Lyrics

Regurgitated facts lack the depth of perception
we chasing
AYo … They demonize the Haitian
Erasing vital histories
Bleed a needed misery
Maintain refrains I recite
straight from memory
Style rudimentary
Content exemplary
Life don’t make no sense to me.
My minds it’s own entity
Exist thru eternity
A voice is pure energy
Battered by existence
We changed fundamentally
Transmitting memories
Mastery of speech leaves little room for error
Retraced my final steps on initial endeavor
Would rather spark a movement
than be a trendsetter
Pounds for my brethren, we all in together.
Boycott these bloated fish
time to add pressure
These… drastic times multiplied by drastic measures.
Algebraic math casts truth numerically
Modern day phoenicians
they speak phonetically
Genetically I’m prone to grow my anger exponentially
Keep testing me
see if I act sensibly
A few spit that real
but they lack the complexity.
… they ain’t ready b
If you ain’t here to uplift
then I’m severring
Fuck the dumb shit
I ain’t settling
No time for the trash
that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I’m better than?
…And I Ain’t even trying to sound ominous
No need to assert dominance
Distain for normalcy well documented
Conformity constantly circumvented
Stand on yo word and business
as if you meant it!
Consider this the last sentence.
     Next paragraph indented.
Certain situations require chin-checking
No time to decipher your mixed message.
At times the only way through grew from re-setting It’s they lack of dedication that I’m Re-jecting
The lesser path can always seem a bit tempting
We BUILT for struggle
subtle nods to those producing light
Not just re-flecting.
We see sections
interconnected
Beautiful imperfections
Strength tested with tension
We the culmination of your misconceptions
Defined existence can always change with perception Regardless of Intention
The world you built can be dismantled in seconds.
If you ain’t here to uplift
then I’m severing
Fuck the dumb shit
I ain’t settling
No time for the trash
that they peddling
Why the fuck would I bow when I’m better than?
