9000 Miles
[stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] [stroke] My mind speaks mathematics Sometimes I feel english is a poor translation of my hearts palpations That's why I give it to you quarter notes at a time So that my rhymes are aided by body gyrations But now it's like each hymn ain't nothing but a word with-- Countless synonymns where should I begin with them? Every +sentence+ is a jail bid locking me in to +bars+ of meaning with so much space between them And it's all real If I took a little bit of time to reflect on the unreal my brain might peel off my mind To reveal this pegasus spree well whole-sale fairytale echo in a conch shell But why say it if you can't see it? I can call it abstract and say take what you want from it I could do that all day till my tongue goes numb from it but see what good will come from it? I got something to say, I can't run from it I gotta confront it. I can't watch while this... Music that taught me so much as a child Letras de cancionesgrows louder every day but the world grows dumb from it So every line that I draw from my pen it shapes a letter that makes a word that feeds a verse A swim for home, a place for infinite styles but it feels like 9000 miles So I... [stroke] Through Atlantic [stroke] Through the Pacific [stroke] Through the Indian [stroke] Through the Arctic [stroke] Through the cold current [stroke] Through the warm current [stroke] To the fare in the foul for 9000 miles [stroke] Like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships [stroke] From a suicide jump to a brave trip [stroke] Like you see shore line in the distance [stroke] Like if you don't, you'll drown any instance So here we are again the same space in mind but now we in a different place at a different time A different taste to a different rhyme with so many flavors to embrace, I can't waste a line So I'm going for self with no hesitation cause my-- self expression is my self preservation My skills pay bills to fulfill my will to do for others what I do for myself Like motivation through verses as if it was a virtual conversation on the pros and the cons of a real situation Inspired by my knowledge of self determination to ease the frustrations of miseducations This wise god music from I takin your eye from trials and tribulations to kingdom in the patience This wide hallpath is beaten by beats made from good vibrations passed down for generations on a... [stroke] Through Atlantic [stroke] Through the Pacific [stroke] Through the Indian [stroke] Through the Arctic [stroke] Through the cold current [stroke] Through the warm current [stroke] To the fare in the foul for 9000 miles [stroke] Like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships [stroke] From a suicide jump to a brave trip [stroke] Like you see shore line in the distance [stroke] Like if you don't, you'll drown any instance I get hyped. I get home at night. I get a beat in my head I get my book to write, I get writers block I get so stressed that I get dope rhymes from it, just to get rest I get frustrated from this old world mess So when I got to get the bad air out my chest I get on the mic and strive to be the best But it's not just the flow, There's more to the test I gotta spit like there's no time to waste Spit like I can't take away this life taste Spit for rebellion, spit for resistance Spit for accuracy, spit for distance I can't just spit that shit you could market Even though I know we got the same target And I can't just spit that old rhetoric I gotta spit what's ten steps ahead of it I gotta spit for the life of my kids And not just the next meal for my next deal I feel like these rhymes could shape tommorow So they could walk through it with a little less sorrow I gotta spit out the mouth these protections and stick and move these lines for perfection I gotta spit shit no one ever thought of Spit like Imma choke on the salt water When I...
