Keep on Movin' (feat. Kyori the Okapi)

Now, let me get a deep breath (gasp), it be a lot to take in
Like photo filters and hashtags, it's hard to see who's faking
As I tend to judge peers without a jury
I feel I gotta get my mind right, 'cause I'm in a hurry
'Cause there's a lot to learn, I need to see in a new view
I'm seeing cities burn while I be here in this booth
And I'm tryna figure out what I could bring to the table
So many breadwinners die, I wished it was a fable
And all we're doing is repost this, and retweet that
We need to break this cycle, not to repeat stats
But I was never woke, I'm just sleep-deprived
I don't have American Dreams while these hooded ghosts revived
Now all we get are bigots raising picket signs
Like we ain't getting whatever be on their minds
We all tryna stop crime, but they cross the line
I don't want to "be the bigger person" when they keep robbing us blind
Like I have to keep my mouth shut, and then let this shit happen
It's an oppression prison that they got us trapped in
Quite literal kids in cages always enrage us
It's all a show to them, like the Pantages

And I only know my own perspective of how our world's defective

I gotta keep on movin cause we need to change
But don't follow me
I've been feeling hollow lately
And there ain't a lot of clarity
Just a lot of despair to see
But can you spare a dime
Or a penny for your thoughts to reach mine

People want their old life back, but nah
I've been wanting something way better
Something warmer, like May weather
'Cause in this cold world, people tryna to catch a fade
But never giving aid to those who made them
Hostile like Salem, which be the point of history
When I noticed no one's getting with the times
Are we in B.C.E. or a smut film in 3D
Stuck on repeat
We all see each atrocity
And none are really anomalies
Especially me
I know I gotta give more back
But the noose on my neck is giving no slack
And what can a backpack rapper even say
To bring these hurting people a better day
'Cause I got my own hustle, but people got a real struggle
Others kicking them down, but they still rebuttal
It makes me want to fight for them, but how
I want to give 'em any type of strength for now
'Cause power's more effective when in large numbers
And a dream's only action is being under a slumber
So ain't no time for parties, I gotta plan
A revolution is starting and needs a hand
I gotta stop thinking that I'm just one man
And get up, and go on to make a stand

I gotta keep on movin cause we need to change
But don't follow me
I've been feeling hollow lately
And there ain't a lot of clarity
Just a lot of despair to see
But can you spare a dime
Or a penny for your thoughts to reach mine

I gotta keep on movin cause we need to change
But don't follow me
I've been feeling hollow lately
And there ain't a lot of clarity
Just a lot of despair to see
But can you spare a dime
Or a penny for your thoughts to reach mine
