History a story often told from the vantage of the master
The victor, the quote on quote winner
While the poor eating micro dinners, the rich eating caviar
The underdog cavalier and the pop culture superstar
Reminisce to the 1st days I talked about this
Convos in college I joked around with the scholars
But now I’m reading bout these stories that are so explicit
Wrote this letter
From my home oh so cleverly
Flew from brick city to Beverly, with my wife I had to be
Started to realize how we classify enemies
Thinking I’ve had my fair share of frenemies
Really don’t mean to impose, but I gotta juxtapose I suppose
Tryna bring clarity inside of a world that knows
Language powerful, we stereotyping folk
I write this piece bumping in stereo while thinking of these scenarios
Can we fly away from this reality
Oh no
But Can we remedy the pain that we feel, no more refills
Can we fly away from this reality
Oh no
You can remedy, God I’m giving you all that’s left of me
Been blessed to fly to many nations, Paris, Barcelona
Culture destinations, London, Morocco I gotta
See the Eiffel never did my eyes close
With my lady, photo shoot flicking straight from my iPhone, still thinking
Bout back home, while thinking we that grown
To travel where I don’t speak local language
Keeping our table manner sign my way to eat, signing off my social feeds
Had to come to grips that I got some privilege
Still we deny its existence, who are we really kidding
Listen, some people worship constitution more than they do Jesus
Enamored with genius can’t believe this
The thing is if we talking foundation
Some are wobbly probably cause your loyalty not for all human royalty
People forgotten at the bottom, we think everything political
Than we ridicule people call them minuscule, love that shown ain’t reciprocal
I recall thinkin' bout my identity
The brevity of human life ain’t the death of me
Can’t defame me, not going postal but like Dr. King
I’m so Olly Olly oxen free, to the silent
The boy is feeling quite ignited
I’m so fed up with this love unrequited
We divided, got a love but I can’t divide it
They say just pick a side like we out here supersizing
Can we fly away from this reality
Oh no
But Can we remedy the pain that we feel, no more refills
Can we fly away from this reality
Oh no
You can remedy, God I’m giving you all that’s left of me
I’m giving you all that’s left of me
