Whisper to the Wind (Ft. Ladyface)

from Sonic Therapy: Missed the Cut Vol​.​1 by Ngajuana

/

lyrics

They wanna know how I do what I do, I speak truths,
And whisper to the wind hoping my pain speaks to,
You, and if you’re listening my mission is done,
Even if I’m only reaching to one,
They wanna know how I do what I do, I speak truths,
And whisper to the wind hoping my pain speaks to,
You, and if you’re listening my mission is done,
Even if I’m only reaching to one.

I shoot for the stars my future’s looking bright as the sun,
Cause my words are the knife used to shank life in the lungs,
I live to create, and more important, live what I say,
Never one to live in the past, man, I live for today,
Scream in my head mumble my speech, a man of extremes,
Tough guy when I’m awake, but I can’t handle my dreams,
And it seems, that the seam’s about to burst any second,
Cause my gift weighs upon me like a curse, any questions?
Yeah, why ain’t I made it, when, the way I play with, words,
Differs in a manner that is creative,
My heart’s in the pages, eternal life’s achieved,
Mama raised a hell-raiser now mom’s afraid of me,
He, who is I, only needs to succeed,
Cause to tell the truth, I’m weary of this living I lead,
Decisions I made, parlayed into visions I speak,
In Braille paint, it ain’t me if it isn’t unique.

They wanna know how I do what I do, I speak truths,
And whisper to the wind hoping my pain speaks to,
You, and if you’re listening my mission is done,
Even if I’m only reaching to one…

Sleep comes slow, not like speech comes to these drums flow,
My best dreams turn bad as the scenes unfold,
I can’t hide from my conscience, so he’s on hold,
I can’t hide from my monsters, or they’ll eat my soul,
With my tears in the soil, my seeds might grow,
To be proud of the way their dad, achieved my goals,
I continue to get better with each I wrote,
Of course I’m referencing these letters it is these I know,
So I sit and write and revise, and breathe hydro,
Take a second to close these eyes, and see my shows,
Plans I devise, so that like a breeze I blow,
I heard a whisper in the wind so to the breeze I spoke,
I told the story of my life but didn’t read from notes,
I shot the breeze, so to speak, and it eased my ghost,
I read from rote, the details, on these I dote,
Painting in Braille til my easel broke.
