Broken Water
Chorus:
This is my genesis, my birth
Creation of my earth
Beginning of a new day – awaken from the dirt
This is the rising of the son
They never saw me coming – here I come
Verse 1:
Like a lady in labor I push
My spirit to limits no one could imagine
So much pressure lungs’ll collapse and skulls’ll get smashed in
Millions die, hundreds adapting
Situations tighter than the muscles in her stomach contracting
So we hunt till we catch them
It’s a jungle – this the dungeon we trapped in
Blood splashed over last crumbs – hunger and famine
No one trust their own actions
Predators become the preys – what the fuck’s gonna happen?
Sharks drown - and dark clouds cover this atlas
Hearts pound – heavy pulses and tantrums
Everybody falls down
The shocks is electric
Bodies drop - on every block it gets hectic
Cops be calling cops who call the nurses, doctors, and medics
The pills are popped for the headaches
It gotsta be the way hip hop is presented
And how emcees just stand and watch, it’s pathetic
But I’m coming – hear me knock and regret it
I take you back in time so turn your clocks if you dummies forgot to reset it
Verse 2:
So train your dawgs cuz they biting
Draw your swords against the R with hyphen
I’ve seen it all before – shallow people call it exciting
Practice the art of war – I master it fully
A mad and a hungry rap artist – the canvas is bloody
Damn it, you can’t be this lucky
But what’s this thing you call luck?
I think I ran out of it, but how can I run when I’m stuck?
I never wanted to come out, I was tough
C-section – my mother’s belly had to cut
I felt the vibe in my gut
Now I’m just glad I got up and made it on Noa’s Arc – surviving the flood
But all the other real ones died
Verse 3:
I’m too deep to reach the surface
Seeing other people succeeding hurts us
Deceiving serpents with their poker faces
I know their hate is beneath the surface
Cuz I see thru curtains – it’s dark
My pens in my claws with a state of mind where the logic don’t make sense anymore
Clear eyes - get into the storm - deliver the message
I feel this shit is getting depressive – a mental recession
Used to be crumbled up in fetal position – sitting with knees bend
But now I’m skinny dipping in the deep end
With sharks and piranhas in ice water with no dolphins among us
I’m trapped in this ocean – I look up – the surface is frozen
I don’t just stand here bluffing
The topic of your last discussion was atomic bombs
But ignorance is the weapon of mass destruction
I take a stand for something
Just understand I’m coming
So don’t you forget it dawg, write it down on your hand or something
Verse 4:
Cuz everything falls – falls in place
The revolution’s arrived
Who am I to change the world? – I ain’t
The revolution’s inside
Squash the beef with the self – the heart fuse with the mind
Soon as the weakest link of the chain is removed and untied
Refuse to move with the times – call me stubborn
We losing too many lives
The guilty just rides, the innocent punished – cuz they judge us
I’m getting into it, fuck it
I feel the rhythm getting intimate
Others is feeling tensed when I touch it
They don’t want it – they feel hunted
I test fears – I confront it
For X years I witnessed widows shed tears for their husbands
My tongues has tasted the blood, sweat, and tears and I love it
I shave my heads hair and make the feds stare cuz we rugged
Listen with stretched ears
Why we left here? – take the square root of X squared
But I give you a breath of this fresh air
Cus water breaks when you’re born
In the code of honor – I came to break the ice, emerging from broken water
