I face you in the morning face you in the nighttime
Face the music in the silence and the silence when I write rhymes
Deafening the violence down the pipeline
Rabbit hole with Alice in the black pushing white crimes
At an all time high still we walk on by
Like it's not happening in our own establishments
Not that again we turn a blind eye
Admitting failure before we even try
Sky's the limit academics but the egos tries
By telling us we'll never succeed we're gun shy
My reply six shots let em fly fail the test let em die
When I should've let it ride, I
Hot tempered the humanitree continues
With the shit that I been through make some others wanna cry
But why I'm still here true and bonafide
And I still might be here when you die
Met death in 02 saw truth in a worldwide lie
Now I'm a spy for the most high
Couldn't comprehend my life experience if I laid my hand and
Touched you have to know everything that happened
That led up to this moment own it with me y'all
Self the only opponent in any cause and effect
Even death of the flesh when you got nothing left
You faults and your best laid to rest come on get with me y'all

It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence

I'm not taking it sittin' back and just chilling this is for our
Children they're the reason why we keep building
What's the reason why they keep killin' and blame it on the
Villains to make a change it's gonna take the whole village
But we get divided by the fact we don't see eye to eye
We keep getting hit but ain't got no time to cry
And get caught up in lies sensationalized
It's time to re-humanize and re-sensitize
Go kiss and hug your child put down your device
The next time they say why look them in the eyes
Be patient even if you have to say it twice
I've made plenty of mistakes throughout my life
But I'm lucky at least I got some right
It ain't about a thumb swipe it ain't about how many likes
Don't seek attention from short lived false hype
Try your best to be true you'll be alright
We all wanna be loved and accepted
That's why we get drawn to deception looking for
Things to invest in hoping to lessen
The pain that we're kept in feeling so inept when
We hold ourselves to a standard based on fake value systems
Time to shut off the transmissions
And look within ourselves for our visions
I hope one day my grandkids are listenin'

It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence

King or Queen to be off spring to see
Every L-O doesn't come with a V-E
Living a building spree life is incredible
And death is inevitable
Growing the edible tree of life
The fruit doesn't fall far from the right
Celebration of a godly creation
Man woman and child that's the nation
No separation of against us shall prosper
It was written so respect the author
Read it lead it then set it
Cash on delivery no type of credit
Generational growth that's the oath
Seeds are no joke doing the most
Bless the host for being the portal
Freeing the mortal the woman's paranormal
Bless

I have two kids both number one
Libra and gemini intellectual guns
Any problems that they have l teach em up to never run
Put a smile on their face is like power from the sun
Now that's a warm feeling always checking' how you being
Making sure them boys are kneeling gotta shotty that i'm cleaning
For them fuck boys fiending I'm a padre hittin being
Better understand the meaning or stand over what I'm dealing
These dads don't play no games no way
Only love portrayed want rain or sun ray
Wrong move wrong way won't be a delay
Better ask O'Shea don't mess up a good day
Still overprotective when it comes to my kids
Try to teach em good mistakes allow you to live
Be a better me follow your heart and show empathy
Show up everyday and bring your energy
Rid negativity make possibilities real
Be an artist of life styles express how you feel
Forever learning though realizing I don't know
Half the things my girls go through grey hairs grow
Dad's here for your first breath first word first steps
First cup first plate first candle first cake
First day of school first award never was late
First mistake first date be there when you graduate
Walk you down the aisle give your hand to your soulmate
First dance first toast even for your first place
I do the most always keepin y'all close
Always keepin y'all close Dad's doing the most

It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
It's not the presents it's your presence and the essence
