In a home that don't feel like home for long
Tell the 'black' kid go back to where you came from, you don't belong
Now I'm home bound, and it's profound
...
If I could turn back time
I'd do it all again
The bliss of my mind
...
Intruding on my peaceful night
There's a thought of you that lingers in sight
Holding her pressed against you
It pains me to see you forget me
...
You're not faithful
You're not loyal
A wondering eye
Turns to wandering hands
...
What sweet release to drop the feeling bringing you to your knees
All hail the most high for I am finally free
...
Inside is a training ground
Where hypotheses are lost and found
Limits pushed and tested
Internally is where I'm invested
...
Well damn, did I snitch on myself?
Told the world that I had something else?
Now you're hurrying trynna come back
But man I was happy sittin there in the back
...
I find too many places to close my eyes
Don't you mind what's on my mind
I'm super aware of the flow, but I
tend to stick to what I know
...
Parallel lines
So similar but we focus on the distance
Forcing us together could only create dissonance
A yearning to be together
...
If I were you
I'd open my eyes
And look deep inside
Look past all the lies
...
Amidst the trees and babbling brooks,
Nature's healing power flows and looks.
A sanctuary for the weary soul,
Where the mind can finally feel whole.
...
Over the precipice
And out of the known
If you're all that's left
Who am I to say no
...
I'm colouring in the lines, giving each month it's shade. Capture the vibes in playlists and, sway.
...
You felt like home
Ripped the meat off my bones
Chucked me to the dogs
It was all that I'd known
...
I never shed a tear
Though my heart was crying
I never broke a sweat
Though inside I was dying
...
I've seen the future
And you're in it
It tasted of salt air
...
I am free
And soaring
Thriving and scoring
Loose and happy
...
Home
In a home that don't feel like home for long
Tell the 'black' kid go back to where you came from, you don't belong
Now I'm home bound, and it's profound
Cos I'm feeling like I'm
soon found in this hometown
that I'm told I'm missing
But I touch down and I soon found that nothings different
But they want me to stay
Say I'm different in my ways
…In my face
And there it is.
Earl said it best - I'm paraphrasing don't mind the mess
But ‘too black for the white kids, too white for the rest'
When I got on that plane I thought that I was going home
I was only 14 at the time, identity crisis to the dome
But luck found that it missed
And I found myself in the midst
There was something that everyone else had let slip
A home that no one race, tribe or person could own
A home I was confident that I could call my own
I love it just as life itself because she is what it is
Call her Gaia,
Call her nature,
Call her Earth,
call her what she is…
Home
Leave things as you found them. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. An eye for an eye. Treat people how you want to be treated. Those who say they can and those who say they can't are both right. Always repay your debts. The only person you can ever truly know is yourself. Forgiveness serves you. Help where you can. The obstacle becomes the way.
