Lyrics

Written in the stars? This shit is a mirage
One minute you’re advanced then hidden in the grass
Now your brightest ideas are the dimmest in the class
You sober up, see your uncle living in his car
You would help him out but you’re the splitting image of your father
So giving is a task, but maybe you can do this mission in a mask
It’s a waste of time thinking of the past
You’re paying mind to figures in the dark, you’re scared of them?
Compared to them, we were flipping in the Gaza
While they could pour a small glass, sipping on the drama
They say what we’re witnessing is karma
'The guilty wouldn't be so aggressive, the innocent are calmer'
Telling me to smile while I grimace at disaster
Finishing your masters, your dinner and your afters
I’m sitting with my guard up
Work hard but it's hard luck, my skin is dark, blud
That means you know who I am before I talk, right?
And you propose I was damaged at the source, right?
You get family support, I support mine
No hand-outs, had to force mine
The day I get bored I’m borderline
Everyday trauma, normalized
3 options: music, sport or crime
The day I get bored I'm borderline
3 options: music, sport or crime
