soot 02:14
I found home laying in the wreckage Bed riddden, but keep the smile on my face despite my suffrage Searching for alchemy, find me with my compass Bag man, you gon hurt your back, I can’t put down my luggage Tell me what you live for Do you dream about riches I do it for my plight, not for them niggas that’s avaricious All my life I had to fight, my eyesight colored purple My vision could only be described as vicious Me and shemar like Gil Scott and Brian Jackson Winter in America, we still building bridges Only time I can meditate is when the spliff lit Moms my word is bond, I’m not here thugging But many times I ponder if I should start hustling Stomach grumbling, shit like a earthquake I keep on running back to my mistakes content hella dehumanizing as comparison // unironic “where’s my hug?” exchange passing glances // what’s said on the internet equivalent exchange evidence // mirage under technicolor polluted skyline // from bird’s illusion my crowd small as ant’s antenna // dandelions still foxtrot fireflies // “necessary evil,” every compromise // like alisa useda call me king after i told her ion fuck with that // wishful thinking // i’m muse for fetish bones // musing my fetish though // inventing dreams where there were once people // no dead man truly abandoned // escapade weaponized escape // black matrix fulcrum // my summer home maroon fortress // veins full of weapons // if i’m going down // they world to soot with me // and i’m hurting //

you can hold me // this my moment though, homie // I stare at the mirror as my image glistens Pissing away my problems from the last day We far from the shit that haunts us, but the trauma still stays And the earth always rotates, it never delays like the mta I had to be my own savior, fuck a white man with a cape Manifest destiny, I’m in control of my fate shemar and Cinema You could tell we read our literature You can’t minuscule us, we just keep on leveling up Niggas with locs, looking for the key I have to emcee until all my people free Consider me a lyrical refugee It was never easy, it took effort and copious amounts of weed Shot the sheriff, only because I missed the fucking deputy I control the speed of my feet, I know that’s why they envy White family asked if I was related to bob Marley I walked on by, didn’t give them glance, I’m not sorry They love my culture, but let me step in the room and I’ll fuck up the mood of the party flex bombs over williamsburg // told kova she breadwinner // ‘til the death of us // whichever kind first // my will one-storied word // whoever kept me for secure // vestiges fuel bonfire further // sexting latex condoms // glory just a prank // stubborn, so every stone throw head first // i’m my biggest critic // complain long enough magic resurrect just to prove a point // glory just a prank // 22, semi-content yearning home // like 4, booster seat slow jamz // i gotta pee! i gotta pee! i gotta pee! // bridge between misheard and mistake a good sense // money made kept me from remembering // sharkboy and lavagirl linden cinema plex // 3d event // now unimpressed, her hand outstretched //
