lyrics
revelation can be more perilous than revolution-vladimir nabokov
deep sorrow for the love i have squandered and lost/
but now im steady on the path that i wandered across/
i got a hunger for lust, so im under duress/
and a girl with a philosophy hiding under her dress/
sometimes she wonders and stress because i strayed from the fold/
that means i cheated im a bastard i dont need to be told/
im just a piece of the whole she brought some peace to my gates/
my land was lost in chaos im just a preacher of fate/
dont need a collar, theres not a leash to escape/
i been a dog now i need a dollar seekin some change/
with no aloe, i feel the sting in my marrow/
arrows on my arms for the ghosts of the gallows/
all hallows eve and the sparrows/
leave when the leaves on the trees turn yellow/
seed of the farrow, rye in my whiskey/
fire in my belly turns fright into frisky/
the light thats within me gutters and dims/
this alcohol is the muhfuckin brother of sin/
i gotta stop and i say it often in need of aid and succor/
im tryna stand on my own cuz im not a paper pusher/
so ima seek and start a career and keep speakin/
on this mic to my peers while i fightin my fears/
i fear none who's judgin? i hear some say it appears im here sloughin/
cousin. lyrically im better than most/
and i dont lie on the mic so this is better than boast/
all that i hear is so shallow and empty, mic lames/
cross wires for the spark that is startin these bright flames/
these false pyres, these idols to fame/
are idle hands so the devils at the height of the game/
illuminati or not, you worship status and symbol/
than youve made your own choice and that choice is a limbo/
choose love, and most of your bars would disappear/
think of the kids that are learning what you spit in their ear/
you dont care? cool, get the fuck off the mic/
you get what you put out, so your constructing your life/
whatever is obstructing your sight/
is in ur history so understand youre under the knife/
remove the tumor of trauma, ignore the rumors and drama/
restore ur equilibrium harness ur chi or ur mana/
ur god self king and queens, divine human beings/
ur so much better than the cheddar diamond chains and rings/
if these words ring true please repeat as mantra/
i will overcome my darkness, i will conquer/
i am whole connected to the worlds love/
praises be to the lord and lady here and above/
hear me true for i speak it i peeked behind the curtain/
the arts the architect which is redesigning my hurtin/
in my heart i got the topaz, peekin thru my candor/
beginning of a new world, mosquito in the amber/
gemstone precious, diamond in the rough/
no tricks up my sleeve but im rhymin off the cuff/
the timin is enough and the flows embalming fluid/
the beats a portal i am immortal and falling through it/
while the worlds are overlapping, the thread is far from common/
the pillars of humanity while im writing a column like paper paper/
paper paper fuck the news/
keep saying fuck the system til it starts coming through/
were just maggots in a rotten body, no sarcophagi/
we see the problems in the power so we occupy/
my occupation as a spitters kinda selfish/
i need something holistic to keep the people healthy/
when u see me, kno im more just a rap dude/
i ink these stories so these verses are my tattoos blood simple.
