I started rhyming just to be somebody

To make people notice me at the party

And not just be the new kid that's albino

Make em say yeah I know but have you heard him rhyme though

Now take that same party around the globe

And my stories connected with a lot of folks

I hope so cause that's the only thing I know

I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed

And I go with the feeling from the start

Blind in the eye so I see you with my heart

And to me all ya'll look exactly the same fear faith compassion and pain

And try as we may to mask it remains

Such as your religion or your past and your race

The same color blood just pass through our veins

And tears taste the same when they splash on your face

The worlds getting too small to stand in one place

Its like we're roommates just sharing a space

Can't separate and still carry the weight

Gotta heal get away from the fear and the hate

Gotta shake free from the chains

You see what remains

Just a human being end of the day

Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane

Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm saying

I started rhyming just to be somebody

Found out that I already was

Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free

There's no me and no you its just us

Street preacher what a fan once called me

I been called worse and tried to live up

Hope you don't mind a few more stories

I swear to god ya'll I tell em with love
