MindField

[Verse 1]

My culture has beauty but lament pervades
Saturated with self and black parades
It persecutes the body and the slaughter still legal
Man turned beast, and the feast turns lethal
We forfeit the regal, crown cast to the ground
Talents twisted narcissistic, examples abound
Trample on his mercy put the nails back on beams
Removing his presence is not as glamorous as it seems
Smoke and mirrors, plastic figures with no substance
And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t
_____________________________________________
Stand with my fellow man facing rejection
How much of this real, how much is perception?
Is he really my enemy Can I risk my heart?
Embrace the cross & let life imitate art
Struggle to love in the face of hate
Maybe it’s my hate, it’s a constant debate
Is this authentic or a media stunt
Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't

[Chorus]

I'm sand in you hour glass, walking on the line
Trying to make my way through this invention called time
Push through open door but found that it wasn't
And sometimes it clicks and sometimes in doesn't

[Verse 2]

Let’s get to it, straight to, like thorns piercing through it
My request is simple at best don’t let this quest end in vain
In the desert of my soul I pray for rain
In the MindField of my heart I pray for rain
With this problem of pain I try to maintain this Quo
A status yet pushing past it struggling trying to grow
Unlatch the window and let it blow deep inside this soul
I want a wear a crown of thorns instead one of pure gold
This world is getting old same old drama it seems
Eye, flesh and pride disguised as American dreams
Just schemes that leave the seeker empty
While glossing over banquets of the good and the plenty
Who sent me? that’s what they all keep asking
Got this priest on this microphone and rappin, simple packing
Grabbing nothing for the landing
With echoes in the distance from that last man standing

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Cautious steps taken to navigate through safely
I feel that stir deep in my stomach on the daily
Signs say this is the light but it feel like a cold night
He said this is the way, I'm just hoping I heard it right
Called to walk it but the unknown can blur my vision
The path may be clear but I'm just waiting for the collision
Chasing shadows, dark whispers can cloud my judgement
And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't

Layers of history found on the side of a mountain
A drop of water in the rushing flow of a fountain
The universe is vast, I'm just a spec on this planet
Billions of faces but not one taken for granted
Lost forever but rescued by love's relentless hunt
And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't
