New Horizons
1 AM Lyrics

2024 countdown hit me
The realization of time passing and the future approaching has caught my attention

Every year we gain
With each passing year, we gain new experiences and insights

We lose people who shifty
We may lose people who are unreliable or untrustworthy

I used to be shocked
I used to be surprised or taken aback by certain situations

More dazed than first piffy
Now I am more confused or disoriented than ever before

Now I open the door to see who really with me
I am starting to see who truly supports me and stands by my side

Them shining I oblige it
I acknowledge and support those who are successful and flourishing

I don't got to be around to hear the whispers don't deny it
I don't need to be physically present to know when gossip or negative talk is happening

There's something in their blood
There is something inherent in their nature or character

That hates me vibing
That causes them to dislike or resent my positive energy or vibe

It's probably cause I love them all
Perhaps it is because I care for and support them all

I'm paying homage
I am showing respect and admiration for those who have influenced me

Funny deeper you love the more they play your kindness
Ironically, the more you show love and kindness, the more some may take advantage of it

Little do they know the coals drop on they head every time
They may not realize that their negative actions or words have consequences for themselves

Just read your bible
Simply turn to scripture and seek wisdom and guidance

You could understand the cheat code to life
By following the teachings of the Bible, you can unlock the secrets to a fulfilling life

It's faith in honest
Having faith in honesty and truthfulness is crucial

Truth, life, sweat, tears
Embracing truth, living authentically, working hard, and shedding tears are all part of the journey

Worship the Father
Devote yourself to worshiping and following God

A seed can only grow as big as the person who sows for harvest
The potential of a seed is determined by the care and effort put in by the one planting it

I'm preaching light to a world who only feeds darkness
I am spreading positivity and hope in a world that often focuses on negativity

I've been pardoned
I have received forgiveness and redemption

New horizons every morning body rising
Every new day brings fresh opportunities and growth for my being

Thank the Lord for my conscience
I am grateful to God for guiding my moral compass

Pray my boy go to college
I pray for the success and education of my loved ones

Not see streets become a doctor
I hope they do not get caught up in negative influences and instead achieve great things like becoming a doctor

Or anything He can conjure
Or pursue any path that God has in store for them

Believe in God all possible
With faith in God, all things are achievable

I do it for the kids who need a uncle
I do what I do to support and guide those who lack a positive male role model

To talk to
To provide a listening ear and mentorship

Father aint really a part of
Many lack a father figure in their lives

They life cause of nonsense
Due to various distractions or issues

Aint no where near perfect
I am far from flawless or faultless

But I've learned to say sorry
I have learned the importance of admitting mistakes and seeking forgiveness

Sun gon rise
Each morning, the sun will rise

Look to God new horizonz
Keep faith in God for new beginnings and opportunities

Everyone I know think less of me
I feel that those around me have a diminished opinion of my worth

I done went to the darkest places
I have experienced deep pain and struggles

Still fighting inner me
I continue to battle my inner demons and challenges

Anger comes from years of pain
The anger I feel has been built up over years of suffering

Deep inside hard to see
It is difficult to recognize these emotions within myself

All those around me who never grind their teeth
Those who never endure hardships or struggles

I became an animal just so I could breathe
I adapted and toughened up to survive in challenging situations

Hyenas will eat a lone lion imagine me
Predators will take advantage of a vulnerable lion, akin to my own struggles with adversity

Just a sheep in wolves clothing
I may appear submissive or vulnerable, but I conceal my true strength

From walking barefoot on concrete to wearing to loafers
From enduring hardship to enjoying comfort and success

It almost don't feel right
The transition and changes in my life feel unfamiliar

I found it hard to leave those things I used to kill nights
It is difficult to move on from activities or habits that once consumed my nights

Of course those around me still there not gon feel nice
Naturally, those close to me may not be pleased with my personal growth and changes

When I improved like they should too
As I progress and better myself, others should strive for improvement as well

But thats too real right
However, facing these truths may be uncomfortable for some

Why heal feel right
Why is it easier to inflict harm than to seek healing

Why smile play nice
Why pretend to be friendly and kind with insincere intentions

Rather grill a dude than respect he living too
It is easier to criticize and judge someone than to truly appreciate their existence

Till that dark night
Until a moment of reckoning or realization

Quick click flash bright Scope light goodnight life
In a sudden moment, everything can change and life can take a drastic turn

Pick up your cross
Take up your burdens and responsibilities

I rather break chains than be changing in malls
I prefer to break free from constraints rather than indulging in materialistic pursuits

I rather seek God than to be chasing a broad
I prioritize seeking God over pursuing fleeting relationships or distractions

Rather build my community than study abroad
I value investing in and strengthening my local community over seeking experiences overseas

I don't need to see the world
I do not feel the need to explore or travel extensively

Because it's always been off
Because the true value or essence lies elsewhere

After all earth is dirt
Ultimately, the material possessions of this world hold little significance

Then we wonder why war
Yet, we wonder why conflict and strife exist

Fight for something that's free
Struggling for things that should be freely available or accessible

Like a resource
Similar to a valuable commodity

Open your eyes check for the source
Look beyond superficial appearances and seek the root cause

Worship the Lord
Show reverence and devotion to God

Pick up your cross
Take up your burdens and responsibilities

I rather break chains than be changing in malls
I prefer to break free from constraints rather than indulging in materialistic pursuits

I rather seek God than to be chasing a broad
I prioritize seeking God over pursuing fleeting relationships or distractions

Rather build my community than study abroad
I value investing in and strengthening my local community over seeking experiences overseas

I don't need to see the world

New horizons every morning body rising
Each day brings new opportunities for growth and renewal

Thank the Lord for my conscience
Express gratitude to God for guiding your moral compass

Pray my boy go to college
Hope for the success and education of your loved ones

Not see streets become a doctor
Ensure that they do not stray into negative influences but achieve great things

Or anything He can conjure
Follow the path that God sets out for them

Believe in God all possible
With faith in God, anything is achievable

I do it for the kids who need an uncle
I work for the well-being of those who lack a positive male influence

To talk to
To have someone to confide in and seek guidance

Father ain't really a part of
Many lack a father figure in their lives

Their life cause of nonsense
Due to various distractions or issues in their lives

Ain't nowhere near perfect
I am far from being flawless

But I've learned to say sorry
I have learned the humility of admitting mistakes and seeking forgiveness

Sun gon rise
The sun will always rise again

Look to God new horizonz
Look towards God for new beginnings and opportunities
