For now,
I sit in the quiet, with thoughts heavy as fuck, letting time slip through fingers, like water or trust.
For now,
I sit in the quiet, with my thoughts running a muck like I won't pull the gun out, that i keep in the tuck
For now,
I sit in the quiet, trying to find ways to prove myself.
Like ya don't know where i'm from.
I can always see the truth from the fake In New York, we keep it a buck.
For now,
I sit in the quiet but I grew up in the P's Where bodies get laid out, death moves with ease.
For now,
I sit in the quiet, with my head at my knees Praying to God, that he'll let me be.
One second to breathe I'm begging you, please.
For now,
I sit in the quiet, just wanting to see There's a better life I envisioned for me.
But the streets keep calling, they pulling me back, With whispers of struggle and things that I lack.
For now,
I sit in the quiet, but my mind's on the grind, Hustling for peace that's so hard to find.
I'm stuck between praying and fighting to heal, Not sure if the truth is something to feel.
For now,
I sit in the quiet, dreaming in spite,
of where my mind takes me in the middle of the night
The weight of the past, it sits on my chest, But I'm betting on me, and I'm giving my best.
For now,
Is just a moment in time
A world of struggle but this struggle is mine.
I rise from the quiet, with strength in my chest Knowing each struggle prepares me for my test.
The streets have their influence, but I choose my way.
There's more to this life, than in the moment today.
So For now,
I keep pushing forward, with fear in my eyes Going through trials, learning to survive.
I hold on to faith and to dreams I can't see,
This shit may be rough but I won't let it break me.
