THINGS FALL APART

Lyrics

Hey yo peace to my ex wife I promise I'll be better in the next life I hope you have a blessed life When you gave birth my heart jumped out of my chest right Into the world and started fucking walking around Singing songs, eating strawberries She the realest Bless you for making her My fault I couldn't be the man that could treat you right I let my ego destroy me Blind to my privileges, everybody is, that's the nature of privilege, isn't it? I'm trippin off my own bullshit Weep about the past and learn from it Sorry to the women I did wrong I swear it wasn't malicious intent just ignorance So I slipped into the void and let it empty my soul I lost track of the real me Took a long time but I can finally feel meek Learning all the new dimensions of love I'm leveling up I'm living to better my love So I'll never be stuck, having to apologize again and again Just not fuck up in the first place Ain't a contest, no first place Ain't a context in the first place Everything's subjective and relative I'm trying to do what's good for my people and my relatives Life is a trip mayne Hella shit go wrong Born the same day as Chinua Achebe mayne, it's heavay The center can't hold its written in the star charts Art is a lart daw life is the hard part Fuck it, its easy too don't die Where the lie? I ain't see no lie Truth is in the air that we breathe in and out Simple and plain, live with the pain Try and turn it into something that's beautiful Learn to forgive everybody including yourself These raps is my therapy try'na cut the toxicity out of the lyricism The free market harms art fills it with bad habits A bad feminist is a bad anarchist I'm guilty of hypocrisy working on consistency now The intersections of the struggle for liberation are infinite Life is a process, progress The work ain't ever done That's the daily task of livin I ain't even tryna ask forgiveness from anybody Just trying to be better, live love breathe better We need better for the C's they do what they see and that's me too Nobody beyond the hypnotism can get into the crevices of your soul You gotta transform all of that energy into something positive Like…you know Like…how they make fuel from burning trash They wanna hate then serve them the ash of the hate that they gave you Exhumed in the love of your soul furnace The soul furnace with the love sculptures, admire that Fuck material wealth The real concept of peace Is the truest wealth, acquire that Fortunately it resides in the core of you Your own private pelicula, yours to view Heh… Know that when you speak there's more to do After the words leave the lips you got limbs to fashion the ships that set sail on the ocean of history Be on the side of the gentle, the tenderness That's truly without a price Watch the love expand like a pound of rice Boiling in a pot of hot water Burning some weed watching Godfather Bout to go pick up my daughter from pre-school But I had to kick a quick little rhyme for the people Aight peace yo I'm out
