Just Being Jake: Song Lyrics, "Place of Shelter"

74 9 4
                                    

Chorus

Miles and miles I've been searching for a place of shelter

Some of the things are hard to speak on and muster

Looking straight at the difference from a dollar to another

 It's like it is with my unbiological brothers

Verse 1

In the streets and hood people are misunderstood

People just tryna do good

Separating the emotion that the world took

Paint inside bottles and sprayed on the walls to express it

I can tell how they convey it

Cuz like them I was classified as the rebel

Outcasted to my creativity as it felt like I fell

Brought to the sidelines cuz of my birthmark, I thought oh what a spell

Back then lonliness shook as I was in my dark room

Picking up the bowl of cereal with my spoon

Turned on those saturday morning cartoons

Took my mind off the problems

Verse 2

And afterwards..I'd sit there and think of how to solve them

Thinkin' what does it take for one to blend in

Like I were to go and put quarters in the tin

My mind got restless

So I opened up my notebook for entertainment purposes

Writing stories that filled through my membrane, and that was the green crest

Gemini birthstone I was born to and connected with

And the lord with me as I held my hands

No romances till college

Quiet at the time cuz I felt out of place

A heart so genuine if you look in my face

I always try to bring that smile out

Even if inside I wasn't feeling it

Holding doors open for people

I believe in being a gentleman

Not to get attention, I want to feel good by making someone smile

Chorus

Miles and miles I've been searching for a place of shelter

Some of the things are hard to speak on and muster

Looking straight at the difference from a dollar to another

 It's like it is with my unbiological brothers

Verse 3

I look at myself then and now I feel so blessed

Standing on the ground when the storms were blowing East

I feel now I'm touching the landscape of my dreams

I have an amazing lady I love

Got my family

And I got my friends and brothers, we're a team

The sun shining through the clouds with beams

I can see lord God is blessing me

Truly answering my prayers

Heart being sewed from the emotional tears

My arms feeling like they got more strength to write

Finger tips moving fast as I go through the remebrance

Verse 4

Having fun pursuing the purest artform

My eyes going through stories as I was right there in the past

Life goes fast

That's why you got to put it in your hands

Slow things down and learn patience

Then the level of you and the world will be on the same tense

Past is our past to learn from

I know life gets worry some

Trying to search for that breath in your lungs

Making your stomach hurt so much you need tums

Think with your heart, soul, and mind

You'll find the word love on the same line

Chorus

Miles and miles I've been searching for a place of shelter and now I got it

Some of the things are hard to speak on and muster still

Looking straight at the difference from a dollar to another

 It's like it is with my unbiological brothers
