lyrics

Look...
The ocean flow in multiple directions...
The same way I bet SO4P gon' flow with multiple inflections,
Speaking 'bout the resurrection
Of a new breed..
They say we gon be the change,
I say we need a new league

The game been rigged for centuries,
The powers with a few teams...
This shit uneven,
gotta balance on a new beam

Societal gymnastics,
I did backflips in a few dreams…
Felt like I scored a hat trick
On my mattress...
It was too clean

Trapped inside the matrix, I'm trying my best to save myself…
But I feel so elated when I smoke a spliff,
Forget my health.
Trying meditation,
So I'm slowly cracking through my shell…
But I still feel impatient,
And avoid asking around for help.

My shawty got me checking with a therapist,
Hope I get well…
Because the last few weeks felt like I’m trapped in hell.
Over the last few months,
I forgot how to tell my story…

And the last few years showed that no one could tell it for me.

I used to want everyone to adore me...
But now all I want is my inner peace, right?

I remember when that bus was right before me,
And a fraction of my brain wanted to step in front them street lights...

Like maybe I could find out what that peace like...

No need to rewrite...

But I'm tryna to keep going...
It's a quarter of my heart that still believe that I was chosen,
So I'm shuffling my cards
And I’ma pick 'em like they frozen

With precision, my incisions
Chop the top like I was mowing––

On my best days,

I sat above the water like a lotus…
Ignored the people round me,
They too focused on the POTUS with the best waves;

But when he doing wrong,
They never noticed...

I got family living check to check,
While tyrants get a bonus...
On them ships, they had us neck to neck,
Then say we got the onus...

To reach success
As if them shackles didn't hold us...

I do my best, but it still feel like shit is bogus....
Try not to stress, but I still feel like they don't know us...

Said I feel like a, lotus––
Sitting above the water…
I peeped they act like they don’t, know us,
But hope we act like sons and daughters
Open the floodgates, and let me through…
I ain't got nothin’ left to lose,
Said I feel like a, lotus––
Sitting above the....
Fumes.
