Broke out my Inkwell to etch My Name into the World Atmosphere
Utterances only appear after my throat’s cleared
Tongue now spits so clear
Words brandished they are my Spear
To strike fear into silver tongue; Fox eared characters with motives on different tiers
Tryna sneak me from under the stairs
Respect not earned until you play fair
Will never fall on my Sword or lurk treacherous like tare
Not dipped in the River of Styx, head bald slick, skeletal, but I ain’t pay no fare
Sittin like the Thinker in my not rockin chair Contemplate life; I brood in my lair
Until my pitch black Night Sky stare has come to an end and set
New day , knew it, had a feeling it wasn’t comin to a single dot punctuation just yet
On my mark I get set, go and then flow
Tryin every door
Until one’s popped unlocked
No keys, Portal Master, I phase through a dead end like it’s air could give a damn if it’s bedrock
Too hot; I leave fire prints behind as I trot
4 in the morning I find myself fast awake then caught deep in Thought
Bump on my head got a new Knowledge Knot
Breaking down Generations of trauma with Rock
Y’all thought the Keys to Freedom was stuck on wast
Til I grasped the Holy Grail
Now flows forth more Rivers for us All to Cross
When the Tides Rise
All Ships Will take off. Will take off. Will Takeoff.
We’ll Takeoff. Yeah.
Wave, (Rollin with the) Wave, (Feelin Like a) Wave, (Ship carried by the) Wave, (Lookin for my Sword) Wave, (Hand up to the Lord) Wave, (Now the Rain is pourin) Yeah. Damn….
