The Border

Stuck in a moment
Caught in my dreams
Losin touch with reality
Closer to fiends
Distance growin between me and who imma be
I'm losin myself
I'm losin my sheen
Been losin my life
So little's my patience
Got to the point where I'm rushin the reaper to take it
Lucy loud I can't shake it
Maybe next life I'll make it
Feelin like I'm a Hindu battlin reincarnation
Cause I'm young and I'm Black
So I fit the description
Of a college educated nigga that's on a mission
Power to all my people
Why you think we're existin
Every life is important
But melanin they forgettin
But I'm Black I'm a nigga
I ain't destined to make it
Fuckin stereotype
I was destined to break it
Blood all over the leaves
Such a terrible fragrance
But my sinuses clogged with smoke
So my senses are faded

The hate in my heart
Fueled by these ignorant folks
Wantin to burn it all down
But the fumes makin me choke
Aroma resemblin diesel
Colorful Bic watch me float
Forgive me All Mighty Father but please
Let me reap what I sow
The hate in my heart
Fueled by ignorant folks
Want to burn it all down
But the fumes make me choke
All I see is redemption
Hidden behind the smoke
Such a beautiful picture
Paintin my madness
Vincent Van Gogh

Massa bring the chains
We're already slaves of our mind
In an ocean battlin whales
That's slaves of our grind
It's commodification
Prices placed on our lives
Definition of privilege
Now we're slaves of our time
But I'm new to the game
Just a rook battlin kings
Divin in bungee no strings
Never know what it'll bring
It's like I'm trapped in a cage
And this the way that I sing
Power fist held in the air
Pray that it help all my peeps
Cause I'm rushin my dreams
I've been rushin my life
I've been rushin the sun to fade away so I see night
I've been rushin my baby Girl
So she know what's wrong and what's right
So if I die spittin this verse
Just tell her to live her life
Tell her I did my best
If I'm missin then tell her why
If I don't make it back
Tell her that's no reason to cry
As long as God is my witness
What I envision survives
I'm headed up to the top
Ain't nobody stoppin my grind
Huh
