Wanderlost

Let the roach ash
Running fingers over rose quartz and topaz
Thinking how the days tend to go past so fast
Still trying to figure things out with my grown ass

Sometimes I wanna throw all in a tote bag
Be a nomad and tell these stories to my notepad
I always knew that I had to make my own path
Feelin like Gil Scott, 'cause hatred's where your homes at
Compared to how some brothers came up, wasn't so bad
Wasn't no Huxtable, but i did have a Ghost Dad
Mom would take slow drags from her smoke stash
Temporary sedation, but know it won't last
It's cold out here, it's a bucket of snow crabs
After high school, most end up low class
All I got in this world is my word and my gonads
Before my toe's tagged, what the fuck will I be known as

Finally in a place with myself for company
I know that you sent for me
But I won't be returning
I wont be returning, no
I found myself lost at sea, realizing it takes time to see
The things that I've been yearning for
Now I won't be returning, no
No, I won't be returning

And I keep having this dream where I survive a shipwreck
Washed up on an island that nobody knows exists yet
Couldn't shake the feeling that the shit was kismet
So I never tried to send a signal of distress
I took vines from the trees and made a fish net
And I casted it out along on the inlet
First time ever that I felt that I could get rest
So when the search team came, guess what I did next
I headed for the hills, I hid deep in a ridge cleft
With the insects right next to a wren's nest
Stayed there until I knew for certain the men left
'Cause the world they wanna put me in is a big mess
It's so beautiful, but everyday it's a bit less,
Tell me why we can't get the water in Flint fresh
Meanwhile, the same people slave for a rent check
Seems like alone is the place where I fit best

Finally in a place with myself for company
I know that you sent for me
But I won't be returning
I wont be returning, no
I found myself lost at sea, realizing it takes time to see
The things that you've been yearning for
And I won't be returning, no
