Nursin the Blind

Uh, what's it all really mean?
Authentic aspirations conflated with silly dreams
You don't really love her
Billie Jean, but the kid is ours
'Cause the inequity, ineptitude and the prisons ours
Reapin' what we sow as I get deeper in these flows
Truth watered down as you feel that you deeper in the know
Livin' for the yeses, but feel deeper in the noes
There's value in solitude, but it's cheaper with the bros
Voice of a generation, I'm a sleeper, you should know
Shh
You hear that creakin' in the door?
That's me creepin' in the door
While the flood of all the feelings
You been harborin' start leakin' on the floor
We all gon' be cast to sea whether you actually see all the travesty
Why be a student to be abandoned by the faculty?
So all the best pupils turn to oligarchs
I'm from where schools of minnows get minused if you are not a shark
The manhood fragile, the plans push cattle
The judgment that come from our hostile
Often made by the Klan hood's gavel
Appointed by the masters of the masses
What's a celebrity really but a distraction?
Pledge to a constitution of captions
Idols I aspired to back then is all collapsin'
Off of the traction, I'm feelin' trapped in
Every verse I ever did was meta so I'm prepared for whatever
My greatness ain't defined by the space that occupies
How can I be optimist when I gotta optimize?
Success is limited, how can I not opt for mines?
Was the best and the worst of times
Directionless as I ascend while the world declines
Searchin' for a purpose
I am tryna do essential work where artists just nurse the blind
