The Foundation

Fragility climbs in the scariest times, I'm talking
Here and now every breath that I rhyme
Sunshine's getting devoured, by these meteoric showers
Every hour after hour, won't submit to the signs
Inclined to higher thinkin' in the inclement weather
More reason to to get it together, need to build me a shelter
Helter Skelter's on horizon, no lie son
Feel like a fish on a line hung, no time, done
Is what another man would be, but no, not me
Cause I'm conjuring strategies one would think to be fantasy
Actually, I been preparing for the future to come
Young dumb bums, sons, daughters, ignorant ones
See I could save ya if ya care to listen
But chances are ya won't, so goes the circle on'a spinning and spinning
Now allowing an intermission, I'm stating all that I've written
The sentiment of my diction's a message to pique ya interest
Suggesting you pay attention to what I mention
No lesser you than a reverend, we all could make it to heaven
First step, get the fuck off ya phone for a second
These Instagram hoes got me bothered and stressing
And niggas too, wanna yell World Star, they think they flexing
A lot of dumb shit developing kid
New stories are so boring, only murder and Knicks
The coverage of the shooters are the ones they against
Clear biases cloud judgement, are you getting the gist?
Sound thoughts and loud voices, help me start up a trend
Cause these thots in Rolls Royces are a following sin
I speak my mind with a passion, whether paper and pen
Mic in a room or marker and a wall in a den
And so, the goal has grown and manifested from the back of mind
To the front of the lobe, like black bus riders of old
New age birthing and the womb is my soul
All respect to Mother Badu, but I'm takin' control
Not for myself, but the people a whole, fa sho
WATCH ME

Yo, I was married to a state of mind but had to divorce it
Since the kind of thought it brought had left me exhausted
It began as an embryo and grew enormous, ah
What's worse than knowing that it's being forced in, huh?!
Stuck in a cycle, a wheel of fortune
Fortunately, I got rid of that life, like abortions
Sincerely, I miss it dearly, but was out of proportion
No potion could remedy the suffering once brought in, never
Mind the type'a cost I had lost when afforded
Long as my conscience elevated like using a forklift
My, foundation's dug up, now the skyscraper's soaring on a new agenda
Pretenders never get noticed/
So I'm peeking over people in a crowd so hopeless
The host with the most-est fixing what's broken
Of course, I'm off the hook like a phone that's cordless
The self-sustained engineer slash recordist
See it's not about who's the flyest, the wisest, the oldest
The richest or the the famous, but about who stays focused
I keep, persistent, see it's company along with a motive
To get your thoughts open like cell phone explosives
To hell with your offers, officers, authors
And any other accomplice feeding us nonsense
The young left defenseless in a world of offense
Officially drowned in it's contents, yo
The complex system proving gruesome and heartless
A shattered work of art holding on to a promise
Will be the most honest vocalist who's modest
But on the mic will speak about what he feels consciously
I see emcees tryin'a paint mirages
The swift blade cut a phony rapper to parts with
The rest of his entourage leave'm dearly departed
Yours truly take the first swing and beat him half retarded
Take a seat like you just farted, no need to be retarded
I'mma be the one to lead us back to where it started
