Flex: “The Message”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

Always been seen
A certain way
Expected to be
The same played out play

But what you see
Might actually
Be a mirage
Of how I really am

Another side
Is buried inside
Waiting to get out
Only most don’t know

Being front and center
Has its drawbacks
People whisper
Yeah, real wacked

You’re the ones
Who come off
Completely fake
Ready to stab me in the back

This ain’t a game
I want anymore
Time to be true
Instead of your cure

Can’t be everything
For ya’ ll 24/7
Yeah my wings break
Longing for an escape

It’s like a character
Who changes before our eyes
Done taking calls
Ready to live or die

That’s me to a tee
On this hot summer night
Just let me be free
Like a flock of seagulls in full flight

I want to fight
For what I believe in
Time to make it right
Instead of wondering what could’ve been

So go ahead
Do what you do best
And laugh it up
For God sakes give it a rest

Flex is ready
To move on from the chaos
Showing ya how heady
Ignoring the murderous

Sometimes you gotta
Remember who you are
Yeah rise up
And be that star

I’ll be the one
Flying real high
Lighting shit up
No asking why

The kid who never forgot
Where he came from
Ready to get caught up
And be the prodigal Jew son

Long overdue
To get back to my roots
It never died
Deep down I always knew

Let this be a message
A sign of things to come
Cause I’m moving forward
Like the chosen one

Gonna be wild
The rest of the way
I’m rolling the dice
Doing things my way
