lyrics

certain issues can't be addressed
cause certain wounds still can't be dressed
its rot from the root
spoiled milk from the breast
ancestral tensions
predecessors passed down stress
Anansi spun a web in my ear
the thread was tough as diamond
laced with cataclysmic fear
the rhymin' more than any one person could bear
channeled it thru drums no q-tip could pierce
synapses shot off
images appeared
molded, crafted the diction to give you what you hear
take it in verbatim
no equatin' or conflatin' just appreciatin'
the lyrical beast locked in my mind's basement
go get the gimp you simp
fill you with elation
caught covid in East Hollywood
no more parties in L.A.
listenin' to ye is a form of self hate
my name engraved
the tomes you writ don't exist
that's an unmarked grave
tryna move on
only the gale of a hurricane capable of turnin' this page
i was in another world yesterday
feet steppin' gingerly on diamonds and pearls
tryna find my way back to this place
trapped in a world bathed in gray
Morpheus' gate guarded by a beast of my own creation
all my fears and failures formed singular
a colossal culmination
saw my minds escape a fittin' place for gestation
how heinous
it was there and then i knew Eden wasn't elysian
no wheat fields of hangin' gardens
just power lines hangin' over shitty garden apartments
i could weep
but alas i catch some Z's
at last my mind is free
what a revelation
