Blind
