Lyrics

[Intro]

Fluidity

A spectrum

From one end to the other

Just like butter

[Verse 1]

It's spread and smothered

Like, on your bread it's covered

I don't need your jam to recover from what you said was dry

Because I, you see

Can and will use all means necessary

To make us see eye to eye

See, eyes don't see eye

Then cry looking up to the sky wondering "why

[Verse 2]

Why I, why mine

My happiness" but you're blind

And didn't you say that was bliss

Sis, I'm confused

But I'd rather be that than used

Unapproved

[Verse 3]

But you proved that you will bend to all their rules

While I bend the rules

You're sitting up on their stools

Being spoon fed

[Verse 4]

They're adjusting your seat level

And telling you go to bed

Making you comfortable enough to

Deepen your slumber

[Verse 5]

To deep end your followers

Keep stems of your problems

Weaken, now your crumbling

Peep in to your trauma

And creep into your struggles

[Verse 6]

Now, it's the end

You're abducted

And flung across the universe

Tell me if it hurts when you hit the other end of the Spectrum

Fluidity

[Verse 7]

"Run!", I was instructed

At the sound of the gun

I sunk back into my seat nibbling on what was left to eat

The door swung wide

[Verse 8]

But little did I know it wasn't open for me

But still I jumped to my feet

When I heard that door creak

While I'm mesmerized they fetishize that moment in the spotlight

[Verse 9]

When I reach my hand out

It seeps through the bars

Like my bars, like carbon monoxide

By that time you'll realize

It's too late

'Cause you thought that while I'm in this cage

I awaited my shine

And sadly reached my peak

Or rather my plateau

[Verse 10]

Little did you know that the ceiling was too low for me

It occurred to me that perhaps my way up

Is my my way through

Like, remember in those cartoons

Where we'd get confused

[Verse 11]

Like look at this dude, he only has like two bars

But I can still see his way through

What a fool

That's what us artists think of ourselves

We're not selfish enough

I cry on these 4 steel walls but they'll get rusted

While you come up to me asking

"I'm surprised, are you still doing this music thing"

I contemplate replying like

[Verse 12]

"I'm surprised that emotionally you haven't spontaneously combusted"

So yes, I'm still doing this music thing

And when you just hear me rap and sing

You forget you're blocking out your vision

While I have a 3rd sense feeling that I'm sprouting wings

[Verse 13]

From the outside, you hear it

But from the inside, you see it from within you can feel it

It all just depends on your perspective

So, I just gotta stop feeling down irrespective

Of the collective going ahead of me 'cause to be honest

It's not them that's making me feel this way or trapped to go figure

I guess it's just me looking in a stagnant mirror
