Peripheral Lyrics by Lyriqs

2018

Verse 1 -Lyriqs
Eyes focused ,but i see it out my peripheral
Movements visceral
Fear got us miserable
Slave to these chambers aimed by my neighbors imprisoned by 4 walls
Those clips hold anger
The pusha of their malice
So the danger is so callous
Authority unbalanced a slave to their status
So is it a right if I'm forced to be silent
If I speak up I'm treated like a tyrant
Eye lids covering my iris
Death is the virus
Retaliation so desirous
But my faith is my price
But this fear is my vice
They don't value my life
They don't value my wife
Children under strife
We all live this life
We all pay the price
So my shoulder cold
Got this heat to make water out of ice
So we wade through rivers
Run from triggers
Snap chat these pictures
Then snap back black
With the wall against our back
While all I want to do is live daily to my scriptures
Keeping faith that these sins aren't a permanent fixture
Only seen for a percentage of my heritages mixture
It's the shade of my picture that determines theses burdens got my ancestors still hurting
These generations ain't learning they yearning for a easy way out
Speaking gibberish from their mouth
Leaving futures in doubt
Walking with idiot boxes in their pockets
Hands always reaching for a socket
Another case on the docket feeding the profit instead of heeding a prophet they slave for profit
The root of all evil imprisoned so many people
It's lethal how they divide the equals my skin is illegal all behind a image of eagle
I guess my free is just fecal
Matter of fact still got these chains on my back accounts stayed hacked
Every movement is tracked
Ignorance is the new crack, they wonder why we keep going back, I ain't going back, laces tight I'm trying to stay on track

Hook
I'm just trying keep my mind
I just want to see the sun
Shine my light until my time
Tell my shorty she's a dime
Say a prayer for my mother and forgive my own father
Hopefully I can keep it going , maybe I can keep it growing , maybe I can keep going

Chorus -
Love, Peace, Work, Grind
Zone out for a little bring peace to my mind

Verse 2 Black Los
We endure suffering take a couple buffering
Everyday struggle don’t it seem i got enough of em
(Oh) daily practicing behavior acting positive action
Praying I don’t relapse again (oh)
I seen signs from the sages while avoiding jail cages
Or the spray from 12 gauges
Another rat race or we just running through the mazes
And infer red lasers and the cops with the tasers
And the Kevlar vest I felt compressed
Might get a little sleep but I can’t unrest
I survived in these classes but they can’t non test
If you ain’t working with your faith then you can’t non bless
You can’t beast mode in life with a cheat mode
Your car might get repo’d you might miss a free throw
And everybody want the top spot
Your close friends is cold on you when your not hot
And that’s the signs of the times
Purple rain controversy on my mind when I rhyme
And that’s the signs of the times
Purple rain controversy on my mind when I rhyme

Hook
I'm just trying keep my mind
I just want to see the sun
Shine my light until my time
Tell my shorty she's a dime
Say a prayer for my mother and forgive my own father
Hopefully I can keep it going , maybe I can keep it growing , maybe I can keep going

Chorus -
Love, Peace, Work, Grind
Zone out for a little bring peace to my mind
