Dead Reckoning (ft. PK13)

  1. ///verse 1 Jonahh
  2. dead reckoning is navigation without external reference
  3. no gps no stars visible no deference
  4. to the fixed points above you calculate position
  5. from your last known point your speed your direction precision
  6. applied to the elapsed time you are here
  7. because you started there moved this fast this near
  8. to this heading for this long and the math
  9. gives you a best estimate of your current path
  10. that is how i have been moving through the dark sections
  11. no external validation no course corrections
  12. from outside only the last known point i trusted
  13. the speed i have been sustaining and the heading i have adjusted
  14. by dead reckoning and the error accumulates
  15. with every hour you are without a fix it conflates
  16. the small uncertainties into a significant drift
  17. and you have to correct when you finally get a lift
  18. of cloud and see the stars but in the interval
  19. the dead reckoning holds you to a provisional
  20. truth your best calculation of where you are
  21. based on where you have been and that is not far
  22. from how the craft works in the dark years
  23. when no one is listening and the work careers
  24. through the uncharted you keep moving by your last known
  25. by your speed your heading your disciplined alone
  26.  
  27. ///hook Jonahh
  28. dead reckoning i know where i am
  29. by where i started and the hours since then
  30. by the heading i have sustained in the uncharted dark
  31. by the speed of the work through the work that is the mark
  32. dead reckoning no external fix required
  33. position calculated from the interior acquired
  34. by discipline and elapsed time that is the navigation
  35. of the one without an audience the dead reckoning station
  36.  
  37. ///verse 2 Jonahh
  38. the error in dead reckoning is called accumulated drift
  39. and the longer you are without a fix the wider the rift
  40. between where you calculate you are and where you actually be
  41. and every good navigator knows this you correct when you see
  42. the fixed point you do not treat the reckoning as certainty
  43. you treat it as your best available your urgency
  44. driven approximation and then you update it
  45. when the cloud breaks and you recalculate it
  46. i have been updating since i started every time
  47. the cloud broke and i got a fix the paradigm
  48. shifted slightly the heading corrected the position
  49. revised not in defeat but in the tradition
  50. of the navigator who is always willing
  51. to revise against the actual always building
  52. a more accurate picture dead reckoning
  53. does not end when you get a fix it is reckoning
  54. all the time even with the stars visible
  55. the navigator is dead reckoning divisible
  56. between the external fix and the internal calculation
  57. both running simultaneously that is the navigation
  58. of the honest craftsperson always updating
  59. always willing to be wrong about your current rating
  60. of where you are and the dead reckoning
  61. is the discipline that keeps you reckoning
  62.  
  63. ///verse 3 PK13
  64. Woke up, from the alarm, shit I set seven years ago today.
  65. Atrocious pain I feel, so how do I go away from open flames?
  66. Don't throwaway your efforts, find escape
  67. And then embrace yourself today
  68. And melt away the self restraint
  69. to elevate your self contained reclaims
  70. And decimate the midday hate in your name
  71. But then I ...
  72. Workin' slaves, one in seven million,
  73. Reminiscent of my own fate,
  74. Exhibitions where I relate
  75. Self sufficient, avoid special interests
  76. There's slander on television, hate is only self inflicted
  77. I'm well conditioned to repetitions of definitions of negativist
  78. It's terrorism to me, personally, but I held on and benefited
  79. The mechanisms of being forced self conditioned through criticism
  80. To me, working perilously, in indecision
  81. Stick to public's fixed opinion, stay with my thoughts in indistinctness
  82. Or stay as wisdom given, should I disimprison myself, seein' labor inefficient?
  83. But evidently, I feel mental fatigue due to relevancy
  84. And the pressure is imminent, a swarm of debts coming for me,
  85. A mountain of work to complete. So, please, now listen to me.
  86. Don't take the judgement seat, live in your own luxury,
  87. with bad comes good with the cruelty.
  88. Glad that's something I can release in unity, so peace.
  89.  
  90. ///outro verse Jonahh
  91. i am somewhere in the deep water
  92. i know that by the pressure and the temperature
  93. and the elapsed time since i went under
  94. and the heading i have sustained and i am somewhere
  95. true the reckoning says so
  96. and the reckoning is honest
  97. and the reckoning is all i have got
  98. and that is enough
  99. to keep navigating
