Leonid Meteors

I spent 20 years orbiting this sun beam
Learning that to pause for extra breath
has been our planet's best luxury
Time is the lumberjack of money trees
trade it for this overlook that holds me up like dungarees
The airs fresher Granny boiling her orange peels
Scared the trust I seek in women like her
prove that she's part of a dying breed
Automatically perceive deception when they eyes gleam
Transform her words into the plight within a star's scream
Maybe I'm the problem, the fly within the ointment
The trauma of a child finds reflection in my choices
The product of her tenderness, a raisin in the moisture
Head bursting at the seams, self-defeating inner voices
Got me shut away, locked in the studio for days
With a beat that's on repeat and I don't leave until it's perfect
Gotta emulate, hands full of porcelain, the clay
Is used to visualize the lines and inner workings of my pain
Wax moth trapped inside a lightbulb
Try to look away but he's addicted to the bright gold
Sold my soul for the price of a blood diamond
I nightmare Sierra Leone under my eyelids
Still fall in love but I love different
Still having fun but the fun's relative
Still in the cut but my cut overgrown
Still on a wave but the waters bitter cold
The shells of the men are washing up on heaven's beaches
Wondering where I'll end up's got me seasick
Hamid's Journey stuck on this rock the glass sponge
Found a livelihood of spinning precious silk off of my tongue

Perfection my tendency, live in my head with my tenants
Steady bettering, stay a second the rent is free
Marathon veteran, ten thousand hours my pedigree
Let me evolve, trust in my recipes, remedies
Holes in the wall, harder disregarding my enemies
Closing them off
Racing the inner me feel like there's ten of me
Battling, movement in the grass, hear rattling
Used to busting caps, no cap in it
Proof is in the pudding and past, no tattling
I worked so hard to repent, now I work harder
I was sitting on the fence, now I paint passionate
My hue changed, the mood ring the color of amethyst
Take the pacifist outside of the activist, more empowered
The falcon ain't been hearing the falconer, talk a lil louder
Pick up your chest you walk, stand a lil taller
See superheroes your skin color, find the smile you lost it
It was never really missing
You knew where it was but stayed distant
Back to my perspective
I never thought I would dig out this the hole
Mischievous soul, like 93 to infinity
The gauntlet behind me, fist of fury ahead of me
One inch punch in, beat snap Thanos
No one stopping Rock Lee ripping the ankle weights
Stripping the pain away, tipping the scales
Favoring greatness we'll separate
Leonid Meteors every few generations we generate
Peak of the mountain I write to the village
We're reuniting one day
