Flo State (feat. Ney J)

You know we great emcees over here

Yea

(Everything had changed)

Everything had changed

When the mirror looked in my face

Dropped the desire to chase

Plottin an escape

I hope the wires of this cage

Fold when tryna to break em

Light a sage and write a page of relief

Flamin leaf man I been high for days

Nowadays I like the rain

Never have I seen a sign to wait

But rather mind your pace

Evils got a hypnotizin haze

Never mind the gaze

Tryna stay afloat my spirit roamin

Through this tidal wave

Balance in my soul, my sanity

My pride again

Entire life invested I been stretchin

Through this pocket change

Palm to fist

Write the verse my heart in it

When I refrain, pour a fifth

Haunted by the history

The damage that it caused within

To show a child his family tree

Without the stars and ornaments

Im drowned from what I cant attain

Im underwater snorkelin

I want my grave a monolith

Engrave "I pray that we heal" on the side of it

Bury me in a sacred providence

My vision steady

I walk the road im aligned with

More money, more problems

The drought following by it

When it's gone the other stay

Through the hollow sounds of the opera

They just keep on knocking

Keep on knocking

(They just keep on knockin, ****)

Keep on knocking

Life keep on knocking and

No its not stopping until you get right

Gotta find your way

(They just keep knockin)

Tryna do better

And handle the weather

Its not always sunshine

Take it day by day

Yeah, uh

(Everything the same)

Everything the same till the paint

Bleed from the frame and

The true colors remain

Stained

Assessin' what you left with in vain

Each letter a confession

Unrequited lessons

In the messages I gain

I write this testament to any who relate

To elevate you must measure

The stakes so my measurements made

Prior to entering

We ain't growing with no stencil to trace

All I remember is chasing money

Adrenaline racin

Hoppin fences

Tryna dodge a ticket and

Get to safety when we was babies

Many cold days but the seeds sprout

When seasons change

The world axis rotate

I'm perched at my Flo state

When the earf in a wood

It's an inward portal, a pearly gate

I first understood what I had to lose

Exertion of gratitude

With a purpose to learn the game

Intention to earn a plate over turnin tables

My deck of cards bet against the odds

I'm for certain grateful

When I fall, I surface graceful

Gracious

Soul survivor I'm over thankful

Withhold my prayers and overwrite em

I hope they transfer thru the layers

I can't misuse my faith

I feel I'm losing air

I still got dues to pay

Keep on knocking

Keep on knocking
