Malcom Lyrics by Malcom Mufunde & YaadUniverse

Existence

2022

Verse 1:
Who am I in the grand scheme of things?
Immaterial, so I find joy in the simple things
My little niece just walked her first steps
And soon, she’ll be rapping along to my first tapes
Back when I was rhyming for renown and the ladies
Before I knew my words would be a guidebook for the ages
Before I understood the divine power of literature
And little baby caskets were the most common furniture
Till my mama sat mе down and decided to demonstratе
How to squish out these lemons and make lemonade
Lessons I learned from the citrus trade
How the bitter could be sweet depending on what you add
Started jotting chronicles of life in the tenderloins
Before I even understood what a metaphor is
I found comfort in poetry
In math class, I wrote lines but it wasn’t geometry
Who are you in the grand scheme of things?
I’m a scrivener who opted to put words into being
God blessed me, to the beat of my heart I wrote
Till the lines became awing even my heart would stop
When a fan revealed to me there was something in these lyrics
That spoke to his soul and could uplift his spirit
I perceived my purpose and the role that I would play
In impacting the cosmos in a more beautiful way
The wise told me music is a universal language
So even other worlds will connect with every passage
And when I compose, I am guided by the mindset
That galaxies away, they should apprehend the subject
So this my message to the worlds far beyond
I hope within these notes, we find a way to correspond
Though I’m a million light years away
After a million years, we finally found a way
To you
Hook: Alisea Simmons
How am I supposed to love you when I don’t love who I am?
And how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
‘cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning so let go of my hand
Oh, how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
Verse 2:
I used to think in decades now I’m thinking in days
Came to cherish and appreciate the beautiful years
Coz a decade from now, will I even be here?
God knows what’s ahead, I could be dead in a year
Learnt to be grateful for every little moment I spend
On this marble, ‘cause anytime this tenure may end
If I don’t find any closure from the justice of time
I hope my legend will continue in these pages of rhyme
Thus, I’m not apprehensive of the hereafter
And trust you can hear the joy in my sincere laughter
There’s a tearjerker every eye can read in my scars
But my ultimate account will be written in the stars
So every time you look up to the starlit night
May you ignore the dark spaces and focus on the light?
And sometimes it might feel like the stars are not aligning
But the weather taught me every cloud’s got a silver lining
Who are we in the grand scheme of things?
I found my calling in papyrus and linseed
Without paper, I’d prolly trade my pen for a gun
So them trees gave me life in more ways than one
Thank God I found contentment in communication
And entertainment in these words and their formulation
To be a poet is a calling and a blessing
So I’m kinda humbled by them calling me a blessing
To this art form, and what I mean to the culture
My word’s written in stone and these words are sculptured
Thank heavens for Hip-Hop and letting me know her
It’s my prayer that time will remember these poems
This my missive to the nerd listening from the future
Tethered to the past through the music on your computer
Though you could be a million years away
After a million years, I’m glad this finally found a way
To you
Hook: Alisea Simmons
How am I supposed to love you when I don’t love who I am?
And how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
‘cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning so let go of my hand
Oh, how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?
