Affirmation
MEDHANE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chinks in my armor, scratches on my skin
Been a minute momma sayin it’s my
Life to live need the chips wonder why they
Try greasing him
Seize the wins move with the wind
Head spin when i think of going thru it again
Places i been, shit that i seen
Know the peace ain’t free, tryna breathe
Where the air clean, tryn repair me
Scary when the motivation missing
On the daily
Clear we winning every time in the grind
By my brother side need the prize
Just for peace of mind
Northface in the winter time
Trekking thru the cold mission was to grow
Really i be ghost know that
Niggas not ya bros
We the type to get it on our own
Had to let you know when i needed you
Every goal feasible
Niggas can’t bleed for you
Time fast you could see it move
Lead me to the righteous
Long nights wit my vices leave me sightless
Blinded by the brightness
I'm a diamond, I’m a king
I’m everything i need
I know I hold the keys, need the CREAM
Niggas gotta eat, steady on my feet
We was overseas wildin, on the same timing
Tryna see a change
Ease the pain wit the same shit
Ain’t nobody there when it’s raining
Pacing running through thoughts
Hear the walls
Ain’t surprising that stress was the source
Off course had to get back peace of mind
Remembering the times
I couldn’t describe what was inside
Gettin wise had to open my eyes
Making strides takin time
Bro on my side need the prize in the grind
Win every time
