Vapors

[Verse 1]
"What is life?"
Questions that we ask at night, after that 9-to-5 shift
The one ya pockets get ripped off
And boss get ticked off
'Cause his dad was only present at his inception
Embedded in his perception is dead presidents
So he makes the world pay for his residence
Indebted in artificial intelligence
Super-a-ficial sediments
Collect like condensation, on the minds eye
Time flies
Repression makes you think you can erase it
But like a hater efforts are irrelevant
'Cause memories remain like skeletons
Dressed up in Versace, pimped out embellishments
We stay relishing
We stay avoiding the truth
Vaporing on about the glory days of our youth
And I can be aloof too
Going through life with a sweet tooth
But can't savor the moment
Like I'm on it

[Chorus]
What is life, what is life, what is life
But a fleeting moment
But a fleeting moment, fleeting moment?
What is life, what is life, what is life
But a fleeting moment
Fleeting moment, fleeting moment?

[Verse 2]
Blessed are the meek and the makers
The sleepwalkers and wakers
'Cause we all just vapors
Moments alive
Take a second and breathe it in, rewind
Now press pause and get lost in time
The moment we had was fleeting
Thought we couldn't escape it
If only we had known we were just vapors
I give kudos to the wind
It carries my sin
I blow kisses to the kin who carry the wind
Holding a phoenix of a recanted version of a Venus
That we could've completed
Reborn bloody as hell but alive and well
And emptier than a gun without a shel
But my soul shall prevail this earthly hell
I can't derail
You smell that - it's freedom
You see that soil, I seed em
Water the ground and reap 'em
I keep on, searching for walking murals
Living stones in ghettos and boroughs
The ones who ain't afraid to make change like Euro's
My hero’s are Nina, Cornell West, Ameena
Black Jungle Squad and all the weirdos who wear clothes from thrift stores
The fashion icons of Brookyln
Ma struttin' like she’s in Milan
Beautiful black brown indigenous - you feelin' this?
You healing yet?
You reeling yet?
Let's take off, space cadet
Vaporettes

[Bridge]
Dust blowing in the wind
Sweet like a mandolin
Nowhere to go but up from here, yea-eah
Flesh soon will disappear
But the soul it will draw near
And you know just what it is

[Verse 3]
His word says that the first will be last
And those that we scoff at will get pass
Why?
'Cause his love is so vast
Vaster than ya preacher, teacher, leader
None, none other can save ya
None but the Savior
Outcast, stranger
Prisoner behind bars
Those He will call in advance
Will call on His name
And He saved me
I'm a living witness, proud misfit
You can call it holy mischief
Yeah, that’s it
Yahweh, Maker
I'd be lost without Ya
Invited to the table
You set a feast, now we're able
So full off Your love, I'm grubbing it up
Taking 1st, 2nd, 3rds
It's like I can't get enough
All the poor and the weakened
Take your place in the Kingdom
Make ya ting done run will
L boogie style, yeah

[Chorus]
What is life, what is life, what is life
But a fleeting moment
But a fleeting moment, fleeting moment?
What is life, what is life, what is life
But a fleeting moment
Fleeting moment, fleeting moment?

[Outro & Vocalizing]
What is life, life
But a fleeting moment, yea-eah?
