Trying to dip my toes down

In the pool now

Just to cool down

I wish I knew back then what I do know what I do now

And who you telling

Trying to take pieces of my mind but I’m not selling

And I’m not dwelling on time that’s been wasted

On toxic relations

That’s been patiently waiting to break shit without explanation

On why we haven’t been so adjacent

Or why I start to feel so complacent

No hesitation

Don’t even say shit

Then I told some family I was moving

They said you could be losing from this shit you trying be proving

Gon take ya chances if you fail you gon look stupid

But if you actually make it always knew that you could do it

So I’ve been traveling through alleys

Crowd parties

Empty stairways of forgotten sorries

Linking up with tomorrow sorrows that leave like hardly

Make it permanent

So they should take the test with sharpies

Pass my mind my mind

Read some lines some lines

Write more rhymes more rhymes

I don’t mind

Pass my mind my mind

Read more lines more lines

Waste more time more time

I don’t mind

You ought to be

Studying philosophy

Quoting Deuteronomy

Or crying while watching romantic comedies

Commonly things fall apart when the tables get wobbly

They shake and they toss and they turn ruin in quality oh

Moving silently oh

Moving quietly

Privately having privacy though

Then I realized that I should find where my mind would be

Then I found out she was calming anxiety

Ironically

That’s exactly what I needed

Cause playing for my sanity was playing hard on defense

As I try to remain anonymous

Or chose between platonic love and wanting to be monogamous

Or at least consistent

I found what I’ve been missing

Or what I’ve been wishing

On wish list

Like asking for money on Christmas

Or the riches diamond rings and bitches

Pass my mind my mind

Read some lines some lines

Write more rhymes more rhymes

I don’t mind

Pass my mind my mind

Read more lines more lines

Waste more time more time

I don’t mind

That’s magnificent

On a chase to them Benjamin’s

Losing they sentiment

They lose they self or they act ignorant

To the world around them

Or they back in systems exactly where they found them

Or how I am losing all my brothers

Or how they building walls around some shit like they discovered it

Or how you go some years without clean water

Or how they don't bat an eye when people standing a boards

Or how you have daughters

And you misogynistic

Or how you Ivy League but don’t know what the fuck consent is

I’m convinced then that you out of all your senses

Trying to stack excuses on excuses that’s longer than your sentence

Or how we look like hoes in the judicial system pimping

Pimping I’m steady sipping

And I simply does as simply do

We simply followed you so what’s a simpleton to do

Pass my mind my mind

Read some lines some lines

Write more rhymes more rhymes

I don’t mind

Pass my mind my mind

Read more lines more lines

Waste more time more time

I don’t mind
