I'm Still Somehow

(album: Glorious Game - 2023)

Push come to shove once and for all
Moments of pause, answer the call
If it's the last dance, with that said
It's the last chance to evolve
Being a black man's been a job
Look at the loved ones I have lost
Give me a CAT scan, I can't stand
When the drug starts wearing off
What they would call going through withdrawal
Nothing to fear but fear is all
Nothing to board these spirits off
Better prepare for a tear to fall
I say a prayer for a miracle
Pinning a parable to share with y'all
It's about one crown who was run down
Somehow still standing tall (Tall)
Look, I received heat from a friend
We will get knee-deep, get it in
I will be three sheets to the wind
Then I'll repeat dumb shit again
Yo, they was vibing on psilocybin
Phil Collins or Phyllis Hyman
Criticized, but it's still a problem
To get a rise from the threat of violence
That's a gateway like Ellis Island
We should take time, smell the flowers
At the bassline for the powers
That be, I wonder what the hell is ours?
May as well keep living lawless
If I face charges regardless
I'ma race now from the margin
But somehow, still a living target (Target)
Out of socket, out of darkness
Out of pocket, out of office
Who ever thought to collect a orphan?
Didn't never say shit about a coffin
All the tools that we had was hammers
That's exactly what we would brandish
Whole high waiting for the time
We get a placebo instead of answers, I mean

Yeah (I mean)
Let's talk about (I mean)
Let's talk about (I mean, I—)

They say black joy is rebellion
A happy black boy's like a alien
I see what ain't fail yet is failing
So we adapt, that of a chameleon
True advancement, who the champion
That somehow smiles for the cameras?
With the strength found through the anthem
And somehow beautifully handsome
We too powerful for you to cancel
This is not a groove you could dance to
This is nasty (Hahahahaha)
