88 and Beyond

I renamed myself Kimmortal
Cos I sense a thousand portals
Flow through venous systems
Boom bop beats for circulation
Indigo kids in the studio and art room
Channel into new tunes
Lettin’ spirit speak through
Pick the common thread out of the news
Weave that new new
I’m seein’ seas in their shallow translations
That lack imagination
Art as incantation where it’s all in relation
Umbilical connection
No separation
Hand hold the Bangka
Carvin’ out a mantra
Aalaga para sa mga bata
Rock it Ilocana just like my mama
I'm queer like the water, resilient through trauma
How can we move when some of us are wounded?
Patience in cycles, motion and movement
All lives won’t matter till black lives matter
Bound up in liberation with indigenous nations
To infinity

88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Even bigger than this song
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels

I’m crooked on your book of lines
Circled them a thousand times
Scribble with my tangents
Settin’ fire on your palace white
Ivory towers keep powers cinematic
Illusion unsustainable
Rapper slash actress
Income unpredictable
Nothing stay romantic
Relationship to art unstable
But commit to back it
Fuck about a cool façade
Lies glasses
Reindigenize, travel time, this intergalactic
Open letter to the ill emcees building blocks that
Only serve to box us in my zone the equinox
A planetarium, shit kaleidoscopic
Mark it up with copics
Animated graphic
I am the motion
Not a decoration
Welcome to my universe
Check my constellation
If you hangin’ by a thread
Hold these lines for survival
My legacy the seed ascending
This is our arrival

88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Even bigger than this song
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels
