What do you say when you come to yo senses And Burn down they walls and abolish dimensions That kept you defenseless from what they dispensing Let me mention the Godd Don't gotta go far The apple the tree The thunder the seed The bolt and the leaves, ~Floating on top of our dreams we run with the streams We won/one with the streams What you mean run that back- Matters that’s Black when you come to your senses And Burn down they walls and abolish dimensions That kept you defenseless from what they dispensing Did i mention im Stars Tenderness in my scars Guess its lit when you Godd and also its raw I dont want no uproar just an uplift And to say that we lit -(aye) -I'm on my healing time And i am feeling fine Count it out for the time i reclaimed Count it out and put that on my name All the papers rengig Me and my and niggas See-in-7 figures Generations of Healing in all directions Healing infections This shit is infections Embedded empowerment Inner compass im following Out here healing cuz j cole still hollow But yall will still follow him so im on my healing time Noname done kicked the rhyme ... But yall still aint listening Melanin glisten So I aint trippin Im rippin im healing it feeling like ya ya ya Bish I'm on my healing time ... and if they ask, tell em i was feeling fine.

5.	Sway (For you, nyc & Brooklyn) 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Years later I leave your home and hop on the subway with my shades on with my hoe bath with my headphones Home to a mother Sore with remembrance in all the right places Satisfied Look. Away. from the homeless man Avoid eye contact Stare only when there's enough distance (Thoughts of how prob Lematic This is Drowned out by) Hopes he doesn't come back Pretty blonde girl in the distance With brown eyes and brown skin My metaphors remind me that I don't know shit about shit * I'm just here like everyone else Broadcasting the revolution LIVE Is he blind Is he faking Why am I not blind? Am I blind? What's sight anyway? Air drum solo in between 86th street and a strangers bed That it's becoming too easy to wake up in To dance with Ice skating on ah ah Sea of our feelings and all these things I used to want to be for you What do I mean to you? Swaying In between lover and friend Homies That sweat and kiss in the dark Talk to me Swaying In between 59th and destiny And memories that get tangled and left in sheets Home bound He's got a cello Is he niiiice tho? He's got a uniform With a badge and flag Ups and a spurs cap She's got flip flops on It's almost October ... But then again I'm a tank top and shades Because they look good And because he sweat out my twists and now I over compensate Am I a philosopher ? Are they? Are we all? Do you judge me With your book? And your religion ? In your Luis Vitton While I bump the Louie Vitton Don We did like 4 rounds between sundown and noon I'm nude underneath all this Swaying in between unwanted and over demanded I'm sky high And I can't thank you enough Assata She who struggles I'm loud for the people Loud But am I louder than the people? I can't don't won't hear you Walk with a switch Fire in my fist Coach put me in like * Dessa I just wanna be soft sometimes Tho And get pretty and put in barrettes And you sweat out my baby twists In ways my mother could only imagine You got my number, hit my phone And ring me up on some cultural intellectual shit Shoo hit me up on some ratchet shit if you wanna Owwww Just don't think of me as the centerpiece of interesting in your life of monotony ☀️☀️☀️I wanna shine with you Let your bright out Don't let this city make you forget how to smile dance together Sway In between Atlantic ave Barclay and the Brooklyn I used to know Wait I just got kicked by a baby on the bus Mmmp That's the Brooklyn I know :) Round and round Go Round and round You've made me beautiful again You listen when I tell you how much I appreciate your essence And you hear it You see me Seeing you And in this simple act And I feel affirmed Because i thirst for validation Back then it was I've ever wanted since that spring Under the sycamore tree Made me a more sicker emcee With a sickening addiction Living with this Living witness to life and her shit list Would make you leave religion with the quickness My country capitalistic Puts babies beneath ballistics where nice people get pressed into machine cogs And K/cats that are so poetic spit bars in between subway cars And everyones too preoccupied pretending not to notice We're riding a Reading Rainbow No invite tho? to dine at life's table of pleasures I feel guilty Eat with me The thirst in this city is outta control sometimes Considering the high level of I don't give a fuckery A pair of sibling giggle and tug on childhood to my right and I can't help but to smile I'd hate to be the person who can Though people respond to my questions about their happiness aggressively As if I needed a lesson in all the ways that things are so succinctly screwed up She's tense She's their mother She winces And grimaces She asks me to take the baby I would but I'm getting off the next stop. I realize she's speaking to her daughter who is shocked that I would cradle a stranger Not knowing that I waltz horizontally with friends who make themselves into strangers with great walls sealed with emotion Give me your body I cradle him too Give me your boy I know you intimately And I don't know the first thing you I do know I gotta I back downstairs tho The family dollar got pads cheaper than bus fare And after last night I'm flowin like a poet with Milky Way kisses along their cheekbone Alive w/ a hive of a mind buzzing with rythmic words and lyricism No need to switch the Algorythm* This is simply the way it is But not the only the way it needs to be Sway with me ...

It’s the message the fire that i drink And spark a lution when i speak Heard the word was a bible Made religion of a bar In beginning was the rhythm and the rhyme way the earth scout the sun And the Moon stay shinin on it siblings inna solar system Pen the children of the pulse And that way That Yo cells Ricochet off the walls of our imagination If we can build em up we can break it down So i break it down syllables The sound of a trillion cells, And the wishing in well Musical kiss and tell forward motion I’m (what u doin) uh uh using this to momentum Just To doula in a movement of the truth And when the youth is at pulpit —Hip- hop is the culprit And the sacred reincarnated this shit is ancient Cant be taken Cuz when our ppl learn to fly Everybody just gon follow Rhymes is hollow less you speaking on some shit —that’s gon make a difference —Check check what you hearing Make an appearance Shit is Gettin hairy —Be yo own fairy —Re-play it if you hear me Do it for Hip Hop Check check what you hearing do it for hip hop Check check what you hearing Do it for hip hop Check check what you hearing Do it for hip hop Check check Do it Do it for Do it for hip hop Check check Do Hip Dew it for Hop 🎵 Hip Hop Daddy Mack Black Caddy Shak Pushin Say my name tho People made of gold Mama Africa We Remade In Yo Image Rhythmic So we Live eternal in a mic never timid Sing it if you hear me 🎶 So we Never timid People made of gold Mama Africa Say my name tho Say her name tho Rhythm 8.9.19
