Big Mic - Stuck in My Ways Lyrics

I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
Complacency will your dreams before a hater gets a chance
Aimlessly is how you wander, when you're stuck up in a trance
Ashamedly I know it's true, cause once I too had worn those pants
We're just trying to make this money, now we're back from circumstance
Yeah we're back, no more stripes up on our back
But that collar's still attached, our livelihood under attack
What's up with that?
I'm dishonest cause I'm black?
That mentality's a trap
I'm just trying to bridge the gap
Between the worlds we live in, why can't we just coexist
They kill and cage our children, so that's why we raise our fist
They play us like some villains, waiting for the slightest twitch
Just take your phone, film it, and then exercise your fifth
I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
Burn me in the fire and watch me rise just like a Phoenix
I know you're getting tired, but your life it still has meaning
I'm not Richard Pryor, hope this satire got you feeling
That you can fly higher, you're the one you sets the ceiling
Break out your ways and cut your ties to the past
Your mind made the chains, so just go and make them glass
Push through the pain, and I promise you'll surpass
Every single thing that you thought would hold you back
I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
I'm just stuck in my ways
Fighting for a brighter day
Get myself up out the shade
Know I'm going to make a change
I'm just stuck in my ways
Catch me walking through the flames
Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze
I can see through the haze
