Monarch Lyrics by Subhas

Not a Public Assembly

2018

Standing on the shoulders of giants…
Still I seek a grander design
I see them signs... still we trying
Will I reach a time? Still we trying
Looking down, it’s a waste of time, looking up still got ways to climb
Looking down, it’s a waste of time, looking up…

If architecture is frozen music, let our children sing
Intelligent design into their own shrines
And the schools can be the scaffolding
Man I’m baffled in the times that we in castled in
You fastened in? I’m ready now so let’s begin dismantling
School startin’ to test my patience
Teacher what is your name? Miss Education, so…
Let me see your hands up one time…
All the kids in the back of the class
Held back stream never to pass, never do math or fit in
Too busy dreaming to listen, listen
Fathom this, we can be catalyst
I got the candle lit for something cataclysmic
You gotta know your richtigs
Never trust the tactic
When they say dialect don’t fit dialectic so…
We reject all your cookie cutter moulds
The scripts bound in gold, it will not fold
Fuck what we are told and sold
It’s growing old we kicking down the totem pole
Never stick to status quo
Keep your head high, raise your decibels
Never bout the decimals
Where your hands at, go grab what you destined for

[FAUXE]
If you seek you will find
A hundred days colourblind
No more chasing girls all the time
My wings they don’t know to decline

I can take you to see the sun, the moon, the stars…
Reach so high Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Raise the bar for those who came before us
But give me the time of day
I’ll devour the hour
Never cower
My immaculate brain power
Precipitate in rain showers
Hoping this land I plower
Grow way beyond your ivory tower
I worry every day is this future ours?
I know that you waiting
I know it’s frustrating
I know that it takes time…
But I know that…
That I need empathy, it makes sense to me
That the cut-off point cut off curiosity
And there’s a truth embedded in our history
But they twist it up like it’s a mystery
Now I got mandarin meandering through my mental
Thinking about parallels and paths less pushed down
Times I was shushed down, putting the book down
Stand in the corner, my mind at standstill
Express yourself through this 2B pencil
With the thoughts I had in between recess, my knees scratched
I tried to do my best on these tests, I reach back
I tried to do my best on these tests, I detest
Report card saying: boisterous
Questions outside the syllabus
NAPFA test had to prove my speed
As we proceed had to sow the seeds, so
Treat our children like butterflies
I wanna see them all thrive
Let them spread those wings of change
We try to freeze and display instead of fly
So
Go
Grow
Fail
Evolve
Stay
Bold
Prove
Them all
The butterfly effect works forwards too
Metamorphosis starts inside of you and
We were born with the license to dream…
For the time being, everything is not what it seems…
