Ikigai Lyrics by Xénothecreator

Kebra Nagast: Book of the Dead

2020

Energy's shifting and it's fucking with my mental
Morning thoughts of suicide
'cuz life is never simple
But simple living's simple
So why don't more people try it
Maybe it's because we still mad that we had to fucking riot
Just to get they attention
Man this Smith and Wesson is ready to blow
I'm letting them know
I'm ready to go
That pretty soon the veil will open up
And the whole globe
Will see the planets align
High vibrations you ain't on my time
Goddamn it's getting crazy out here
Everybody catching COVID and be living in fear
And when my father said the news
I still ain't shed a fucking tear
Cuz I been fucked up
Still tryna process what happened last year
Crying my heart out in the back of the whip
I get faded off gelato to make sure I don't slip
Cuz even though it's crazy now
I'll admit I came a long way
From tryna hang myself
In the gym class in the 12th grade
Now 12 raised the fucking brackets of war
And I can't even walk around wearing jackets no more
Cuz if they see a black man with his hood up
They'll smoke him like a Black, man
Pull up in a black van
And shoot his hood up
Yeah 20/20 vision is the goal
So in 2020 I been on a mission of the soul
It's been filled with celebration
And frustration
And making all sorts of money moves
That kept changing
Goddamn
Another black man just died as I write this
They murder off our hometown heroes
And replace them with zeros
Now that could mean the commas on the bills
Or it could mean the politicians who have yet to sign a bill
That really brought about change
Can't rely on the fuck niggas that poison our brains
This is our time
Our fight
Break from the chains
Willie tryna flip the script
So when we catch them late at night
We finna make sure Willie Lynch
By the the dark of the moon
I swear I'm never giving in
Even on the days I feel like I won't ever get it in
I was put here to lead the masses out of the apocalypse
And into the New Earth
Where love holds no consequence
