the sky

Its a hero's journey
No, I won't make it but you know I'll try
Long I'll cry
And if I die I know my mama will cry too
It ain't yo fault momma, I swear it's just my mind
Walk around this world, I could see it all differently
Am I cursed? Am I afflicted with something that I will never overcome?
Have I been plagued with laziness since the day I was birthed?
But I roam this Earth, the same planet we all walk on
Stand in the dirt with my toes up in your mowed lawn
Freaking out the neighborhood, can't catch a glimpse of these eyes
Lockin the screen lookin into the dark lights
The dark nights seem to last the longest
I lose track of time with these blinds closed up

And for you I stay waitin
I know my lesson's in place
I know I'll lose it one day
But I still make the same mistakes that I seen myself take
Every day, in the future in the past I cannot dif-ferentiate
Like fuck, my days are melting
My mind is melting
My soul is expanding, but I
I cannot chase it
I'm feeling locked down, that's a feeling I hate
I'm feeling blocked out, gotta get outta the gate
Outta the fence, new acres
New waves, new ways of thinking
Breaking out of the cage
I don't want to fall in the same place that I watched you fall in
I can't reach down far
You too damn far away
I got to medicate
I got to meditate, offa this weed maybe it's all okay

Sometimes I wonder if I'm cursed
But surely I wasn't placed on this Earth
Just to do the same things as all of yer
All the people in the buildings
They doin they work, They doing all the things
Just so they can feed their families
That they had when they was kids
And they was young and never told against it
And had to work to learn their lessons
I don't want that for myself
I don't want that for my kids
If I bring any kids into this exis-istence
Like fuck, I don't know

Fuck, I don't know

Bringing kids into a world that's damned and
Destined to fail, I'm focusin on the positive
When I try
I try to focus on the positive, but the negative stays inside
I cannot quench it, its a war that I battle
It's a defeat that I'll take
There's every new day
I don't wanna stay, I don't wanna stay
I'm seein things new and differently
You gotta get on the same ride
On the same boat
Who's scared of death too? Yo
I'm the one up on the yoke
Controlling this boat, motor the boat
Motor I'm floating, I'm leading the wave
Yeah I'm leading the wave
Don't call me moses
I'm down with the bible and shit and all the references
But that's a violent book, yeah set it up by Mac

Destined and damned at the same time
I'm writing these same lines
I don't even know if no one gon read em
I'm fine, I'm just puttin it up
Speakin up to the spirits, the divine
Clearin the divide
I'm seein both sides, I was born yeah that's my sign
But there's so many levels and levels and levels and levels
And I'm reading all these lines on the screen
It's making me blind all these blue lights
That keep me from sleeping all through the night
I can't stand it
I can't stand that shit it's the same, I can't stand it
I can't stand that shit it's the same
I drain my new shit just to get new shit in my brain
I gotta move shit just to get a new flow where I'm stayin
I gotta change it up
I gotta complicate it
I could explain it but you wouldn't have the time to lessen-
You wouldn't have the time to learn the lessons
It's the same way that I move
It's the same way that I think
I got new things, I got new ways
And hopefully I'll get around this obstacle that's in my way
Cause I'm --, I'm too young yeah you say
I'm too young, yeah you say
There's enough here that's happening
What's the point of this happening?
Where's the place it's happening?
Where's the place it's happening?
