Lyrics
I started writing to kill the noise
Hopped on the mic to fill the void
I wrote outta depression and anger
Injustice, repression and hunger
For freedom
I rode on the bus, on the train
Outta fuss, on the plane
Again and again
I keep on
Setting sail with no ordinary compass
Mapping phases on this body canvas
In case of random memory loss
Cause my soul needs a story dose
Kintsugi on my heart
Mandala on my scars
There's beauty in my flaws
No grills but goldmine in my jaws
(ki) I spit gems
(ki) I spit gems
I nearly lost my life trynna find peace of mind
The abyss pulling, I pushed back with all my might
Mama I made it, I'm alive and I'm grateful big time
To the lands that bore my steps
The rivers that washed off my sweat
To the lake that tested my hopes and fears
And the ocean that washed away my sorrow and tears
To volcanoes reminding life is like a cigarette
And the wind on my curtain dancing like a silhouette
To all my people revealing their magnificence with grace
I salute y'all, I feel blessed in your presence, praise
To friends who lended a hand when I was sinking
In the quicksand of my imagination
This is my appreciation
(ki) I spit gems
(ki) I spit gems
(ki)
(ki)
