Reflections Lyrics by Awon & Phoniks

Knowledge of Self

2015

[Verse 1: Awon]
What up, young soldiers? I wrote this from the bench
Chilling like a villain, liquor, weed is the stench
Thinking of my wrongs, tryna make it right
Looking back at all the bad karma in my life
I used to sell white to the people who were hurting
Not realising it was the vulnerable I was serving
It wasn't even me that was being Satan's servant
Imprisoning the free, killing spirits, doing dirt when
My thoughts were all savage, influenced by my flesh
Not knowing that everyday's a gift and a test
How can a flawed soul make peace with the Lord?
How can I be free from the sin sword?
Live by the gun, just thankful that I'm alive
Only a handful of homies are left, so I try
To be a positive guy for those who will listen
Giving the blind vision and fill them with wisdom
[Hook: Rodney the Soul Singer]
So tell me what is wrong (I can't let go)
Even in my heart (I lose control)
All I see is mine (My mind and soul)
So go for what you know
Don't you let the lies hypnotise you no more
[Verse 2: Awon]
To all of our daughters, I wrote this from the heart
To let you know a woman is God's work of art
Don't let any man tell you you ain't smart
Degrade your dignity and then tear you apart
Live with humility, have self-esteem
It's hard to wait for the man of your dreams
What you hold is power, giving life to us all
You must pay attention to the writings on the wall
We celebrate pimps and call y'all hoes
Make it rain at the strippers at the club with the dough
But we need to make it rain at your graduation
We celebrate your ass, but not your education
I'm no different, I'm just a man on the surface
Move 'bout your flesh, but I understand your purpose
Objectify the few, just wanna make it right
Understand you have control of your life
[Hook: Rodney the Soul Singer]
So tell me what is wrong (I can't let go)
Even in my heart (I lose control)
All I see is mine (My mind and soul)
So go for what you know
Don't you let the lies hypnotise you no more
[Verse 3: Awon]
What up, young world? I wrote this from the heavens
To let you know that every single day is a blessing
Even at your lowest point, fight off the depression
Shine from within, don't let 'em dim your progression
The youth is forgotten, a generation void
Wandering the streets 'cause so many are unemployed
Education trap, Sallie Mae is the mob
Undergrad degree and still can't get a job
No credit, just debt, quick to call you hipster
Classism new racism, poor equals nigga
We can talk about the problems, but what about solutions?
Your bright ideas could spark a revolution
If occupy had an agenda and a leader
We might be a few steps closer to our freedom
There's power in your voice, exercise your rights
And no matter what, don't give up without a fight
[Bridge: Rodney the Soul Singer]
And today's life would bring you so many sorrows
So live each day like there's no tomorrow
So do what you can and be the better man
Then you will see it, yeah, yeah, so I say
[Hook: Rodney the Soul Singer]
So tell me what is wrong (I can't let go)
Even in my heart (I lose control)
All I see is mine (My mind and soul)
So go for what you know
Don't you let the lies hypnotise you no more
