S On My Chest
It's easier to say I'm OK than to display my true emotions
Even with my heart in a state of decay, I make no commotion
As I transition from one tribulation on to the next
It takes amalgamation to determine if I'm vexed
There's no S.O.S when I'm distressed and in pain
Even when depressed I continue to press on in my lane
Trying to refrain from going insane or crashing & burning
There are lessons in the testing is what I'm discerning
Journeying through the peaks, valleys and cold alleys
Trying to evade the pouring rain unlike in southern Cali
Where Tony, Toni, Toné told me is the place to be
But I've never been to Cali; I'm a brotha from D.C.
Courageously cruising over speed bumps and bumpy roads
Playing the cards I'm dealt rather than choosing to fold
Although, it does get old fighting unrelenting stress
I'm a super man but goddamn there's no S on my chest
Even with my heart in a state of decay, I make no commotion
As I transition from one tribulation on to the next
It takes amalgamation to determine if I'm vexed
There's no S.O.S when I'm distressed and in pain
Even when depressed I continue to press on in my lane
Trying to refrain from going insane or crashing & burning
There are lessons in the testing is what I'm discerning
Journeying through the peaks, valleys and cold alleys
Trying to evade the pouring rain unlike in southern Cali
Where Tony, Toni, Toné told me is the place to be
But I've never been to Cali; I'm a brotha from D.C.
Courageously cruising over speed bumps and bumpy roads
Playing the cards I'm dealt rather than choosing to fold
Although, it does get old fighting unrelenting stress
I'm a super man but goddamn there's no S on my chest

That ole John Henry curse
Keep pushn a man's limits and testn his capabilities and he keeps pluggn onward
He knows it ain't right
He knows it might kill him
Yet, if he gives up, he feels diminished
And can no longer live with himself
