Generational curse of fear like its rehearsed. 

 

The sky is the limit but only if it's a picture painted into your memory. 

Ideas so amazing...amazingly trapped up in a maze...see, "as long as our outcome is equal..you can't be that amaZING."

But they inspire me to achieve higher...

"see God is God & he, she invest in you so much power but it's impossible for you to reach it because..see my mind is so tiny, I couldn't even comprehend half of your thoughts...see I can admit that I'm a coward. So you shouldn't dream so big, just be comfortable in this box & let us box you in."

 

Generational curse of fear like its rehearsed

But they tell me to get a good paying job...

"Build someone's else dream, don't dare to build yours. See it's more security & less risk in putting someone's else visions first."

"See don't even dream, just lay woke, asleep at night. See you wont have time to sleep to dream because you'll be on that graveyard team. Switch to day time, working your 9 to 5. Nap time won't even better, you barely will have time to close your eyes...let alone let REM occur, so no dreaming of reaching the stars" 

 

Generational curse of fear like its rehearsed. 

Reverse the curse. I have to reverse the curse

So tell Uncle Sam, the white man, my family members, my boss, my community,  & even the dark shadow of fear in my mind that I wont make it to rehearsal tonight or ever again!
