Down.
Just gotta calm
Down.
Down from this misery
scrambling to finish unraveling life's mystery
no longer any epiphanies, just doubt and worry sicken me,
Not sick like some ?uestlove remix or Jazzy Jeff mixtape shit,
Sick like listening to your father curse Heaven in outrageous fits,
Sick like pessimists believing they're dying more each day,
I'm getting sick of this type 'sickness', got to throw that vibe away,
And let positive vibes stay.
Falling down.
I'm falling down deeply into this quicksand from this man
That many feel the urge to 'stick it' to,
Blind to my slow demise of debt from unnecessary consumption,
Brainwashed from mass media to the point i'm learning nothing,
Fronting about my own personality so socially i'm not seen in my actuality
I'm falling down, right about now
Sure do wish i was falling up like the Peas when they stayed Behind the Front,
But to a seemingly endless downward sink is the pattern i'm clinging to,
False toast i'm drinking to, horrible nightmare i keep thinking to,
As i'm falling down into my own pit of despair.
When it all falls down,
I'll be waiting patiently
Like in white rooms of sterile air where patients be,
Not letting go of the truth and goodness received from my peers,
This aged war has brought far too long a debate that our great grandparents could relate,
Endless injustices leaving sisters brotherless,
Imbalanced families without direction, motherless;
Our freedom's at stake when our foundations start falling,
Eyes and mouths need to open to stir emotion and rally calling,
Stop freezing up when someone else falls from evil force without desire to stop flying
Take action or fret in ill regret because all of this lying
Has my heart drowned from overcrying
I'm over lying to myself deciding that ignorance is bliss,
Ignorance isn't shit, knowledge of self is;
Immerse yourself in positivity without stopping your learning,
All possibilities will be realized and when it all falls down,
You can shine the light in with open curtains.
