Sumn You Feel

from The Soulsteez EP by Synik

/

lyrics

1. Everyday I’m tryna be better than I was before
The call to a greater existence is hard to ignore
Used to be on some, “Tryna discover who I am”
Now redefining and creating self is the plan
Ignorance blinds you, Im tryna open my eyes
Truth is scarce, yo, they tryna get you soaking the lies
Like basing racism on a premise of science
And now my people feel small we were created as giants
You won’t know unless you start flipping through the pages
We gods manifest its essential to engage this
Cold world, and to change the status quo
Purpose above paper, that has to matter more
You won’t find worth from what you cop at the mall
Acceptance is a poor reward for the loss of your soul
I pen these thoughts to chords that will pull at your heart strings
A little light to help you while you move through the dark scenes

And when the horns come in, Let your soul breathe,
That’s the zone I’m in, Like that
And take a minute and chill
Sumn you feel
It’s not sumn that you listen to
It’s sumn you feel, it goes

2. Sekuru vangu vakandiudza usa mhura
Chero benzi hausiwe wakariumba
Some of this broken folk are angels in rags
Losing hope as the days turn to ages that pass
I’m blessed with the ability to speak for a few
That’s responsibility to only speak if it’s true
So late nights I’m banging on the keys on my laptop
Chronically ill I need a Chronic beat as a backdrop
Doubting myself like, “noboby cares”
But I guess it’s just a way to let you know that I’m there
Like a child scraping his name in the grain of some old wood
What’s done out of love will remain so it’s all good
Coz the earth was affected by my presence
Cherish existence, every second is a blessing
I pen these thoughts to chords that pull at your heart strings
A little light to help you while you move through the dark scenes


3. Some say God came to the earth as Word in bodily form
So I’m careful with the words I choose to embody a poem
Yo I’m hardly as grown as my age suggests
I’m still chasing pipe dreams from one day to the next
I’m questioning life at most times, yo, I be feeling lost
Coz nobody path came with a road sign
Some people are lucky just to know from the start
The rest gotta figure out the right road to embark
And there’s always these potholes and roadblocks
The pressure to conform so you live like a robot
Gotta break the mental chains, and let freedom reign
Become the person that you want as the seasons change
Coz the only one responsible for you
Is the person in the mirror make a plan and follow through
I pen these thoughts to chords that pull at your heart strings
A little light to help you while you move through the dark scenes

It’s not sumn that you listen to, it’s sumn you feel
We got that heartcore music for yall,
