7
My mind speaks mathematics
8
Sometimes I feel english is a poor translation of my hearts palpations
9
That's why I give it to you quarter notes at a time
10
So that my rhymes are aided by body gyrations
11
But now it's like each hymn ain't nothing but a word with--
12
Countless synonymns where should I begin with them?
13
Every +sentence+ is a jail bid
14
Locking me in to +bars+ of meaning with so much space between them
15
And it's all real
16
If I took a little bit of time
17
To reflect on the unreal my brain might peel off my mind
18
To reveal this pegasus spree well
19
Whole-sale fairytale echo in a conch shell
20
But why say it if you can't see it?
21
I can call it abstract and say take what you want from it
22
I could do that all day till my tongue goes numb from it
23
But see what good will come from it?
24
I got something to say, I can't run from it
25
I gotta confront it. I can't watch while this...
26
Music that taught me so much as a child
27
Grows louder every day but the world grows dumb from it
28
So every line that I draw from my pen
29
It shapes a letter that makes a word that feeds a verse
30
A swim for home, a place for infinite styles
31
But it feels like 9000 miles
32
So I...
33
{stroke} Through Atlantic
34
{stroke} Through the Pacific
35
{stroke} Through the Indian
36
{stroke} Through the Arctic
37
{stroke} Through the cold current
38
{stroke} Through the warm current
39
{stroke} To the fare in the foul for 9000 miles
40
{stroke} Like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships
41
{stroke} From a suicide jump to a brave trip
42
{stroke} Like you see shore line in the distance
43
{stroke} Like if you don't, you'll drown any instance
44
So here we are again
45
The same space in mind but now we in a different place at a different time
46
A different taste to a different rhyme
47
With so many flavors to embrace, I can't waste a line
48
So I'm going for self with no hesitation
49
Cause my-- self expression is my self preservation
50
My skills pay bills to fulfill my will to do for others what I do for myself
51
Like motivation through verses as if it was a virtual conversation
52
On the pros and the cons of a real situation
53
Inspired by my knowledge of self determination
54
To ease the frustrations of miseducations
55
This wise god music from I takin your eye
56
From trials and tribulations to kingdom in the patience
57
This wide hallpath is beaten by beats
58
Made from good vibrations passed down for generations
59
On a...
60
{stroke} Through Atlantic
61
{stroke} Through the Pacific
62
{stroke} Through the Indian
63
{stroke} Through the Arctic
64
{stroke} Through the cold current
65
{stroke} Through the warm current
66
{stroke} To the fare in the foul for 9000 miles
67
{stroke} Like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships
68
{stroke} From a suicide jump to a brave trip
69
{stroke} Like you see shore line in the distance
70
{stroke} Like if you don't, you'll drown any instance
71
I get hyped. I get home at night. I get a beat in my head
72
I get my book to write, I get writers block
73
I get so stressed that I get dope rhymes from it, just to get rest
74
I get frustrated from this old world mess
75
So when I got to get the bad air out my chest
76
I get on the mic and strive to be the best
77
But it's not just the flow, There's more to the test
78
I gotta spit like there's no time to waste
79
Spit like I can't take away this life taste
80
Spit for rebellion, spit for resistance
81
Spit for accuracy, spit for distance
82
I can't just spit that shit you could market
83
Even though I know we got the same target
84
And I can't just spit that old rhetoric
85
I gotta spit what's ten steps ahead of it
86
I gotta spit for the life of my kids
87
And not just the next meal for my next deal
88
I feel like these rhymes could shape tommorow
89
So they could walk through it with a little less sorrow
90
I gotta spit out the mouth these protections
91
And stick and move these lines for perfection
92
I gotta spit shit no one ever thought of
93
Spit like I'mma choke on the salt water
94
When I...
95
{stroke} Through Atlantic
96
{stroke} Through the Pacific
97
{stroke} Through the Indian
98
{stroke} Through the Arctic
99
{stroke} Through the cold current
100
{stroke} Through the warm current
101
{stroke} To the fare in the foul for 9000 miles
102
{stroke} Like your swimming from the sharks and the slave ships
103
{stroke} From a suicide jump to a brave trip
104
{stroke} Like you see shore line in the distance
105
{stroke} Like if you don't, you'll drown any instance
106
{stroke}
