Looking Back"Must be a fly in here somewhere, well not anymore, heh heh"Face this Like water never taste this Evil White rose to a racist They used to hype cus my mothers face white and my fathers face blacker than the scene outside a spaceship Flooded with rocks and jewels, crystals shine and shimmer he never let me use their words "due time my jigga" Never called me nigga, said its the masters tongue But being black and white the trouble never asked for none But they all passed me some, fuck it I grabbed it both hands in the darkest sun Scribbled till the parker's done Grabbed another pen and scribbled where the parker's spun Following in footstops of fathers that are asked to run But not the one who wanted out and so they disappear All caught up in the fam and feeling like they interfere I'm thinking my great grandfather could have owned my other one And yo, that shit is weird I'm lost Wondering my cost Telling you it hurts If you don't know your worth So we run from the makers like sons in Jamaica Heart break, breaker like the suns an equator We wasted it, before we even tasted it The cities on fire Quite literally The reason nobodies talking remains a mystery My brothers lost telling him do it differently I wanna take the blame but we don't share the same history I'm lost Wonder my cost up in this space Mixed race, colour on my face feeling misplaced A waste Ain't tryna tell you how my shit taste Pack a couple days in this thin case Make a move Write everyday and night till I say the truth Loose looking for some proof that I'm still in news See I got it all to loose, nothing to prove Promise the day I get paid, I'mma pay my dues Uh, find the Karma told me I'm from Ghana but really its Guyana Uh, I'm Coyle Larner to car [?] the birth place of my fathers father I don't know the answer I'm lost Wondering my cost Telling you it hurts If you don't know your worth So we run from the makers like sons in Jamaica Heart bait breaker, duh, whatever We wasted it, before we even tasted it Fuck "Ay, yeah can I just get uh... You got chicken soup? "Nah only goat soup for today" "Uh can I get one goat soup... erm... and then some curried chicken with rice and peas" "Only plain rice" "Yeah can I just get plain rice then, and some erm steamed veg as well please" "Only plain rice?" "Yeah" |
