The Kid and the Kite

A kid living righteous
Mind precious as a gem but don't know how precious life is
Blink twice and they life in a crisis
Things changed spitting image of a light switch
Now it's darker when the night hits
These conditions leave him sightless I write this with vice grips
Upon the pen, nah I ain't thinking 'bout if I might miss
That mentality batters you 'til the kite flips

Now you soaring low, this the sort of flow to turn your
Horoscope from sagittarius to scorpio
That means I'm something like a water hose because I
Let the pen splash like I'm yelling out Geronimo
They technique doesn't match with me honestly
That's like comparing Light Yagami to Boruto
I wreak Havoc homie rest in peace to Prodigy
The studio upon my dresser keeps the modesty
But to be honest I would rather no other quality
Then what I got here authenticity top tier
Often times I get lost since my opulence isn't locked
Steer closer to my dreams and it's causing me to unlock fears
That I otherwise would've left alone
Them other guys struggle, tied to a stepping stone
It's okay 'cause I've been there I'm out that frame of mind but when I'm
In there, I think about when I'll be dead and gone

A kid living righteous
Mind precious as a gem but don't know how precious life is
Blink twice and they life in a crisis
Things changed spitting image of a light switch
Now it's darker when the night hits
These conditions leave him sightless I write this with vice grips
Upon the pen, nah I ain't thinking 'bout if I might miss
That mentality batters you 'til the kite flips

There's no regret when you're gone and the
Only bit of respect is what you've left on this home, that's why I
Find it hard to measure the content that I own, so much
Pressure for a man to gain success and control
But I heard that's how you make a gem
Take the blemishes out my raps and you'll have a sacred hymn
Safe to sin, only if you rely on a tainted whim
Hate commands the law so it's only right if I make amends
At the age of ten I don't remember much
But 16 is when the love was imminent 'Cause my
Cousin got the brushes, Pops had always taught me diligence
And that's the moment that my kite began to taste the wind
Mean mugging and string tugging to keep afloat
I must need something to relieve the hope, gravity
As it spins through the clouds coated in white lies
We know who's happy as ever to see the kite flies

A kid living righteous
Mind precious as a gem but don't know how precious life is
Blink twice and they life in a crisis
Things changed spitting image of a light switch
Now it's darker when the night hits
These conditions leave him sightless I write this with vice grips
Upon the pen, nah I ain't thinking 'bout if I might miss
That mentality batters you 'til the kite flips

Tell me what's the meaning of this nonsense
Running from my problems be the reason that I jog less
God with me but it's still a demon in my conscience
I find it hard to balance when the beam is never constant
Wait, honestly on the beat I'm a monster
No Nicki, so Iggy the way I cross ya
It's love in this art we bond from what music do
Ceiling my fate the only way is going through the roof
But it's a puzzle see I had to learn the Rubik's Cube
Moving through time how can I live without a suitable mind
And tryna take what's indisputably mine
Diamond in rough, oh what a beautiful find, you removable
Mines is timeless, permanent if you will
Guys who grind less might serve the personal thrill
But won't be carving a road, can't let the opposition get ahead of it
Who knows if I'ma see them at the end of it, peace
