Kado, you way too dope, kid
Ayo, Aldez
I was beaten
Defeated
A slave to sin and all it's ways
Stood hopeless
Going through the motions
There was no comfort for my pain
Only one sacrifice could make it right
Ensure that the price was paid
Then one day I met Jesus
And He freed me
I'm no longer bound by chains
Writing has been my passion
Love for music everlasting
So I disappear at times
To a beat with pen and pad
To escape this havoc
You would never know what I been through
'Til you try and fill these size 17 shoes
While the whole world is on fire
I'm alone singing the blues
And the saddest part about it
Is nobody ever seen the clues
You can hear the pain in my voice
Feel what I'm saying
Inside a slaughterhouse
Killing myself with hatred
There's no light to turn on the ceiling of the basement
Because it's dark
And feels like there's no escaping
So what happened when I tripped and fell?
Wounded bleeding refuge seeking
So I hid myself
From the very people closest to me
I was prey and they were hungry vultures
Cultured by greed
Will anybody on this earth ever notice me?
Tell me that this ain't how it's supposed to be
I was beaten
Defeated
A slave to sin and all it's ways
Stood hopeless
Going through the motions
There was no comfort for my pain
Only one sacrifice could make it right
Ensure that the price was paid
Then one day I met Jesus
And He freed me
I'm no longer bound by chains
My life ain't 'bout this money
And it sure ain't about to be
My whole life has been about
Overcoming those who doubted me
Thought I always believed in God
Nobody, not even me
Believed in my own cause
Age 12, I start writing my own songs
Rage burning within
And I got to put it on pause
Huh
But pause ain't moving me forward
Don't stop homie
Just press play and record it
I know my steps are off track
And need to be reordered
You can keep your handouts
I don't want to be rewarded
My tempers raging again
Flagrant angered in sin
Temptation aching
Like the earth's quaking within my skin
The voices so loud
I can't find a way out
Tried to breathe right now
Can't hear my own thoughts
So I'm breaking down
Breaking down this whole house
Memories from childhood
Finally breaking them out
I was beaten
Defeated
A slave to sin and all it's ways
Stood hopeless
Going through the motions
There was no comfort for my pain
Only one sacrifice could make it right
Ensure that the price was paid
Then one day I met Jesus
And He freed me
I'm no longer bound by chains
