Guardian Angel
Tyler James Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The inspiration of a nation innovation
Til I change the talk into a conversation
I'm like a doctor and my patients are anxiously
Waiting healing all the hating
That's faking in the paper chasing
Its hard to live up to these expectations
That I'm facing and gain the admiration
That's why I'm pacing back and forth
Contemplating, meditating how to use what I've been taught
As a positive force
Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel
I wanna be the greatest in the world
Not for the money,or the fame,or the girls
Not for the car keys,jet skis,or the vacation to the West Indies
But simply 'cause love it
When I write I'm like a puppeteer
Pulling my strings til the melody sings
And it honestly makes me spread my wings
You calling me out
Without your mind
Send that thought back down your spine
I'm on the ground
It's on the line
Road signs say both ways at the same time
Most days I can't wait to rhyme
Express my stress elevate and shine
Progress,regress
Each step's climbed
So I take that test and I testify
Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel
I feel so misunderstood
'Cause my intentions were good
If you can only see that poetry can hide in the hood
The passion in Philosophy of possibilities
Every dream is in my reach
I'll find my freedom in this beat
Follow me now it's a brand new ground
Swallow your pride I'll make you proud
All of my life I've lived out loud
We just preached to different crowds
Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
Its time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel
Oh this is who I am
I wish you'd understand
It's time to set me free
My Guardian Angel
No no matter what I do
I'm still apart of you
I hope you'll always be
My Guardian Angel

'Cause my intentions were good
I had good intentions all along
If you can only see that poetry can hide in the hood
I want others to see that poetry can come from anywhere

Join me as I explore new territory
Swallow your pride I'll make you proud
Let go of your ego and I'll help you achieve success
All of my life I've lived out loud
I've always lived my life boldly and loudly
We just preached to different crowds
We have different beliefs and values
