The eyes to see hope done grew dim and shrouded
Young lives take a toke in and still be drowning
They don't talk to no friends how they feel about it
Some spend more years than ten tryna heal but how can
-you locate the resources when all you've been taught is
-to bury your trauma and kill the coward
To get out the ends I had to scale the tower
Stood up for myself- used to wilt like flowers
Our trust in parents used to shrink as doubt would come
-whisper to consciences to simmer down
Nah I ain't minimising myself ever
I just touched the heavens
You know the code
They switch up? You cut the tether
Untether, segregate then jettison
Might have to alienate like Ben Tennyson
I've been on the move since a tot
-scratch that- since the cot
On track like I'm Thomas and too lit like Edison
I know that I've got more juice than a Synagogue
I resurrected myself w no rinnegan
Nu'n but the necks of critics I'm stepping on
I swear that all y'all're stagnant like billabongs
Woe betide he who addresses and gets it wrong
Askin, "Where are you?" like your name's Scooby-Doo
-but I'll Tai up ends loose s/o Jetix and Digimon
What'd I do to get it?
Stick to what I know just like Pooh to Piglet
If rumours indicate you the single case losin figures they finna recruit two medics
Can't step on my toes I ain't let em get that near
Can't be on e - 2020 was a lap year
Can't commandeer my boat - to foes man I'm Blackbeard
I'm tryna touch more money than the damn cashier
Flow to the pulse, no bloodclot I
-just know better than most how the spotlight
-can put you behind cold bars - no Klondikes
-but my future bright - I'm reversin a Tron bike
I know now that I can't take a L
I do not accept fifties
I know now my hooks catchy as hell
What I spit's like the bait in some fish teeth
You tyin up loose ends, I tighten up nooses
Call me strange but to me that's synonymous
Been using as much caution as the Nautilus
Hope the departed are proud of us
I've been mad as the Hatter
My internal chatter so loud the fuzz-
Got me repeatin my actions 'cause-
My neural pathways are tracks too worn
Synapse signals'll do laps round doors
Ion remember nu'n outside
I tried to pretend but I couldn't lie
'Bout wearin my head, these 'pressions disguise-
24/7-26/9
Ion remember nu'n outside
I tried to pretend but I couldn't lie
