Tides Freestyle

Boy no cry
Boy cry wolf
Village say he lying but they never understood nah
The view from where he stood
When he climbed that hill
He had a vision of a life that real
I penned ideas to reality, I write that still
I'mma fight back still, that's how you know it's me
Climbed the highest mountains and still haven't reached my peak
Crossing borders and there's still nobody in my league
X to the world and beyond
Got the globe in my palm
No gods
Y'all can't take it from me
I said X to the world and beyond
Got the globe in my palm
No gods no

So I left, no I never looked back
For the rest of you I'mma throw the hook back
Look at me
Running when the moon black
Get the bag por mi Pueblo
I'mma show them how we flew
So I left, no I never looked back
For the rest of you I'mma throw the hook back
Look at me
Running when the moon black
Get the bag por mi gente
I'mma show them how we flew that

It's always the wrong time with the right mind
My story forever changed when I picked up the pen to write mine
Moving in the night time
Swallowed by the ocean, we climbing the cliffs at high tide
Barrios turning to high rise
Buildings
The cities swallowing culture
Gentrifying the drive bys
I question the cost of the freedom we fighting for
Frontlines living, we citizens just surviving war
If I'mma die I wanna die for more
Most the country comfortably sit on the side and watch the storm
Deep roots to survive the weather
My poetry speak truth I disguised the message
I redefine my methods
I ask a lotta questions
She painted my summer nights with a loving that came with many lessons
Clear water, moonlight, cool breeze
Room in this boat for two and I'll meet you where I'll soon be

So I left, no I never looked back
For the rest of you I'mma throw the hook back
Look at me
Running when the moon black
Get the bag por mi Pueblo
I'mma show them how we flew
So I left, no I never looked back
For the rest of you I'mma throw the hook back
Look at me
Running when the moon black
Get the bag por mi gente
