Lifefirst - Braille

I’m guided down a path which the life define

Plant my flag in this world of a spiritual state of mind

My rhymes shines light reflected from the divine

Kick a verse for the masses, change the face of mankind

I’m blind in the flesh, some are blind to the truth

Ignore something too long then it forgets about you

and that excuse

We’re equal but the triangle of life is still obtuse

Distribution of tattoos, don’t try and remove

The storm is coming, Life was hitting store shelves like can foods

(It's Braille’s debut)

Give me your attention

I mention my vision for the sake of worldwide inspiration

Hijack habitats with text respiration

Many sleeping on God, it’s time to end hibernation

This isn’t competition

My purpose won’t be defeated

I’m here to get you open

Or at least open minded

The key to getting ahead has always been getting started

You better hurry before you start hearing «dearly departed»

I keep my stand corrected

Unpredictable

Unexpected

But constant with God in my heart because He’s top selected

My smile can’t be adjusted by people who can’t be trusted

Cause if I let it my whole spirit will come busted

I’m guided through life course, through God’s force I’m protected

Respect it cause it’s keeping me cool calm and collected

Not interested in the amounts you count when you’re paid

Cause the money will go but your soul will never fade

I could care less how fresh you are in a claim

You’re lame, chill with that or be destroyed by your fame

It’s all the same, the only change is who’s behind it

Rise, open your eyes stop walking this Earth blinded

Back in the day, hip hop was my only work

But now I’m a child of God I’ve put life first

When I inflict pain

It’s cause the truth hurts

I do a lot of things

But keep life first

There’s more than hip hop to express in a verse

I write what I live, and live life first

When I inflict pain

It’s cause the truth hurts

I do a lot of things

But keep life first

There’s more than hip hop to express in a verse

I pay rent with happiness, live life first

Now look here

Somebody told me it was all about flows, bank rolls and hoes

I beg to differ

Coming from the non coke sniffer

The non weed smoker

The non alcohol

The brother who was looking forward to meeting his maker

Storm the Unpredictable

Flows are hot

Hip hop means a lot to me but it is not all that I got

I heard Common say that

That brother made Sense

Negativity stay back, I’ll turn down on it before I

Sold out my soul to the evils of this nation

I would repeat that statement with no trace of hesitation

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I fall into temptation

Done things that had my family worried and pacing

But God’s got my back now I don’t worry who I’m facing

The higher power

Turns things sweet when sour

I’m serious about this, life comes first

Before I step on stage and verbally disperse

That’s why to make money I will not curse

Cause what’s worse

The cheddar doesn’t matter in a hearse

What does matter is the way you’ve lived your days

The way you’ve affected lives in your path I pray

That you will, put good use to these words I say

Cause rhyme is not just abuse with your verb display

Serves I made remind you of cause I drop bombs

When it was sent by the creator so no need for alarm

The things I’m called to speak put all my dreams in reach

By example I teach

My ways and actions preach

I think it’s time to expand upon my past attempts

Before you think we’re all a bunch of players, prostitutes and pimps

Putting a price on head checks

It’s my mind well spent

Some of you between the ears don’t have one red cent

I’ve meant what I said while others keep cutting corners

That’s the reason that families have turned into mourners

We don’t show your true colors like ink and black and white pictures

The words we bring register 10 on the Richter

It’s about having confidence in the message you deliver

And constantly being called «the unselfish giver»

Reality hit you harder than a championship boxer

Don’t let the ills of this world outfox ya

In the days when exchange pages for pacemakers

And they learn that we’re afraid so who’s waiting to undertake ya?

I look at the future and wonder where time went

I’m upset that so much going down is incorrect

There’s different sides of the fence to make it all make sense

My contents intense, it’s knowledge you need to get

I’m not out to prove who’s more intelligent

I just ask you look at music as more than entertainment

To me it’s evident those that talk about guns

Will eventually end up being shot by one

Don’t argue till I’m done, these are my concepts

My tongue ain’t involved in that traditional nonsense

I’m drug free

You can’t control me with a substance

I’m hooked on God, life, the mic and my subconscious

It’s obvious, my image won’t sell magazines

But if it does than maybe this song changed some things

See I live life before I grab the mic

So on the mic I display life
