Monolith Lyrics by Graphic Melee

Deeper

2019

Shouldered the world's weight like I'm Atlas the great
As a child I watched visions of the path I would take
With no religion that a pastor could save
I will Nat Turner the place this not the path of a slave
This that coming home to broken locks. Open doors hopin' not
To take a step and be a victim of another smokin' Glock...
Master yourself the rest of the game is simple
Keep the brain nimble to keep you from going mental
Flow philosopher, coppin' what the Rastas burn
From pusher to pushing paper nine to five like office work
My words like water pouring when you feel thirstin'
Like the words of a slave penned by Zora Neale Hurston
I didn't climb this mountain just to die at the peak
Acknowledge my thoughts the knowledge you been dying to seek
Hidden in plain sight to pen it I strain my
Being seeing a world of vision grown from the same light
Maxed in mansions, crashed couches in trap houses
Rappers afraid of telling the truth I rap bout it
Let those shackles get comfortable you'll never take 'em off
They told you that Icarus tale hoping you never taking off
Still fly with no wings or feathers
Burden my thoughts building a nest to string together
My rubric's penning Kubrick visuals with my music
I taught the world to dream lucid while they dreaming I lose it
Monolith...
Monolith...
Monolith...
Monolith...
Wrestled with repetitions of visions you couldn't make up
Cosmetic damage that make 'em hallucinate some
Symptoms from, heartache that scar like break ups
But blood lost thicker than water that make a lake up
Wrong path to stray from
Gone past the markers where most marchers had gave up
The art of making the utmost outta the hopes I came from
Started out doubted hardest now look around who remain from
Only the passionate passing pain with patients
Persistence paying gains in this puzzled game we playin
I'll unmuzzle my brain displaying Renaissance painting
Da Vinci but no Leo they hold lions in cages
Bread and circus to full circle the purpose
Fed and entertained folks not prone to searching
For problems with their sovereigns even when they robbin them
Like watching pick pockets steal ya wallets and then applaudin' them
The crowd goes wild like apes in space odysseys
When the problematic prodigy audibly drop a prophecy
Probably ahead of my time had a flash drive in past lives
With files from when humankind spoke rhyme for the last time Monolithic, modern mixed with biblical
Vivid timelessness that's fitting for times we living through
Be like dying just to see to your own birth
I'll raise the bar 60 miles high eyeing the whole earth
Monolith...
Monolith...
Monolith...
Monolith...
