Intro Lyrics by Abstract Mindstate

Still Paying

2021

[Intro: Malik Yusef]
Yeah, Abstract Mindstate
Wordsmith Malik Yu
Hellcat, Olskool Ice-Gre, yo
Check it out
[Chorus: Ashaki Djenaba]
Fluid as I am
But I'm feeling dam
Like I just cannot flow
Fluid as I am
Now I'm feeling dam
'Cause I just cannot flow
[Spoken Word: Malik Yusef]
'Cause of this constant state of oppression
Got me living in a deep state of depression
My ill state is in recession
Got me fessin' up to crimes I just didn't commit
I've gotten on stage to certain rhymes I just didn't commit
The times that I didn't permit my mind to be abstract
Sometimes a slab of crack can help build a foundation
I ain't sure if this music shit can build a sound nation
Radio reluctant to rotate
Afraid that pure flow might drown stations
But between us and them y'all, there's a difference
And we just trying to make one
No time for fake ones
This here's a record and we just trying to break one
And we ain't always right but we always write for those who never get written fo'
They love when we come through spittin' dro
They wake up every motherfucking morning, gamble they fucking life
Like what they hittin' fo'?
I refuse to let y'all think spoken word is a kitten flow
We have been prophesized to hit y'all dead in the head like tall philistines
I'm all well but, uh-huh, got the illest lines
Hard to find a story as real as mine
Abused by my momma
A pair of black stone shades at the age of ten, a muslim living in a pig pen
But now I'm Racer X just tryin' to bring y'all up to speed
Don't wanna interrupt y'all weed just trying to give y'all what y'all need
And we here to raise the bar
How the fuck we live in the city where y'all ignore the producer but praise the star?
Ten years ago I would've easily blazed your car with a silencer
But now some of my best phrases are spoken in sign languages
Each line anguishes over the modern-day slave trade
So many auction blocks out in the gardens
This is just a letter regarding the state of the union
This unholy communion where they drink my blood as wine and take halal flesh and eat it with swine
I have been known by and know the divine and I taste of steel
Stand-off with the Grim Reaper and I faced her grill
Here's a list of things that I wanna give him just in case Carl Thomas and R. Kells ever get a chance to wish again
The mesonic messiah baptizing him in fire on my walk from Jordan to Lake Michigan
