BASTARD Lyrics by Ta’East

BEYOND THE HALO EFFECT - EP

2022

Which mothafucka stole my flow
Eenie, meeny, miny, mo
Throw them type of niggas right out my window
Chill, chill, chill, hold up
Throw them type of niggas right out my window
Blast yo' ass, hit you with a direct blow

Uh, I’m done being modest
Drop these jewels and you pawn ‘em
Melanin rich, oh my god!
If you want it, I got it
Seem like the whole world got me fucked up
Whole world got me fucked up
If I'm honest
Still ain't found my balance
All I wanted was some guidance

I can’t be mad at certain people who have walked away from me
Or question why so often we don't speak
When I'm thе same person seeing imposters
And I drop to takе a knee
And ask to take ‘em all away from me
I'm often misconceived
I look into my nephews eyes
I see apart of me I promise not to leave
Cause when I was his age
I wish I had somebody I believed
But I was screaming “all I got is me”
I bartered a degree for something real
Something I can feel
But the benefit is past due
I'm from a generation where the grading system needed curves
And the teachers kick you out the classroom
Yeah cash rules
Everything around me is blurred
Everything around me unlearned
I need to stop praying when something's wrong
Or only when I want something
Can't believe I found these words
Hold up

Uh, I'm done being modest
Drop these jewels and you pawn ‘em
Melanin rich, oh my god!
If you want it, I got it
Seem like the whole world got me fucked up
Whole world got me fucked up
If I’m honest
Still ain’t found my balance
All I wanted was some guidance

All I wanted was a goddess
Fat booty with a conscience
Attitude, but she gorgeous
She leave me, I get nauseous
I get weary of the vultures
Never scary, I'm just cautious

Nowadays the colors are brighter
The women are prettier
From Burbank to Whittier
Found the fountain of youth, turn the Henny up
For us bias, I’m inconsiderate
Little to y'all knowledge, we spend the same dollar
Wake up everyday with the same problems
The pressure's emphatic
The stress is post traumatic
How we change your world, but never changed ours?
Taking legacy, putting it under one name
You know we all gon' be brown one day
Runnin’ one race, one way
Go outside tryin' not to run in place

Uh, I'm done being modest
Drop black jewels and you pawn ‘em
Melanin rich, oh my god!
If you want it, I got it
Seem like the whole world got me fucked up
Whole world got me fucked up
If I'm honest
Still ain't found my balance
All I wanted was some guidance

(So what is a halo?)
You don't know, you don't know?
You don't know?
It's the spirit of God
See, the spirit of God is omnipotent
And it works on…
It'll work on yo' ass and I can be far far away
(Halo)
