lyrics

Verse 1:
I feel my heart congeal and start to freeze/
I fear my heart will peel apart from me/
I feel it parked in these houses, how they treat spouses/
he was blasted across the street/
Im feeling at odds with friends I don’t often see/
Im feeling that y’all condone how the cops did Keith/
(“Nomis why you gotta preach?”)/
I see its cool for me to speak online but not on beats? WORD/
Im feeling at odds at church the Black Sheep Peer/
when folks get back from Pakistan, Iraq, they clap and cheer/
Yeah I’m glad you’re safe/
but I can’t blindly back the praise of actions made when back in action, when I’ve known your ratchet ways and how you acted here/
(But for reals though, Im glad you’re home safe),
Attracting jeers for years/
They’re ravenous, came to battle us/
aim remain the catalyst/
estranged but strangely named the same/
Panic’d and drained/
at these inanimate manikins panning for fame/
I need a healing new hope ‘cause I’m feeling like Anakin/
Im feeling like Darth the Vader is haunting, Vader is taunting/
I gave my concerns then made a response/
They painted my “Nuts”/
I kicked the canvas down, your paint of me sucks/
Im tainted and came to erupt/
On the corrupt I bang/
while bumping Kurupt, they targeted us to hang and named it “War On Drugs”/

Verse 2:
I’ve seen my path, I’m fighting natures call/
Ive seen the Graff the writings on the wall/
Ive seen them ALL scream and shout, how their team is stout/
I dreamed that route but forced to take the scenic/
I dream about my genius how/
A following brings them out, if I turned machine they’d say they seen it/
(Cyborg Terminator) NO, (so turn the fader) SLOW/
And sing this one my son I mean this/
‘Cause you know the King will come before the Kingdom comes/
I saved the fetus, rise through him, MAKE WAY THE PHOENIX/
By the day my seed is hatched imma pray they catch they need this/
Shedding the fat and asking where the meat is/
