Only The Past
(专辑: The WinterFire EP - 2014)
[?] I
mean to Be in the
moment To really sit still in it Without the
pills and other thangs And get real with it To not reflect or project these feelings I'm harboring To not give fuck bout who's feelings I'm bothering It's startling How hard it is swallowing truth I'm dry heaving on the
daily Need to water my roots I'm supposed to be the
type of soldier God would recruit But I
lost my troops and it's soo hard to regroup Tryna cope Losing hope out following smoke When I
approach They looking through me as if I
was a
ghost Cause I'm Not in the
present I'm present But not my essence Don't count these seconds, nigga Count your blessings! But time is money If a
brother ain't counting dollars I'd be homeless in these mountain hollers It's hard I'm at odds Between earth and star But for the
moment put the
purp in the
'gar My nigga And just... Learn from my mistakes, raking up the
leaves Burn them in my place, ashes in the
breeze Smash em in your face, for re-hashing the
past Now you can taste the
history, misery and peace Yet peace is in the
present, so I
make a
constant effort To feel my feet against the
street, the
way we feel the
beat Rattle and roll, straddle the
bass line like I
straddle my goals Tight. With a
whip in sight, with a
with that's like a
thousand Sarcastic talk show hosts, and a
vicious right jab To mic stands, which might land the
riches I
grab, in the
Right place: the
heart chakra The
riches I
speak of are not of a
monetary operating System, your lost, obnoxious, non-spirit driven operas are Not my cup of tea. My people fuck with me Because I'm fucking free! I
live in the
now The
futures un-known, but I
cook my destiny without a
recipe Just me and God to see beyond [?] To the
victor goes history Cover up the the
misery Oppressed seek oppressor for what's meant to be a
memory Placed upon papyrus or witnessed with your iris Degraded through the
grapevine soured as the
vine is Still recited by the
Pius with approval from the
highest Placed up on the
food chain So slaves can buy a
new chain Freshly topped tombstones Them graves can get new a
name Spark a
conversation after soaking it in butane Searching for a
new lane while waving at the the
past To be the
wave of the
future but the
tides turning fast Cops already purging in the
streets without a
mask The
stage is being set with only extras in the
cast The
faint of heart can't grasp how the
brave can simply laugh The
humor is the
hubris to be first to carve the
path And gasp... Making time out of nothing but everything Can't is just a
word that we never sing Let it be heard I
make noise from the
silence of light Sights from the
science of sound Profound thoughts Let's walk, between the
seconds they talk I
pay it no mind I
know their reference is off I
get my messages straight from the
heavens And share em with my brethren in case they're late to the
session Can you relate to the
question? I
can, just a
man with a
place for progression Face it, bass hits for discussion It's all the
same shit Spaceships get percussive I
turn clocks with my muscles Move rocks with a
chuckle Just watch, no buckle When time is a
puzzle then trust this Life isn't measured it just is [?]
