I face the gravity As rain falls I keep growing Agility to reach touch of the all knowing I feel my blood flowing I seen the floods showing Lakes of mud with a clutch of the cold holding a photo of the past I brush the lens to snap a picture My fragile heart to embark through the told scripture through the old mister I got ask some questions How come my frame of mind ain’t always open to the lessons ? I always count blessings As if my problems lessen I’m open to suggestions maybe need some soul searching... maybe need some soul searching... maybe need some... The world was built in 7 days and 5 of mine I hate I wake everyday thinking this could be the day that things change striving to attain coz I feel strange not so evident mistakes on the path for better days Maybe they today ? how to elevate I sit and meditate J smoke to medicate faint glow dedicate this to the ones who bake Lounging getting lost in these scripts Praying for the hate to end Love transcends all the evil in the end Navigate the bends different journey to ascend Hope u getting to comprehend Ye I gotta represent... What a shame I put my hands together still I caught nothing but rain My mama told me giving is a way to heal the pain I do what I believe in perseverance is my aim But distractions keep on stacking in abundance since days I decided on my fate writing music to create Animations of the ways that the thoughts that fill my brain Building up my frame Baring burdens of buzzy blazing up the stupid game play stupid games ? win stupid prizes

Illustrations feel like I been at this its been Hazardous Hardly Worth the waiting still glad ass shit Immaculate amalgamation chapters of the god they couldn’t pattern with A stencil Forms with lead in pencils Nu credentials Got the mental healthy eating beans and lentils Counting like a abacus My younger pop a fast gas in robbed yoke pull a Lazarus Out the dirt Rise to the occasion calculation the Purse Pull a blade to just like the purge This lickle faze of shadow work Don’t come at me with lil fry shit The underground ShakaXhosa Tossing up the vibes get aligned with ya mind From eyes actualise what you confined in They pulling down your blinds Extra movement of the negative Thoughts plague my mind Like a thick cloud imperative Overwhelmed I sense I drop a line just like sedative ..Caught in cobra grip Lost when the nova slid Boxed in a hopeless rig Toxins control the kids Hook They wanna feel ( it ) so they gotta listen Large inscriptions God will prolly place it into rhyme tradition Signs and Symbols Mindless systems Locked inside this loop it’s like timeless prison Situation blues feel like my life is ticking Bridge Blurry my vision I visit stated in mind I’m imprisoned Pressing for freedoms enlisting Listings of scenarios visions Looping and cutting and twisting Bringing me back to the past Forming condition revisions Hoping the dopamine last Just as he commanded The rancid outlandish army marksmen with the vantage Stealth as the advantage Man that meets the savage Conquer with ambition still the price is high on average Focusing on releasing pull the crease bellow the rifle blow shots to the spiral down the rabbit hole The vapid role it differs as deafening engaging takes a tole Rules holding up the codes queues filling up the hold Black mould grows close to where the door closed Holster the alarm getting close to where gawd shows Presents copacetic signs so great you can’t forget boy forget they don’t get it I’ll be there when they forget it Got it threaded in my melon melanated as the moon howls Back to black skin Lost in the futile African with action Latching on spirit like the Spartans are his faction What’s happening Greeted by a mean frown Standing on a swing yelling nigga who the king now Throwing up the crown to sun Breaking from the fast for the hunt Twisting up the last blunt

