Elevator Mind

Trying to dip my toes down
In the pool now
Just to cool down
I wish I knew back then what I do know what I do now
And who you telling
Trying to take pieces of my mind but I’m not selling
And I’m not dwelling on time that’s been wasted
On toxic relations
That’s been patiently waiting to break shit without explanation
On why we haven’t been so adjacent
Or why I start to feel so complacent
No hesitation
Don’t even say shit
Then I told some family I was moving
They said you could be losing from this shit you trying be proving
Gon take ya chances if you fail you gon look stupid
But if you actually make it always knew that you could do it
So I’ve been traveling through alleys
Crowd parties
Empty stairways of forgotten sorries
Linking up with tomorrow sorrows that leave like hardly
Make it permanent
So they should take the test with sharpies

Pass my mind my mind
Read some lines some lines
Write more rhymes more rhymes
I don’t mind

Pass my mind my mind
Read more lines more lines
Waste more time more time
I don’t mind

You ought to be
Studying philosophy
Quoting Deuteronomy
Or crying while watching romantic comedies
Commonly things fall apart when the tables get wobbly
They shake and they toss and they turn ruin in quality oh
Moving silently oh
Moving quietly
Privately having privacy though
Then I realized that I should find where my mind would be
Then I found out she was calming anxiety
Ironically
That’s exactly what I needed
Cause playing for my sanity was playing hard on defense
As I try to remain anonymous
Or chose between platonic love and wanting to be monogamous
Or at least consistent
I found what I’ve been missing
Or what I’ve been wishing
On wish list
Like asking for money on Christmas
Or the riches diamond rings and bitches

Pass my mind my mind

That’s magnificent
On a chase to them Benjamin’s
Losing they sentiment
They lose they self or they act ignorant
To the world around them
Or they back in systems exactly where they found them
Or how I am losing all my brothers
Or how they building walls around some shit like they discovered it
Or how you go some years without clean water
Or how they don't bat an eye when people standing a boards
Or how you have daughters
And you misogynistic
Or how you Ivy League but don’t know what the fuck consent is
I’m convinced then that you out of all your senses
Trying to stack excuses on excuses that’s longer than your sentence
Or how we look like hoes in the judicial system pimping
Pimping I’m steady sipping
And I simply does as simply do
We simply followed you so what’s a simpleton to do

Pass my mind my mind
