Real recognize real, you already know the rest
Let's talk about ego death
Found peace in the patterns, WorldPatternz in the flesh
BPD got me twisted but the music's what I bless
Content for the first time, that's strange for my mind
Used to chase the highs and lows, now I'm walking the line
Channeling all this energy, transforming it into rhyme
Every bar a building block, I'm reconstructing my design
Some might misunderstand, twist the words that I speak
But conscious minds know the value of the love we seek
It's about being your own rock, your own savior when shit gets messy
Honestly it's necessary
This clarity I'm speaking from, it cost me everything
Texas memories still echo, but I've learned to make them sing
Loved too damn hard for 7 years, provider was my role
Gave my heart to broken people, nearly sacrificed my soul
But ego death ain't losing self, it's finding who you are
Beneath the masks and expectations, underneath the scars
They say "fake it till you make it" but that's a poisoned well
Real recognize real, and real's got stories to tell
Hit rock bottom in that hotel, her tears couldn't wash away
All the damage that was done by words we didn't say
Thought I was a ghost who I used to be, but ghosts are stuck, stuck haunting the past, and I'm not chasing who I used to be
Mind split, soul rip, couldn't grip reality
Started with blow, spiral down fatality
Crystal meth kept me thin, skeleton mentality
Dancing with demons, lost my humanity
CPS came quick, snatched the kids from sight
While you spread your legs for another man that night
Told you straight up I was losing my damn soul
Body wasting to nothing, out of control
Took care of my son while you ran wild and free
Learned to be a father with no guide but me
Pain hitting triple time, rhythm in my chest
Breakdown, breakdown, put my heart to the test
Left Houston in pieces, Cali called my name
DNA test waiting, would it be the same?
99.8 percent, he's blood of my blood
But three states away when he said his first words, "oh my God"
A flood of emotions hit me, as I missed his first steps first teeth, grief compounding underneath
Everything I built, every sacrifice made
While they twist the story, paint me as the villain in their charade
Lonely nights became my new normal scene
They rewrite history, call me the monster
That broke their family, but I was the one bleeding
All I ever did was love them, now I'm retreating
To find myself again, in these Cali skies
Past the Texas darkness, where my spirit dies
But ego death ain't death, it's rebirth in disguise
Real recognize real, and real's where wisdom lies
Real recognize real, that's the code I live by
Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high
WorldPatternz in the building, never gonna die
From the bottom to the top watch me multiply watch me spread this message watch me touch the sky
Real recognize real, that's the code I live by
Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high
WorldPatternz in the building, never