Making up for stolen time Exercise the thoughts of lust Running round in circles like a gerbil till my ankles bust Chiselled from the orange dust Peeling from this skin of lust Meetings bout the fruits we bare Circles of the truth and trust Deep into a desperate lunge burst a lung into my breath I took a plunge Let the waters carry me and soak it up my soul a sponge Subtleties of simple living Got me giving life the Knucks Rolling up Fold to nothing but the hidden secrets let the brain erupt Pouring with the vibrant sums Took me home and saw the slums Nothing really worthy seeming wordy but The feels run Easy as sound of the crickets creaking through the darkness comes Freedom that they never earned All the history they burned Got my niggas lost at times we fill the void with no concern chugging rum like fuck the world Let the world turn Better days as the ceiling burns Treading roads with dirt for turns Tell em wait your turn While we moving closer to the urn Tell em what you heard Hollering and Frivolous concern What the passage yearns Out convention coz the past is cursed Shit they can’t reverse Shall they answer to the universe ? Cosmic forces heard Hook: Making up for stolen time Exercise the thoughts of lust Running round in circles like a gerbil till my ankles bust Chiselled from the orange dust Peeling from this skin of lust Meetings bout the fruits we bare Circles of the truth and trust Verse: Through singing of the burning bird Digging up the bones of ancient Idols got the cycles of the past reversed Heed the search for better with respect we represent the earth Ancestors of the anthology Psychology and Structure of economic Education scholarly Bother me in high regards Astral planning to the stars Like I’m king tchala they prepared me for my rarest form Strength to speak for reason as we standing tall against the storms Dealings with pressure and the heat my heart is feeling warm Shoulder for a shoulder I been here to animate the core Let this living take its course Eating pap and Beiravorse Yield to source Seen discourse Not the same Questions gather who to blame It’s all a game Playing with my peoples lives Juggling the sharpeend knifes Tugging strings of who survives Got seeing through they lies Wisdom sits beyond the eyes Paradises parralise Parodix I’m in my pair for plots I’m tryna empathise

I found a link between us that retreats us to the source bliss feelings I been feeling lately creeping I avoid it Fill the void bit Asteroid splits Cosmo void sits Calculations in my voyage ship Surf and turf ship Knighted by the kings Since little a little kid Carry the duality of the upper hand sits Way beyond mist Set the tone shifts Thoughts of time ghosts Got my mind woke When combined quotes hold the words close Dripped out the boat Lists to console Build overthrow My whits at the store Dreams on the door Crawling picking link off the floor Thoughts designate Plays populate Had to grab a play What’s at play Got me losing faith But beyond that Verbal contracts Tryna combat Set aside my myself and felt the feelings that where felt when the wand snapped Life beyond acts Life beyond illusion when the bonds latch Felt the dawn cast Catch 22 breaking up the days Splitting from past and setting vision through the maze It’s hard in this condition stepping up to shift my pace Breaking through the repetition building with the days

Take my time mind like a code Feel like Ive grown in the way I chose Fishing for salmon the lake just froze Digging for gold not the motive or goal Working for what ? Impressions of who ? Think bout the times when we hadnt a clue Serving the tapes like dishes of the stew build with the crew like everyone knew where the sunshine bloomed Years start changing Plans get moved Times get dark Giving my life in the light of this art Pushing to start after passing the mark Playing my part Looking around Vision confusions Im searching through crowds Souring in planes Billing the zoot got me peeling my brain Healing the pain Drip with the rain Everything gone Feel like I’m crazy I'm writing these songs Easing and calm Clogging confessions the weight of the um What’s is he on? Nothin u on Leading my life in the midst of the storm of comforming reporting when stitches record I’m cutting the cord Swing the sword with the strength of the lord Life so cheap Dipping in values but value the pain The niggas is sleep Counting the sheep Reaching the peak like I'm breaching the grain Say I can’t sleep coz times been peak Sow what u reap Healing through wisdom and words niggas speak Leaping for reach Nova like meech Hook Find my self when I roll roll up Find my self when I sleep Find my mind gets tired Aint clocked out since last week Placing my hand on the bible Pledge that I stay me Flaming it up like a pyro But the biro write for peace Bridge Cold like calling pick up the phone Searching for answers missing in to e Can’t find nun so I had to get zoned Can’t find nun leave me alone Think to myself Stuckin a mode Waiting for food since a money was shown Passing the trauma the test of the road The chest with the code key of the cold Hook Find my self when I roll roll up Find my self when I sleep Find my mind gets tired Aint clocked out since last week Placing my hand on the bible Pledge that I stay me Flaming it up like a pyro But the biro write for peace
