Verse 1
Lately I've been in the dark
So many dark clouds around me I needed
People to bring me an extra spark
To hold the light closer to my heart
I can't draw but I've been trying to
Draw people to the stage
As I usher people to a newer age
Richie what's up with all the inner rage
I've been trying to break people
Out of their mental cages
But first Richie had to go through some inner
Stages, flip a couple pages, and lead the people
Through the mazes, some times the light
Can be evasive but once I found the key
I found a better me a better life for Richie
I'm telling people to drop the Hennessey
And follow me because I believe that I
Have a greater destiny it's Richie's responsibility
To usher in a winning mentality
Verse 2
Lately its been me against the world
Sometimes I just hurt from the core
As it gets harder for me to ignore
All the things that I'm forced to endure
I've cried within the darkest moments
While trying to find the light
A flashlight, a spark, some kind of device
To enlighten the world
Like a candle on hand
I'm just one man doing all that he can
Just making amends with the man
In the mirror just to see clearer
Because deep inside is a fear
from deep inside eating me alive
I'm just trying to be the greatest
As people reread and re rate this
Verse 3
I sit inside of my room
Blowing off the rust of my notepad
As the dust from the north wind
Hits the window pane
But no one knew that Richie was
In pain praying to God
Was his only option
Yeah Richie they mocked him
But still I give them the greatness
Of hospitality perhaps that was
Just on me and my perception of reality
So many haters trying to get under my skin
All I needed was a friend by my side
Too many people are quick to judge
Not even knowing what the play book even was
I tried telling the world about how I felt
But no one wanted to listen but instead
Proceeded to hit me below the belt
I had to look deep inside of myself
And say that I'm enough
