Thirst (Interlude)

I'm feeling queasy baby
Walking right thru Plateau
Nothing in my bank account
It's 5 A.M
And I need some water
Oh lord I need some water (Yeah, yeah)
Oh lord I need some water

Am I hallucinating maybe just my view is changing
The neon lights flash and I ain't feeling too amazing
The walls are breathing and everything is in black and white
Oh shit I got a joint left
Don't mind if I do I blaze it
Pick up the pace I got no patience
I been patiently waiting to find a McDonald's location
I'm racing I need some water I swear my throat is gon' close up
I got a joint to finish quickly so I huff and puff
I see a Couche-Tard, holy shit this is it
I try to open the door
Are you fucking kidding me, come on man
Inside I see an old man, I knew he saw me
I'm banging on the window and he ain't moving at all
He's just stood there almost scared of my image
I see reflections in his eyes, cars money and women
All the things I thought would make up for every time I didn't fit in
Everyone that told me no, funny I was never offended
I would just say fuck it in 10 years they gon' regret it
And that man he had some medals, I could swear that he's a veteran
A man who had been at war with himself
But too arrogant to admit it
I'm asking a homeless man for water
Ain't that shit ironic
God help a man who doesn't pay his reverence
He had a Persian tattoo on his bicep and a eagled nose
I blinked and he disappeared
Where the fuck did he go
You know what I don't feel so good

I been thirsty but this feeling isn't even new
I been thirsty for a while I just never knew
I been thirsty for an identity for so long
I don't even know who I am shit would it be so wrong
If I were to die right now, die out of dehydration
At least I'll go in the ground, finally be apart of this nation
I ain't got no relatives here I'm the second generation
Two parts to me and too much separation
If I end up a fuck up I got l nothing to fall back on
Mom Facetimes my grandparents she puts my tracks on
I barely recognize their faces, their stories drag on
I'm like who the fuck is this
Which uncle do I gotta pretend I miss
I'm just looking for an out
Get out of the conversation
Mom I told you I ain't got no interest in speaking to strangers
I just wanna go back to my room
Plan another song
This one will make them like me
Then I'll finally belong
Then I can be one of them
I been working so hard for it
Learning their culture against their will
Motherfuckers guarding it
Don't call me no fucking Arab I'm Persian
I don't even wanna be that
Olive skin eagled nose
They say I look like my dad and it pisses me off
I'm like oh yeah just wait
I'mma get a nose job
Everything gon' change
Imma date the whitest girl
With the fattest fuckin' ass
Then I'll stop being out of pocket
Out of key like that's some jazz
I got a part of me I need to chop off
Pardon that part of me
The chip on my shoulder that needs to fuck off
I'm not a misogynist, I'm not a terrorist
I swear to god I'm not like them
