Fast track / cats will flashback to going nowhere slowly / don’t need app to stay calm / need mostly ghostly / spirits I can sip on / slip on the cruise music / automatic gears provide drive so use it / push a pedal bike up top until the hill stop / free wheel control we roll with sisyphus rock / me I see the son fall / Icarus is grounded / the ship still sailing over water that he drowned in / carry on cousin / I’m a slow rolling truth seeker / pleased to meet ye / could I reach ye / teach ye how to freely speak / a whole lot of nothing more than too-much-to-mention / steady rapping / mind mapping / multiple directions / I work the angles, heart and device / mangling the manacles with the dry ice / hold the cold heat: Shure / like the mic is / only as potent as the mind behind is / think: could I would I should I answer the call when the clarion’ carrying a few dollars more / do I gotta pay the piper if I’m blowing my own horn / pipes fall silent / the rats are at war / always had the best intentions / just wanted to go viral with my virus protections...
Are we there yet?
When we gonna get there?
Forget that formal function / leave my form to function / feel formless standing stuck at some junction / my natural state of mind’s how I mind the state trying to mine a big stake in my soul / not a vampire / me I like to slay instead / so how the system got me feeling like the walking dead? / see the popstar the same as the politician / both of them been publicized packaged and played in that position / how we gonna trust anything out those mouths / when every lyric every line is probably ghost written / I don’t know what’s going on half the time / but the other half of time I keep in mind / I’m just another tick within the big tick-tock / tryna make the most of every stage I clock / tryna beat the boss / take us all up another level / are we there yet? Where the ruler’s sitting with the rebel?
