PLATO’S CAVERN Lyrics by L (Rapper)

SO HELP ME GAIA

2018

[Pre-Chorus]
All these chains on my neck, from slaving away
With the pain on my back, weighting about 1K
Need more, need 23 more
To feel the magic
To feel like Jordan, Game 6 mode
A '98 classic
But I feel it's on a rerun every time I'm on these tracks
Mining inside this cavern while I'm minding my business
Always second guessing bout the could'ves and what if's
Picturing visions as if I'm living the moment
But I pick up my pick axe to pick up back where I left off
Before I pick up the pistol and take a shot to my head off
And I know it takes a minute, going back and forth to get off
But just imagine where we'll go the next moment we lift off

[Chorus: chained prisoners]
I just wanna go back home
But I don't know where I came from
Take me there
Just take me back
I don't wanna waste my time by making sense
But making dimes
Place me somewhere..
Lost in this cave elsewhere

[Verse 1]
Still lost, but confidently going
I'm like Sabrina Claudio, all alone, but I'm not lonely
I look up to the clouds as if they wanna get to know me
Momma aren't you proud that the Gods chose not to throw me?
Been awhile since the last I talked to homies
I remember in the last life, sacks and packs of stogies
Laughed around the fire for the last time telling stories
Now time can only tell whenever I can tell my story

And is it me or does this cavern make you sadder?
The longer in the dark, no longer saturated
You feel weak due to patterns and routines, by the week
But on the other hand, you follow Saturn with its count of rings
Traveling through your space, catching stars, wishing dreams
With your path, there are challenges awaiting by your feet
So it's time to take the chances through the cavern and you'll see
These new heights, improved smiles, as you're climbing to your peak so

No more saying..

[Chorus: chained prisoners]
I just wanna go back home
But I don't know where I came from
Take me there
Just take me back
I don't wanna waste my time by making sense
But making dimes
Place me somewhere..
Lost in this cave elsewhere

[Verse 2]
Easier said than done, but the real question is
When'll you actually start?
No offense, but
You said tomorrow yesterday
And no, I'm not LeBeouf
But I hope you don't delay
And I'm a hypocrite for that, cause here I am procrastinating
As I keep on asking lately, "Where am I going?"
"Where am I headed?"
"I wanna go home, I wanna be dead,"
The longer I go, the harder it gets
But I know these fucking obstacles
Are the ones that make me who I am
So no regrets, no more doubts
Cause life short, so don't forget
Stop the pouting, I am proud if no one else is there around

Just keep digging your tunnels, I'll see you on the other side
And if you ever lose your shovel, I'll be sure to share the light
If you ever lose control, I'll pick you up and keep on riding
Just keep on taking your notes from what you know, to keep surviving
It's wet along the trenches in this war that's bound to dilate
And though I'd hate to violate, the rest is up to us today

So no more..

[Chorus: chained prisoners]
I just wanna go back home
But I don't know where I came from
Take me there
Just take me back
I don't wanna waste my time by making sense
But making dimes
Place me somewhere..
Lost in this cave elsewhere

Take me back..
Take me there..
