Just another day in the life of the S.I.V./ Keep my face to the light cuz yeah yall know me/
Never phony when I walk this world so lonely/ but when I need my crew for sure Deepspace hold me/
Always keep my eyes open cuz there’s more to see/ than all the people wearing blinders making more than me/
Got me driving 50 miles in my S.U.V./ every day to make a paycheck for my family/
But that’s cool I’m no fool and I possess the tools/ for success in the stress without bending the rules/
I went to school down in Florida beaches and pools/ but didn’t graduate from college though my knowledge is full/
And complete beat the concrete paving the streets/ for a job or a career in an industry/
That’s unique in a field that agrees with me/ but I fail to find anyone that believes in me/
Come one come all whether you’re short or tall/ step right up don’t stall/
Cuz whether you’re right or wrong or your fight is gone/ you gotta get back up when you fall/
Flat on my back alas my vitals intact/ haven’t registered what happened or how to react/
Should I try to stand up or should I sit back/ and ponder the real truth to understand this fact/
Cuz all I know is that I feel pain where my heart is at/ the hurt is mental not cardiac but still I rack/
My brain to maintain and I struggle and strain/ to figure thangs and the reason why I came up lame/
No one to blame but self when I’m freezing the frames/ of the events that occurred just to rid me of fame/
Only the name of the Most High cleanse me of shame/ and I’m a praise Him everyday if it’s all the same/
So I get back on my horse and hit the streets again/ no longer worry about fronting for approval of men/
With my eyes on the Most High keep His spirit with in/ let Him orchestrate my journey wrapped in folds of ten/
Come one come all whether you’re short or tall/ step right up don’t stall/
Cuz whether you’re right or wrong or your fight is gone/ you gotta get back up when you fall/
Last call cuz we all just be playing the wall/ and act like nothing’s going on underlining it all/
But it takes energy and motion if we’re moving a ball/ and sometimes we try to stand up though we’re learning to crawl/
Cuz that’s the short and the small of it take fruit from all of it/ life in abundance simple living keep it moderate/
That’s the big and tall of it make sure you’re all in it/ and give up your big britches theories on dominance/
It’s all providence that keeps me alive/ and justifies affiliation with Deepspace5/
I’m gonna love my nine brothers ‘til the day that I die/ for helping me push through when I struggle and strive/
Cuz survival is the key when circumstance is running it/ dumbing it down having trouble finding the fun in it/
The more you’re blessed the more often you’re on the hunting list/ the heavens are open Jehovah reign down some Son on it/
Come one come all whether you’re short or tall/ step right up don’t stall/
Cuz whether you’re right or wrong or your fight is gone/ you gotta get back up when you fall/
I’ve been rockin Ozay Moore’s music since Lightheaded and I still find it some of the best to listen to. I can’t get enough boom nap, especially with a central theme of Christ and his faithfulness in the life of Ozay Moore. It also features some dope artists on this one. The intro is one of the best introductions to an album I’ve heard, and I don’t say that lightly. Each track is its own thing, yet blending well together. It’s overall just dope! Macklyn
