R.IA - Eternal Youth (feat. Soulis) Lyrics

Yeah
It's RIA
Eternal

This song is for everybody out there like me
In Chicago trying to make it

I been having dreams every night about playing stages & catching flights
Voracious musical appetite, I write a feast & ain't satisfied
Each idea like dynamite, in constant shifting paradigms
My bars go deep, I turned the tide, the God in me still burning bright

Xenophobian apartheid, divide the world into black & white
Mothers struggling to survive in a city wrought with drugs & crime
Politicians act so polite, then turn around & watch countries fight
I try to spread the love despite the constant lies they all recite

But what if the love is a phase, fleeting 'cause humans be stuck in they ways
Leave a heart cold with no trace, dropping the ball 'cause ain't nothing to play
Keep the steel tucked under waist, same oppression different day
The masses are stuck in a daze, fiending for pleasure 'cause that's an escape

Lose courage as soon as they age, the government told them to stay in one place
The music is keeping me sane, building a vision, I'm done contemplating
The state of the world got me anxious, know that I got a lot on my plate
My passion could never fade, know that I'll always have something to say

We have endless potential, most of the battle is mental
Come take my hand & we'll fly, leave the systemic behind
Sometimes we need to cry
Such is the battle of life

We have endless potential, most of the battle is mental
Come take my hand & we'll fly, leave the systemic behind
Sometimes we need to cry
Such is the battle of life

I been having dreams every night about playing stages & catching flights
The day my vision's actualized, I know I'll be in paradise
When your soul is a source of light, they try to keep your force confined
Women hypersexualized, reduced to bones & cellulite

But when I get up, know my sisters will be at my side
Forget competition, all women deserve to feel pride
If you a misogynist, know that I'm cutting all ties
Cause feminine energy closest thing to the Divine

Don't look around for love, you'll find it within
Once you accept yourself, then you'll know where to begin
It's all about where you going, not just where you been
Pay too much mind to the pressure, you'll spread yourself thin

Start to plan a vendetta, RIA craving revenge
Gotta focus on the present if you want to win
I'm not concerned with trends, I'm not concerned with friends, nah
I got mistakes to mend, I got a dream to defend, yea

We have endless potential, most of the battle is mental
Come take my hand & we'll fly, leave the systemic behind
Sometimes we need to cry
Such is the battle of life

We have endless potential, most of the battle is mental
Come take my hand & we'll fly, leave the systemic behind
Sometimes we need to cry
Such is the battle of life
