Threw my conciseness deuces, fuck this shit is abusive See I constantly do this, See I’m counting who looses I deflected so hard givin myself endless bruises Words weigh heavy teaching mind to correct time Truth stays heavy stolen time in a white lie No use in poetry, don’t follow the metaphor Talking less fighting more, duckin through the back door I been losing battles but this time I’ma win the war, You ain’t who you used to be, so what the hell you crying for, Make the bed, lie in it, that’s the bet you risk it all Make the bed, and die in it, that’s the act I’m falling for, Fool’s game, stand-off, giving all I did before, Close the book and rip the page, this chapter I ain’t reading more (Chorus) If I lose you will find myself again If I, lose you will I, find myself If I lose you will find myself again If I, lose you will I, find myself (Verse2) Yes I heard you twice, now spit it out One too many times, that I actually forgot about I’d be a fool twice, three times, over love Sade came on that night saying I’m a soldier of Still alive, tell it all, asking me about the scars I survive, told em all, aftermath is never far Slow dance, last song, devil dance too long Kiss from a rose, to a bond that was life long Bed beautiful, thorns didn’t feel right Like clippin wings off of angels out in mid-flight Guess I was sleepin, wine n dinin with the monsters Blinded and divided, came, saw and they conquered, Never knew better, word is bond to the letter, Broken to the last verb, tie, cut, sever, Sink or swim I choose to drown, don’t need you to save me, No regrets, wisdom now, learn and set the spirit free (Chorus) If I lose you will find myself again If I, lose you will I, find myself again If I lose you will find myself again If I, lose you will I, find myself again (Verse 3) Make the bed, lie in it, that’s the bet you risk it all Make the bed, die in it that’s the act I’m falling for, Make the bed, lie in it, that’s the bet you risk it all Make the bed, die in it that’s the act I’m falling for, Make the bed -----*drum crash* That’s the bet you risk it all Make the ---------- *drum crash* That’s the act I’m falling for Make the bed -----*drum crash* That’s the bet you risk it all Make the ---------- *drum crash* That’s the act I’m falling for (Add lib) It takes one to lie, and one to believe, It takes one to lie, and one to believe, It takes one to lie, and one to believe, It takes one to lie, and two to deceive,

Verse 1 I been running round in circles like I’m infinite, I been frotin in circles in my definite Line of view, friends I never knew, knew I never did, Nothing but give loving even if I wasn’t getting it, Harsh in my ways sometimes, to hide the delicate, Nature of my soul that folds to hold the negative, Looking for the positive, hard with all the politics, To be the magnetism, you got to be in charge in it In my niece’s eyes, thinking how she seeing it Promise of a free world, hold her up and captive in, Good feels, will she ever question all the real in it Looking for utopia hopin we might land in it, In the meantime, I need time to feel time stop for a minute To catch up to my mind, Need time to take knives out of my spine But I survive like city vines growing through the fine lines Chorus: We're a part of everything Positivity to light. Just to breathe and let it go, can't deny the elevation. When we rained down from the source creators manifesting life. Stars filled up with heavens flame. Can't deny the elevation. In this forward moving nation reach our final destination. In this forward moving nation be the light. Verse 2 Stranger in a strange world, Love to be anonymous Graze shoulder blades & skate through the obvious By passers, standing by to bypass acknowledgement Avoiding one another, coz it’s hard to do the opposite? One brush painted all of us, Now I don’t trust, canvases and billboards, Telling us what we should lust Feelin sick, this rhetoric of just like you and equal shit Keep em from complaining, all complacent that’s the deficit Man this is old news, tell it to the delicate Some of ya’ll blank staring like I’m speaking Arabic You want the power take it takes power to power nations The people should be regal not the government, misgovernment The people should be regal not punishment, the punishment Of governing yourself, in control of your health, Breaking down the pyramid and sharing all the wealth Don’t let em sell yourself, take yourself of the shelf Chorus: We're a part of everything Positivity to light, Just to breathe and let it go, can't deny the elevation. When we rained down from the source creators manifesting life. Stars filled up with heavens flame. Can't deny the elevation. In this forward moving nation reach our final destination. In this forward moving nation be the light. Verse 3: I’m the grass in the cracks on the pavement, I’m the underground beat in a basement, I’m the parallel to everything adjacent, I’m the right word looking for a placement, I’m the last tear coming down a sad face, I’m the last breath never let a lung waste, Lost planet looking for my own space, I’m the downhill ride of a car chase, I’m the fist in the air when they stand down I’m the last train leaving out my home town I’m the new tide burying the old ground I’m the last stolen gem on her gold crown I’m the last child living in a war zone I’m the last bullet pushing through a backbone I’m the last foreign land to be called home I’m the last paper trail to a new throne World citizen, risen, written in Crimson prison I don’t care for dividends World citizen, risen, written in Crimson prison I don’t care for dividends World citizen, risen, written in Crimson prison I don’t care for dividends I’m a world citizen RISEN.
