Down in the jungle
The city rumbles
The critics’ fumble
Not over looks but the crooks behind the city’s downfall
Cats running faster than laughter can catch up with the hunger
A state of mind or a mind at stake that you’re chasing after?
I’m not a rapper I’m crafting what labels can define
Calico skirts and shawls
Blood right beneath my eyes
Cherokee and American
Some call it black and white
Three sisters eating and praying your cries are heard on high
If any word or a term here seems to slip your mind
Don’t rest in ignorance hold me down asking what and why
I know the drums are a steady home need them to survive
My answer anytime I’m questioning why I’m alive
I’m two minds deep when you talk to me
And no one ever really seems to notice me
It’s hard cause I know the veil is all you see it's all you see
I use love as a weapon
I take trust like a sedative
Open up, then regret it
The sweeter facade, the blacker the berry
I walk on earth so I’m always supported
She always feeds me and needs me
I'm always the daughter never an orphan
I think they see me and deem me as just more of a token
Then wipe their tears with the residue of schema distortions
I had a dream that the world was united
I had a dream that the jungle prevailed when we loved it more than ourselves
I had a dream that we lived with the lions
And before they tore us to pieces we showed them what peace could mean so
We were born and adjusted our iris
Where no color was hard to digest humans started to die less
We built kingdoms with help from the angels
Granted wings just for perspective of it all
And whenever we flew too close to the sun
Our roots would hold us down
I’m two minds deep when you talk to me
And no one ever really seems to notice me
It’s hard cause I know the veil is all you see it's all you see
I use love as a weapon
I take trust like a sedative
Open up, then regret it
The sweeter facade, the blacker the berry
