about

This one was inspired by Wonder Woman's dialogue at the end of BvS (yes, I'm one of the fanboys who loves it). Special shoutout to Feed Her To The Sharks; they might not remember that chat we had a few years back, but I FINALLY was able to sample one of their songs for hip-hop \m/

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I try to believe that I aint lost, but
All I see is evil and I'm washed up
As I keep releasing Tisse and Sauce stuff
A final draft? I aint nothing but a mockup
I should use my words to write a human verse
And maybe fuel improvement of our putrid earth
The irrefutable hurt that people do is worse
Than our imaginary enemies, consumed and cursed
Does hell dwell with the devil beneath?
Naw, it's on our level where we step with our feet
We're no separate being,s but we're neglecting to see
That every negative featurette is reflective of each of us

[Chorus]
She smiles at me, I hold her close
And in this moment, time has stopped
I should have walked away, I should have let you go
Maybe I'm better off alone

[Verse 2]
My music's a makeshift escape
From purest pain that our brainwaves create
I hate that I've stayed complacent with the state our states are in
But hate ain't making the change
Ignorance is bliss for the ones who ignore it
But more important are the poor and the war-torn who endure it
But every time I talk curing, it's rhetorical
I'm bored scoring my short life unimportant
But through the music I do I get to forget all the horror
Nothing compares to the joy I get from recording
It's like a fortress in audio, bolt the door
Cuz I'm already over mourning our fallen and all the corpses

[Verse 3]
I hold the music close, she's a lavish liar
While all the world's in motion, I'm static, denial
Guess I've had it with trials, but through the madness and pious
Idiot attitude I have, I have imagined a smile
It seems it's in our nature to be damaging
Like we are the cancer, vicious and ravaging
Excuse my lack of faith in this ageless calamity
But I'm a tune away from walking away from humanity
I shoulda done it long ago, but I couldn't let us go
So I been going through the motions, hopeless on the low
So I bottle my emotions slow
But when I focus on my flow I've a home within what I wrote
