Rockin the boat can feel the sense of misadventure
I spit a flow just like the Mississippi River
I claim to hold the truth until you prove it fiction
Vibes from the soul work as good lubricant for friction
Life's rabbit hole's forever deep but still brings wisdom
Times bound to show us new perspectives unconsidered
Hard freeing souls within this wicked globes agenda
Gotta be strong
Message deep as you gone let it be
I keep it in my head when I don't free myself poetically
Need peace I'm on the edge the truth I peep make me live skeptically
May think I'm moving threateningly
Can't see the world that threatens me
Leaving out my history criminalize and then discredit me
Preaching lies of liberty itching to lock me up indefinitely
For petty things convict me of what they do contradictory
Enslaved in penitentiaries labor provides for business ledger sheets
Discriminatory practices still serve to steal my wealth from me
Peace ain't found in ghettos just to eat people do anything
Done seen way too much death on the TV and in my family tree
Defeated feeling helpless systems out for us and next is me
Rockin the boat can feel the sense of misadventure
I spit a flow just like the Mississippi River
I claim to hold the truth until you prove it fiction
Vibes from the soul work as good lubricant for friction
Life's rabbit hole's forever deep but still brings wisdom
Times bound to show us new perspectives unconsidered
Hard freeing souls within this wicked globes agenda
Gotta be strong
Humble soul I ain't trying I'm just being myself
Went and got a degree I'm focused on building this wealth
But the higher that I go and the image that I'm sold
I realize that these jobs don't want me being myself
Not only did they find that I'm trynna be the greatest rapper
Hell I ain't the token nigga your company aiming after
Nigga from the streets my run-ins with police
Ended up with a piece to my head like bunny ears
Only 16 Mama at work Daddy on drugs
I knew the system wasn't for a nigga like me
I clock-in and code-switch because it's pain in my voice
And every nigga in this bitch sound exactly like me believe
Rockin the boat can feel the sense of misadventure
I spit a flow just like the Mississippi River
I claim to hold the truth until you prove it fiction
Vibes from the soul work as good lubricant for friction
Life's rabbit hole's forever deep but still brings wisdom
Times bound to show us new perspectives unconsidered
Hard freeing souls within this wicked globes agenda
Gotta be strong
