White Water

Like the white water that's crashing on the sand dunes
Like the white water that's bubblin' right through you
Like the white water they dropped down your fucking throat
Like white water the river never calmly flows

Another political episode
With epic prose
Prosecco celebrates your empty nose
An old foe n fourteen year old
That you not taking care of
18 youngin' on your insta says papa take care love
How dare ya?
Ya mama would say
If she could see on this day
Your mistake to think shell praise
A shifty father no way
I shift my bishop
So my queens protected
MVP of the game
And yet the kings elected
Feelin'
Rejected by my goals
Seems like I'll never grab hold
Seems like I'll never be anything
Paired with visions of memories
That haven't been healed yet
And I blame myself everything
A blessing in disguise
For every moment in life
I felt at my lowest
And contemplated suicide
Stuck with a do or die mentality
Being crushed by the gravity
Holes too deep like cavities
See the evil in the vanity
Lost in the marinara
Lost in alfredo
Please treat me delicately
Like your picking tomatoes
Please speak hesitantly
And think before you speak
What's okay to say right now
Might not be the next week
How'd we become so weak
To accept being the victim
We're like a running joke
On a corny white sitcom
What does it take to empower the masses?
Cause even God can't
I'm starting to believe
There's never really god sent (amen)

I'm feeling lost in the vines
Lost in a time where
I could not survive
Breathless silence I swear

I'm feeling lost in the vines
Lost in a time where
I could not survive
Breathless silence I swear

Y'all seem tired of this poetic shit
Not even haikus surviving it
An era of lyrical violence
We hating on each other's opinions
And we still wonder why the system is winnin'
What would you do if you were always winnin'
I'd by my mom a house and a nice blouse
Send her around the world
So she could see what's around
Passed the stained-glass window
And opened up my blinds
Stared back at my reflection
To realize that I was blind
No, I couldn't see
Was Blinded by a hatred
Clouded by a misery
Was keen on my survival
But was killing what I'd be
If I woulda had focused on a mental that's at peace
Instead of slaving hard on a college degree
What peace did that get me
No paper will set me
Ill speak if you let me
Be heard no don't vet me
Before you hear my angle of truth
You never know it just might be an angle of you (you you)
Double standards supportin' separation
Tectonic shift on a bitch that would ever say shit like
Things that you can't do cause you ain't me oh so tactfully
Saying words that scream that your mind works oh so absently
No ask for perfection
Just ask for direction
We on the path to darkness
Lookin' for luminescence
What defines you is what you doin with your time
Tell me whatchu up
Cause it's a quarter passed nine
Are you lost in the vines
Are you lost in the bud
Oh u passed that
So now u lost in the grub
We do anything
Just to not to be lost in our minds
Inhale all the shit we can
Just try to survive
There's no hellos no more
We in a cycle of byes
I guess consumerism
Consumed emotional ties
I can't hide no more
Boy I'm losing my kind
Tired of being mad
I'm thinking now is my time

I'm feeling lost in the vines
Lost in a time where
I could not survive
Breathless silence I swear

I'm feeling lost in the vines
Lost in a time where
I could not survive
Breathless silence I swear

Like the white water that's crashing on the sand dunes
Like the white water that's bubblin' right through you
Like the white water they dropped down your fucking throat
Like white water the river never calmly flows
