Lyrics
Flow giant but the stalk is steep
A waterbender with the words so
When I talk its deep
I took the rocky path in winter
Cutting both my feet
So when I'm walking on the sun
I know my soles'll seep
So why's it shocking that my bloods red
I'm biting bullets just to save them from the bloodshed
Still I keep rapping the rings of saturn till my tongues red
Now they wanna follow me like moths to the tungsten
Bun them
Like oh my nimechoka walai
Niliamka, nikaumia
Basi mbona nitry
Na serikali hawajali
So we turn to the sky
I pray that those who live through love will survive
Still,Pick at the beat like the stubbornest scab
Working 10:30 to 7 then it's back to the lab
I had the faculty frustrated with my Gift of the gab
And my mother using the belt just so my pants wouldn't sag
I'm tit for tat with pain and pleasure
And the friction is fab
Know this
Dick and this diction gives a reason to brag
I let my hear go out of signal so
No reason for lag
And when it's time to head to heaven then I'm taking a cab
So what's all this then
Long-locced little brother with a slick pen
Know I was raised by my mother and the sistren
And every day I say I love them and I miss them
And I miss them
So what's all this then
Long-locced little brother with a slick pen
Know I was raised by my mother and the sistren
And every day I say I love them and I miss them
And I miss them
Numbers start to fade on the card
Scratches on my sunglass
Fill it with the shape of my heart
I made a habit out of taking it fast
Chase the rabbit with a long stride following the echoes of Laughs
I pray the paint won't wash when the rain come
But still obliviate the shades I didn't ask for
And when my pulse can't play with the same drum
I find my **** waiting for me on the dance floor
I know I want more
But I don't need it to live
The absence in me holds a memory in the shape of a rib
I hope it's taken and reshaped to a lady with glib
Who won't remember what she has to forgive
I never call you on my good days so I hear
It's hard to tell you in a good way I love fear
And couple times a day I dream I'd disappear - faded behind
And watch the monsters that would haunt me wash away with the tide
So what's all this then
Long-locced little brother with a slick pen
Know I was raised by my mother and the sistren
And every day I say I love them and I miss them
And I miss them
So what's all this then
Long-locced little brother with a slick pen
Know I was raised by my mother and the sistren
And every day I say I love them and I miss them
And I miss them
