Gifted & Afflicted
In the blink of an eye, you or I could gain our wings
So live everyday like a caged bird that still sings
Allowing nothing or anyone to steal your joy
Some entities are enemies with malicious ploys
Ahoy brothas and sistas from different misters
Times are rife with strife and sinister agendas
Pretenders make it hard to discern what's truly real
Turmoil inserts like a knife and hinder how fast we heal
Gotta deal with the low blows hitting where it hurts
Like words some spew at you that deeply cuts
No matter what we go through a few have it worse
With afflictions of conditions like their souls are cursed
So live everyday like a caged bird that still sings
Allowing nothing or anyone to steal your joy
Some entities are enemies with malicious ploys
Ahoy brothas and sistas from different misters
Times are rife with strife and sinister agendas
Pretenders make it hard to discern what's truly real
Turmoil inserts like a knife and hinder how fast we heal
Gotta deal with the low blows hitting where it hurts
Like words some spew at you that deeply cuts
No matter what we go through a few have it worse
With afflictions of conditions like their souls are cursed

Great flow as always dude, as far as unity music has fulfilled it's mission and broken the harmony. Tight
