Stay
Ay yo, I'm out here wetting my lips
Graffiti bricks lining my sight
Is it right that I be feeling things
Differently
Intimately
Ultimately
Losing my grip
Maybe I'm cracking up
In this dry we've lost water supply
Whole city blocks
Carrying canteens with no drops
And I've got big knots
In my shoulders
Rubbing my temple
Feeling older than my years would suggest
I need a long rest
But most of us know
We lost the chance to take a break
Though we can light up the night, so then
I keep on counting the days
From when I first recognized I was enraged
And I got thousands
They want me to supplicate
Give up my voice, knee on my neck
Unmoved as I suffocate
And do some changing for change sake
I wonder why it's so easy to hate
So easy to hate
The more we change the frame
Is the more we never change
The more we pray
In the presence of spectators
Make me feel greater than I wasn't
I'll have my coffee later
One for the road
It's like I'm carrying a Sisyphus load
Up and down up and down up and down
Embrace the burden
Skins are burning
The world keeps turning orbiting us
Towards a demise
Chains around the brown skin
We all fall down
Ashes to ashes
But, Nobody Ever Really Dies
All of my feelings detach
Don't have the math to add 'em back
Feeling like Major
Ghost in the shell
I lost the willingness to wear it well
Know it's me from the ink
The menacing of angry
Gather words like anthologies
Slick like Anansi the spider
Who tricks career insiders
Flat slope
No rise over run
No rise over run
The more we change the frame
Is the more
More we never change
Never change
Yeah the more we prayin' for change
Is the more, more we stayin' the same
Stay the same
Graffiti bricks lining my sight
Is it right that I be feeling things
Differently
Intimately
Ultimately
Losing my grip
Maybe I'm cracking up
In this dry we've lost water supply
Whole city blocks
Carrying canteens with no drops
And I've got big knots
In my shoulders
Rubbing my temple
Feeling older than my years would suggest
I need a long rest
But most of us know
We lost the chance to take a break
Though we can light up the night, so then
I keep on counting the days
From when I first recognized I was enraged
And I got thousands
They want me to supplicate
Give up my voice, knee on my neck
Unmoved as I suffocate
And do some changing for change sake
I wonder why it's so easy to hate
So easy to hate
The more we change the frame
Is the more we never change
The more we pray
In the presence of spectators
Make me feel greater than I wasn't
I'll have my coffee later
One for the road
It's like I'm carrying a Sisyphus load
Up and down up and down up and down
Embrace the burden

No rise over run
The more we change the frame
Is the more
More we never change
Never change
Yeah the more we prayin' for change
Is the more, more we stayin' the same
Stay the same
