World Around Me Lyrics by CheVon

The Radiant Child

2014

[Produced by Philippe Edison]
[Intro: ChéVon]
Yeah, and I go by the name of ChéVon
The Radiant Child, uhuh
[Verse 1: ChéVon]
I wanna thank y'all for the love that I've been given
Brought me back when my Max. lost it's transmission
Related it to my drive the days I lost my ambition
Now I got the crowd, bumping to my vision
Brought me to the first time I heard It Was Written
And if I ruled the world, I'd release all my kinsmen
They said my dreams deferred, it's absurd, I was gifted with words
Not a minister, but I speak beliefs you concur
I give you ether each verse
24/7 I'm awake, I can sleep in my hearse
That's the day I'm pushing daisies
And lift from this curse
Because daily, polices are shady
I'm no coward, that's just how my mama raised me
They say that I'm preaching
The streets listen to our families weeping
Know that these niggas are creeping
Taking souls to get even
Haunted day and night and troubled by demons
Heard a lil homie murdered last weekend
As they ask what I believe in..
[Hook: ChéVon]
I believe in fate, I believe in God
I believe in humans, we just never do our jobs
Every day's a struggle, we're just tryna beat the odds
Seen the world around me, mama praying that I dodge
[Verse 2: ChéVon]
Now before you get your name on a bullet
Thinking bout your future, it's a shame that you couldn't
Now you seem lost and it seems nobody's looking
All you have is thoughts, funny how you paid the cost
When it wasn't meant for you
If his day went great, then he probably wouldn't shoot
There would be no morning news
But in life you win or lose, some battle you can't choose
Looking to the sky, asking what can God do
But we never ask ourselves, continue to stack our pride
Like it's trophies on a shelf
Niggas that's down to ride, but none of them down to help
First time I stepped outside, I was never told it's hell
Now I'm confined in this world that we live
Slowly figured out some adults are grown kids
He was just a child, simple to of mice and men
Saw his niggas, cracked a smile
Only just to wish it jammed
See the world in my eyes
Just to wonder who I am..
[Hook: ChéVon]
I believe in fate, I believe in God
I believe in humans, we just never do our jobs
Every day's a struggle, we're just tryna beat the odds
Seen the world around me, mama praying that I dodge
[Verse 3: ChéVon]
The streets are watching, cops are coming
Get pots and cover, as shot will wander
We plot on brothers, stop each other
Forgot our mothers, forgot our sisters
Forgot to listen, forgot our vision
Remember we never had a pot to piss in
Yet they expect optimism
Opt for television
Then blame Wayne, for how hot the block is getting
Where's my redemption
To only touch a soul is my intention
The people are my religion
And so I put faith in them
Whisper these hymns
And give these false fication of problems
We are free to them
Now go and tell your children
Along with a smile is a Radiant Child!
