Distant. Lyrics by AKINYEMI

2016

[Hook] x2
Now my
Sword swinging
Directions and ear ringing
Inflection upon voices
Hoarse and non-important
I’m lord praying, but figured
He's non existent
Dismiss belief
Church, I stay.. distant

[Verse 1]
Take me back to middle school
Put upon the armor for the first time
First lie, told my mom I'm honored
As the first guy, to never cut class
Skip school, diss rules, it's cool
How I'm acting, asking momma for the gift
Same question asking poppa, 3 o'clock is for the lift
How was school? what you learned today?
“I took a lighter, burned his face.”
Growing pains inside my brain
I never told my family
Computer science major-rapper
Grown-up as the man you see
Manuscript was empty
Wrote this shit in google docs
And I’m compiling all arrays...
What’s the code to kick rocks?
Split profit, with my band members
Seeding from our damn ventures
JJ got his hand severed
Crazy fans

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
That's what really happened
Spewing lies
They from the captain
Of the ship
It's sinking slowly
Facing death
You turning holy, huh?
While reciting scripture
Look through verses for encryption
And the chapter filled with symptoms
Feel your soul like ravioli
I’m..out the box, unusual
My fate is pharmaceutical
And soon I'll see the silence
Provided by all your funerals
There's not a casket
Cubicles
It's suitable to feed a fool
But honestly, it's hard to see
You're beautiful exceeding school
Why can't you be patient?
Be a doctor, get some patients
Know if I can, you can make it
Pass your classes, graduation
(Uhh)
"Well my class is vacant
Ain't no teacher for debating
See I'm seeking greater knowledge
Nigga fuck a piece of paper"

[Hook]
