Open Palms

Ahh 60

Low fibre no crackle, water being poured

Before the flex there's the breath

Before the bar there's the burden

I open my palms to give, receive, and release

Used to grip the block with a clenched up fist

Now I hold peace, let the tension twist

Still got pain in the chest I ignore

But I breathe through the war lion on the floor

They ask how you pray with your shoes unlaced?

I reply I been runnin from a crooked fate

Now I'm still still broke Nah still bold

My silence louder than your chain's gold

Open palms open heart, let it bleed out slow

World throw punches, I just let that flow

Open palms I don't clutch no fear

Let the spirit guide the wheel, even when it's unclear

I gave love to the wrong hands, watched it rot

Now I bless 'em from afar that's growth on the spot

Used to grip dreams 'til my fingers turned white

Now I plant seeds, let the universe write

I don't beg, I don't borrow, I breathe and build

Balance like the moon when the pressure get real

They reach for guns I reach for calm

That's why I win with these open palms

Some hold grudges

Some hold pain

I hold light

And it holds me back
