Nursin the Blind
Uh, what's it all really mean?
Authentic aspirations conflated with
Silly dreams
You don't really love her, Billie Jean
But the kid is ours
'Cause the inequity, ineptitude
And the prisons ours
Reapin' what we sow as I
Get deeper in these flows
Truth watered down as you feel that
You deeper in the know livin' for the yeses
But feel deeper in the noes
There's value in solitude
But it's cheaper with the bros
Voice of a genеration, I'm a sleeper
You should know shh
You hear that creakin' in thе door?
That's me creepin' in the door
While the flood of all the feelings you
Been harborin' start leakin' on the floor
We all gon' be cast to sea whether
You actually see all the travesty
Why be a student to be
Abandoned by the faculty?
So all the best pupils turn to oligarchs
I'm from where schools of minnows get minused
If you are not a shark
The manhood fragile, the plans push cattle
The judgment that come from our hostile often
Made by the Klan hood's gavel
Appointed by the masters of the masses
What's a celebrity really but a distraction?
Pledge to a constitution of captions
Idols I aspired to back
Then is all collapsin'
Off of the traction, I'm feelin' trapped in
Every verse I ever did was meta
So I'm prepared for whatever
My greatness ain't defined by
The space that occupies
How can I be optimist when I gotta optimize?
Success is limited
How can I not opt for mines?
Was the best and the worst of times
Directionless as I ascend while
The world declines searchin' for a purpose
I am tryna do essential work where
Artists just nurse the blind
